Flashcards

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency medical procedure that combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to restore blood circulation and oxygen to the brain in a person who is unresponsive and not breathing normally.

What causes a heart attack?

A heart attack, medically termed acute myocardial infarction (AMI), occurs when the heart doesn't receive enough oxygen due to a blockage in the coronary arteries.

What is cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly stops beating effectively, preventing blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.

What is NOT a cause of cardiac arrest?

Cardiac arrest can be caused by various events like a heart attack, drowning, electric shock, or severe poisoning. However, regular exercise is not a typical cause of cardiac arrest.

How to perform rescue breathing in CPR?

When performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, tilt the victim's head back to open their airway. Seal your mouth over their mouth and blow air into their lungs while ensuring their nostrils are blocked to prevent air leaks.

What to do if there is excessive chest hair for AED?

If excessive chest hair is detected when using an AED, try to remove it quickly if it's possible and safe to do so. This improves the conductivity of the pads.
