Study Notes

CPR Basics

The correct rate of chest compressions for an adult victim is at least 100 per minute.
The correct depth of chest compressions for an adult victim is 6-8 cm.

2-Rescuer CPR

Rescuers should switch roles every 2 minutes when performing 2-rescuer CPR.
This is to prevent fatigue and maintain effective CPR.

CPR for Children

For a 3-year-old child, chest compressions should be performed with one hand, with the heel of the hand on the center of the chest.
The correct rate of chest compressions for a child is 100-120 per minute.
For an infant, chest compressions should be performed with two fingers, with the fingers on the center of the chest.

Airway Obstruction

If a patient with an airway obstruction becomes unresponsive, lay them on the ground, open the airway, and attempt to give two rescue breaths.
If the patient is still unresponsive, start chest compression immediately.

Bleeding Control

If someone is bleeding from a wound, apply pressure to the injury to control the bleeding.
Do not let the blood drain out, tie a tourniquet, or dab the injury with something ice cold.

Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest is when a victim's heart stops beating.
Heart attack is when the heart muscle is damaged due to a lack of blood flow.

Chain of Survival

The chain of survival for adults includes activation of the emergency medical system, CPR, early defibrillation, and advanced life support.
The first link in the chain of survival is to recognize the emergency and call for help.

Breathing Assessment

Adequate signs of breathing include equal expansion of both sides of the chest, air moving in and out of the nose, and present and equal breath sounds.
Breathing assessment should not exceed 10 seconds.

Infant CPR

Use the rate of 100-120 compressions per minute for infant CPR.
Press in the middle portion of the sternum using two fingers.
Compression-to-ventilation ratio is 30:3.
Check for circulation by feeling the carotid pulse.

CPR Complications

Complications of CPR include broken ribs and lung injuries.
These complications can occur if CPR is not performed correctly.
