Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of Emergency Response System 2. Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compression 3. Rapid defibrillation with an AED 4. Effective advanced life support PEDIATRI 1. Prevention of arrest CS 2. Early high-quality bystander CPR 3. Rapid activation of Emergency Response System 4. Effective advanced life support Basic Framework for CPR Teamwork. Emergency responders will perform multirescuer coordinated CPR: one rescuer - CC; 2nd rescuer - rescue breaths via bag-mask 30:2 CPR. A lifeguard who rescues a device; drowning 3rd rescuer - defi brillator (AED) child/adult will provide both chest compressions and breaths with 30:2 Hands-Only CPR.
