Study Notes

CPR Basics

Chest compressions should be delivered at a rate of 100 per minute for all ages.
The adult CPR compression-ventilation ratio for one or two rescuers is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.
For child or infant CPR, the ratio is adjusted to 15 compressions to 2 breaths.

Proper Technique

Hands during adult CPR should be placed on the lower half of the breastbone.
For two-rescuer infant CPR, use the two-thumb technique with thumbs on the chest and the encircling hands supporting the infant.
Compressions for adults should have a depth of 2 inches; for infants, compress to 1/3 of the chest depth, approximately 4 cm.

Effectiveness of Rescue Breaths

Rescue breaths are effective if the chest visibly rises during the process.

AED Usage

The first step in using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is to turn it on.
After delivering a shock with an AED, check for breathing. If absent, commence compressions and rescue breaths.

Importance of High-Quality CPR

High-quality CPR ensures sufficient blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body when performed correctly.

Scene Safety and Protocols

Assess scene safety immediately upon arrival.
Minimize interruptions in CPR to no more than 10 seconds.

Response Timing

Chest compressions should begin within 10 seconds if a victim is unresponsive and lacks a pulse.

Rescuer Responsibilities

In a two-rescuer scenario, the first rescuer begins chest compressions while the second rescuer calls for emergency help or operates the AED.

Choking Protocols

For unresponsive choking victims, immediately call for help and initiate CPR.
Administer rescue breaths for children or infants every 3-5 seconds; for adults, every 5-6 seconds.
To relieve choking in infants, perform 5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts.
For adults, use the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) to alleviate choking.

Additional Choking Steps

If a choking victim becomes unresponsive, perform CPR and check the airway for visible obstructions before attempting rescue breaths.
