Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Procedures Quiz

Checking for responsiveness is the initial step in CPR to assess if the person is conscious and breathing.

'C' in CPR stands for Compression, which is the primary action to circulate blood in the body during CPR.

The recommended compression depth for adult CPR is 2 inches (5 cm) to effectively pump blood.

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for adults in CPR is 30 compressions to 2 ventilations, maintaining blood circulation and oxygenation.

Before starting CPR on an unconscious person, it is vital to check for breathing and a pulse to determine if CPR is needed.

A visible rise in the chest with each ventilation is a sign of effective CPR and proper airway management.

If a person shows signs of consciousness during CPR, it's crucial to check for pulse and breathing and stop CPR if not needed.

The recommended compression rate for adult CPR is 100-120 compressions per minute to maintain blood flow.

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for infant CPR is 15 compressions to 2 ventilations, tailored for their smaller size.

For infant CPR, the recommended compression depth is 1 inch (2.5 cm) to prevent injury and ensure effective circulation.

The recommended compression rate for infant CPR is 80-100 compressions per minute to maintain circulation.

Rescue breaths in CPR are aimed at restoring normal breathing by providing oxygen to the lungs and body.
