Study Notes

Module 1: First Aid, CPR, AED Foundations

Joe must check the scene for safety before approaching a victim.
After ensuring safety, Joe should assess the situation by forming an initial impression, obtaining consent to care, and using personal protective equipment (PPE).
Use the mnemonic SAM (Signs, Allergies, Medications) to guide questions during patient interviews.
Focused checks should include areas relevant to observed symptoms, such as the right arm and elbow.

Module 2: Adult CPR and AED

Indications of cardiac arrest include unresponsiveness and not breathing or gasping.
In suspected cardiac arrest, call 9-1-1, retrieve an AED and first aid kit, then initiate CPR and use the AED.
High-quality chest compressions require a rate of 100 to 120 per minute with minimal interruptions and full chest recoil.
Proper hand positioning for chest compressions is the heel of one hand at the center of the chest, the other on top, with fingers interlaced and lifted off the chest.
Chest compressions should be at least 2 inches deep.
Use the head-tilt/chin-lift technique to open the airway to a past-neutral position for adult breaths.
Continuous chest compressions should be given if breaths cannot be provided during CPR.
AED pads should be placed with one pad on the upper right and the other on the lower left side of the chest.
During AED analysis, it is crucial to clear everyone from contacting the patient.
CPR should continue until there are signs of life, another responder is available, the rescuer is too fatigued, EMS personnel arrive, the scene becomes unsafe, or the AED instructs analysis.

Responder Coordination During CPR

When multiple trained responders are present, switch roles when the original responder shows signs of fatigue, after every five cycles of CPR, or roughly every 2 minutes.

Scenario-Based Responses

If a victim is unresponsive and not breathing, instruct someone to call 9-1-1 and send another for the AED.
For effective compressions, maintain shoulder alignment above hands, keep arms straight, and lock elbows to utilize body weight for compressions.
After 30 chest compressions, transition to giving 2 breaths.
AED pads should be placed on the upper right and lower left sides of the chest.
After delivering an AED shock, immediately resume CPR.
