Q

What happens if a code is called outside the hospital?

A

911 is called

17
Q

How long can the brain go without oxygen before brain damage?

A

No longer than 4-6 minutes

18
Q

What steps are involved in one person CPR?

A
  • Establish unresponsiveness (Shake and shout method for adults)
  • Feel for a pulse and check patient’s breathing
  • Call for help STAT and be specific
  • Position patient on their back on a hard surface
  • Apply 30 cardiac compressions, open the airway and proceed with rescue breathing (2 breaths)
  • Repeat for a total of 5 cycles then reassess the patient’s condition
19
Q

What is the proper hand placement for compressions?

A

NAME?

20
Q

What is the proper cadence for chest compressions?

A

Give 30 compressions in a smooth rhythm about 2 inches in depth at a rate of 100 compressions per minute

21
Q

How should the airway be opened?

A

By tilting the head back gently with one hand on the forehead and other hand on the chin

22
Q

How do you establish breathlessness?

A

NAME?

23
Q

How to perform rescue breathing?

A
  • Place one hand on the forehead of the victim and pinch their nose
  • Take a deep breath and seal lips around victims mouth
  • Give 2 rescue breaths for 1 second each and observe if the chest rises/falls
24
Q

How to establish circulatory inadequacy?

A

Palpate the carotid artery and if after 5-10 seconds the pulse is absent, proceed with chest compressions

25
Q

What are some possible complication of CPR?

A

NAME?

26
Q

What is pneumothorax?

A

A collection of air or gas in the pleural space, causing the lungs to collapse

27
Q

What is fat emboli?

A

A blockage of an artery in the lungs by fat, air, clumped tumor cells or a blood clot

28
Q

How is two person rescue CPR different than one person?

A

Same steps, but one person is responsible for ventilations and the other does compressions and switch positions

29
Q

What is the person placement for two person CPR?

A

NAME?

30
Q

How does infant CPR differ from adult CPR?

A

Its similar except for the volume of air, placement of hands and depth of compressions

31
Q

What air volume should be used in infants?

A

Just enough air to cause the chest to rise and fall

32
Q

What is the hand placement for infant CPR?

A

Two fingers used on the sternum instead of palm of hands

33
Q

What is the depth of compression for 8 y/o and older?

A

The sternum is compressions 1-1 1/2 inches

34
Q

What is the depth of compression for infants?

A

The sternum is compresses 1/2 - 1 inch
