Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Protocols and Management Quiz

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, a life-saving technique that combines chest compressions and rescue breaths.

Checking for a pulse is a crucial step in the CPR sequence to assess the need for chest compressions.

A heart attack is a common cause of cardiac arrest, where blood flow to the heart is blocked, leading to the heart's inability to pump blood effectively.

The first step when finding an unresponsive person is to call for help, initiating the emergency response.

The first action when starting CPR is to check for responsiveness, ensuring the person needs immediate assistance.

The recommended rate of chest compressions for adult CPR is 100 compressions per minute.

Rescue breaths in CPR aim to maintain oxygenation of the blood by providing fresh air to the lungs.

The CAB sequence in CPR (Compressions, Airway, Breathing) provides a structured approach, emphasizing the importance of compressions before addressing the airway and breathing.

The recommended depth for chest compressions during adult CPR is 2 inches, providing sufficient pressure to circulate blood.

The recommended ratio of compressions to breaths in adult CPR is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

In cases of suspected spinal injury, the airway for CPR should be opened while maintaining the head in a neutral alignment to avoid exacerbating the injury.

Ventricular fibrillation is a shockable rhythm, and an AED can be used to deliver shocks to correct this abnormal heart rhythm.

The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for a lone rescuer performing CPR on an infant is 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-rescuer infant CPR is 15 compressions to 2 breaths.
