- Use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as disposable gloves and a breathing barrier for safety during care.
Initial Impression of Victim
- Formed by evaluating how the victim appears while sizing up the scene.
Unresponsive Adult Response
- After finding an unresponsive adult with a pulse, summon EMS personnel.
- Administer ventilations at a rate of one every 5-6 seconds.
Chest Compression Depth for Adults
- Compress the chest at least 2 inches, not exceeding 2.4 inches during CPR.
Cardiac Chain of Survival
- First step is recognizing a cardiac emergency and activating the emergency response system.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use
- After turning on the AED, apply the pads and let it analyze the heart rhythm.
Ventilation Protection
- Use resuscitation masks to protect against disease transmission during ventilations.
Primary Assessment Actions
- If an unresponsive adult has occasional gasps and no pulse, give 2 ventilations and begin CPR.
Ventilations for Children
- For a 5-year-old child, give 1 ventilation every 3 seconds.
Two-Rescuer CPR for Infants
- The cycle consists of 15 chest compressions followed by 2 ventilations.
Hand Placement for Infant CPR
- Place one hand on the forehead and two or three fingers on the center of the infant’s chest during compressions.
SAMPLE Acronym - Allergies
- In the acronym SAMPLE, the "A" stands for Allergies.
Caring for Seizure Victims in Water
- Support the victim's head above water until the seizure concludes.
