Study Notes
Basic Life Support
- The first step in basic life support is to call for help or call 911.
CPR for Adults
- The recommended compression rate for adult CPR is 100-120 compressions per minute.
- The recommended compression depth for adult CPR is at least 2 inches (5 cm).
- The recommended ratio of chest compressions to rescue breaths in adult CPR is 30:2.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
- The purpose of using an AED in basic life support is to restore a normal heartbeat in a person who has stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating.
- An AED is used to deliver an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat.
Chest Compressions
- The correct hand placement for performing chest compressions on an adult during CPR is to place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest, with the other hand on top of the first hand, and to push down to the recommended depth.
