Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Procedures and Techniques Quiz

Emergency procedure to manually preserve brain function until further measures can restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing.

Determines if the victim is conscious and in need of immediate assistance.

Device used to analyze heart rhythm and deliver electric shock if necessary.

Maximizes effectiveness by compressing the heart directly.

Facilitates airflow by preventing obstruction of the upper airway.

Depth required to adequately circulate blood without causing unnecessary damage.

Maintains oxygenation while circulating blood to vital organs.

Sufficient to maintain blood circulation without causing harm.

Prevents obstruction of the airway and facilitates breathing.

Determines if CPR is necessary and guides appropriate intervention.

Sufficient to circulate blood without causing harm to infants.

Critical for oxygenation and respiration during resuscitation.

Allows efficient delivery of electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm.

Prevents impeding blood flow during chest compressions.

Indicates successful delivery of rescue breaths and adequate circulation.

Optimal rate to maintain blood flow and oxygenation.

Critical to reversing potentially fatal arrhythmias.

Balances oxygenation and circulation for optimal resuscitation.

Can lead to airway obstruction and cessation of breathing.
