Study Notes
Chain of Survival
- The first link in the adult Chain of Survival is recognizing the emergency and activating the emergency response system.
- The second step is performing early CPR.
- The final link is advanced life support.
CPR Compression Rate
- The recommended rate for adult CPR according to the 2015 guidelines is 100-120 compressions per minute.
Compression Depth
- The recommended depth of chest compressions for adults, according to the 2015 BLS guidelines, is at least 2 inches deep.
2010 BLS Guideline Change
- The 2010 BLS guidelines changed the sequence from Airway, Breathing, Compressions (ABC) to Compressions, Airway, Breathing (CAB).
Rescuer Switching
- Rescuers should switch roles every 2 minutes to prevent fatigue during adult CPR.
Compression to Ventilation Ratio (One Rescuer)
- The recommended compression to ventilation ratio for one-rescuer CPR on an adult is 30:2.
Adult Victim with Pulse but Not Breathing
- If an adult victim has a pulse but is not breathing, provide rescue breaths.
Two-Rescuer CPR Role of Second Rescuer
- In two-rescuer CPR, the second rescuer's role is to provide ventilations and operate the AED.
Mouth-to-Mask Ventilation
- When using a pocket mask for mouth-to-mask ventilation, ensure a tight seal and deliver each breath over 1 second.
Bag-Mask Ventilation in Two-Rescuer CPR
- During bag-mask ventilation in two-rescuer CPR, the rescuer should deliver one breath every 5-6 seconds.
Correct Hand Placement for Chest Compressions
- Place your hands on the lower half of the breastbone, between the nipples, for chest compressions on adults.
Recommended Compression Depth
- The recommended compression depth for adult CPR is at least 2 inches.
AED Application Timing
- Apply an AED as soon as it is available during an adult cardiac arrest.
Primary Purpose of Chest Compressions
- The primary purpose of chest compressions during CPR is to circulate blood to the brain and vital organs.
Checking for Signs of Life and Pulse in Adult CPR
- Check for signs of life and a pulse every 2 minutes during adult CPR.
Minimizing Interruptions During CPR
- Minimize interruptions during CPR to 10 seconds or less.
AED Sequence of Steps
- The correct sequence of steps for using an AED is to power on the AED, attach electrode pads, analyze the rhythm, and deliver a shock.
Recommended Compression Rate
- The recommended rate of compressions per minute in adult CPR is 100-120.
Rescue Breathing Breath Duration
- Each breath delivered during rescue breathing should last for 1 second.
Purpose of Chest Recoil
- Allowing complete chest recoil after each compression enables the heart to refill with blood, promoting effective circulation.
CPR Event Additional Help
- Call for additional help as soon as you recognize the emergency, which includes when the victim is unresponsive and not breathing.
Two-Rescuer CPR Ventilator Role
- The rescuer performing ventilations in two-rescuer CPR should ensure visible chest rise with each breath.
Weak Pulse, Non-Breathing Victim
- In a weak pulse, non-breathing adult victim, recommend providing rescue breaths.
