When an advanced airway in place rescue breaths should be given at a rate of quizlet?

C-A-B

compressions, airway, breaths

Start compressions within ______ seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest.

10

Push hard, push fast: compress at a rate of ______ to _______/min with a depth of:

100 to 120/min
-At least 2 inches (5cm) for adults
-At least 1/3 the depth of the chest, about 2 inches (5cm), for children
-At least 1/3 the depth of the chest, about 1 1/2 inches (4cm), for infants

Allow complete chest recoil

after each compression. This allows blood to flow into the heart. Incomplete chest recoil reduces the filling of the heart between compressions and reduces the blood flow

Minimize interruptions

in compressions (try to limit interruptions to less than 10 seconds)

Give effective breathes

that make the chest rise.

Avoid excessive

ventilation.

Scene saftey: Make sure the environment is

safe for the rescuers and victim(s).

Recognition of cardiac arrest:

1. Check for responsiveness
2. No breathing or only gasping
3. No definite pulse felt within 10 seconds
4. Breathing and pulse check can be performed simultaneously in less than 10 seconds
