    Study Notes

    CPR and AED Fundamentals

    • Activate emergency response system if a person is having trouble breathing.
    • When checking a conscious person: Ask questions, obtain consent, avoid moving any painful injuries.

    Initial Response

    • First step in an emergency: Recognize the emergency.
    • Check the scene for safety to prevent personal injury.

    Care Protocols

    • Unconscious victims are assumed to consent to care.
    • Use head tilt-chin lift to open the airway of an unconscious victim without neck injury.

    Locating Pulses

    • Brachial pulse is found on the inner upper arm between the elbow and shoulder.

    Response to Submersion

    • If an unconscious victim is submerged with no pulse or breathing, remove from water and clear the chest before applying AED pads.

    Chest Compression Guidelines

    • Adequate compression depth is crucial for blood flow; aim for at least 2 inches (5 cm) in children.
    • Recommended chest compression rate: 100-120 compressions per minute.
    • For 1-rescuer infant/child CPR, maintain a compression-ventilation ratio of 30:2.

    Special Situations

    • If an unconscious choking victim: After compressions, check for an obstruction.
    • If a victim vomits during rescue breaths: Roll them onto their side for safety.

    Emergency Actions

    • For unresponsive victims with gasping sounds and no pulse: Start CPR immediately.
    • If foreign-body obstruction occurs: Send for help and begin CPR with compressions.

    CPR Quality

    • High-quality CPR significantly increases survival chances.
    • During 2-person CPR, maintain a compression rate of 100-120 per minute.
    • Good Samaritan laws provide legal protection for individuals giving care in emergencies without compensation.

    Moving Victims

    • Only move an adult victim needing CPR if the scene is unsafe.

    Cardiac Chain of Survival

    • Links include early recognition, activation of emergency response, early CPR, and rapid defibrillation for effective emergency response.
