    step 5 of the chain of survival is
    hospital care(ALS and post arrest care)
  18. Automated External Defibrillation:

    manual defibrillation is prefered on what patient?
    children 1month to 1years old
  21. Automated External Defibrillation:

    if you have to use adult AED pads on a child where should place the pads?
    anterior and posterior of the body
  22. Positioning the Patient:

    when performing CPR what postion should the patient be in
    supine position
  23. Check for Breathing and a Pulse:

    checking for pulse and breathing should take no longer than how many secs?
    10secs
  24. Check for Breathing and a Pulse:

    what should you let the chest do between compressions
    completely recoil
  25. Check for Breathing and a Pulse:

    compressions provide how much of the normal heart pumped blood?
    one third of normal heart pumped blood
  26. Opening the Airway and Providing Artificial Ventilation:

    what two maneuvers should you use to open the airway
    • head tilt chin lift
    • jaw thrust
  27. Opening the Airway and Providing Artificial Ventilation:

    if patient is breathing and has no trauma, what position should you place the patient in?
    recovery position

    • active compression decompression CPR
    • -may increase the amount of blood that returns to the heart
    • -EMS provider places a suction cup on the chest to provide active decompressions
  33. Devices and Techniques to Assist Circulation:

    drepresses the sternum via compressed gasor electric powered
    • mechanical piston device
    • -provides consistent delivery of compressions
  34. Devices and Techniques to Assist Circulation:

    -circumferential chest compression device composed of a constricting band and back board
    -electrically or pneumatically driven to compress the heart by putting inward pressureon the throax
    laod distributing band CPR or vest CPR
  35. Devices and Techniques to Assist Circulation:

    what CPR device or technique remains the standard of care
    manual chest compressions
  36. Infant and Child CPR:

    to check responsiveness of a child or infant tap on their shoulder or speak loudly
    true/false
    true
  37. Infant and Child CPR:

    if you find a unresponsive child or infant, how many cycles of CPR should you perform before calling EMS
