Part One Flashcards
rate for rescue breathing: adults
One (1) breath, every SIX (6); 10 - 12 breaths per minute
compression rate: infants/children +1 rescuer
30:2
compression rate: infants/children + 2 rescuer
15:2
rate of breaths using bag-mask device
1 breath over 1 second
depth of compressions: infant
4cm - 1.5 inches
depth of compressions: adult
5 cm - 2 inches
depth of compressions: child > 8 yo
5 cm - 2 inches
rate of rescue breathing: peds
every 2-3 seconds; one breath every 2-3 seconds (20-30 breaths per minute)
describe difference between peds and adult cpr + the categories that have those differences
- rate for rescue breathing
- witnessed or unwitnessed
- hand position
- compression rate for peds: 1 v 2 rescuer
- pad placement
- use of heart rate > 60 to determine if CPR starts
- adults vs peds compression rate
- where to check for pulse: infants v 8+ v adults
how long to check for breathing and pulse?
5-10 seconds
