CPR

Effective chest compressions

• allows the chest to return to its normal position

• are delivered fast at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute

• are smooth, regular, and given straight up and down

• all of the above

A cycle of chest compressions and rescue breaths in CPR is

• 15 chest compressions to 1 rescue breath

• 15 chest compressions to 3 breaths

• 30 chest compressions to 1 rescue breath

• 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths

To give chest compressions to an adult, your hands should be placed

• In the middle of the chest along the breastbone

• just above the collarbone

• on either side of the rib cage

• on the lower tip of the breastbone

When giving a rescue breath, you should:

• blow hard and fast

• blow harder if the chest does not rise

• blow in for about 1 second and make the chest clearly rise

• give a breath that lasts for several seconds

How do you know if your breaths are adequate when performing bag and mask ventilation?

• By counting the number of breaths per minute

• By measuring the length of each breath

• By observing chest rise and fall, listening for breath sounds, and monitoring oxygen saturation levels.

Care for a person who is unresponsive and has a blocked airway includes:

• giving chest compressions

• looking for an object between compressions and breaths
