Lifeguard Training- Basic Life Support
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation - answer immediate treatment for a suspected cardiac
arrest. CPR can restore limited oxygen to the brain and other vital organs through a
combination of chest compression and rescue breaths.
Most effective way to end fibrillation is _____________ - answer defibrillation
chain of survival for cardiac arrests outside of a hospital - answer1. Early recognition of
cardiac arrest and prompt activation of the emergency response protocol for the setting
2. Immediate CPR with high-quality chest compressions
3. Rapid defibrillation, or electrical shock, to the heart
4. Effective basic and advanced EMS care and transport
5. Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital
The chain of survival inside a hospital - answer1. Monitoring, prevention, and treatment
of prearrest conditions
2. Early recognition of cardiac arrest and prompt activation of the emergency response
protocol for the setting
3. Immediate CPR with high-quality chest compressions
4. Rapid defibrillation, or electrical shock, to the heart
5. Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital
Secondary cardiac arrest - answercardiac arrest as a result of a blocked airway or loss
of breathing
Causes of secondary cardiac arrest - answerconfined space
drowning
drug overdoses
If the heart is simply too weak to create obvious signs of live, immediate ________, with
an emphasis on __________ ___________ _________, may be the only change to
restore them. - answerCPR; effective rescue breaths
Chain of survival for children and infants - answer1. Prevention of airway and breathing
emergencies
2. Early CPR, with an emphasis on effective rescue breaths, and, if needed,
defibrillation with an AED
3. Prompt activation of the emergency response protocol for the setting
4. Effective basic and advanced EMS care and transport
5. Effective post-cardiac arrest care at a hospital
, Naloxone or Narcan - answera medication that can temporarily reverse the life-
threatening effects of opioids
The 2 key elements of high-performance CPR - answer1. High-quality CPR skills
2. A more efficient team approach to resuscitation
Begin CPR compressions within in ______ ________ of determining cardiac arrest -
answer10 seconds
Compressing fast, at a rate of _________ to _________ times per minute - answer100;
120
Compressing hard, at least ____ ________ on an adult and at least ________ the
depth of the chest for children and infants - answer2 inches; 1/3
Allowing for complete chest _______ at the top of each compression - answerrecoil
Minimizing any _________ to compressions - answerinterruptions
Giving effective rescue breaths that create a __________ ____________ _________ -
answervisible chest rise
Avoiding _________ _____ on rescue breaths - answerexcessive air
An effective team approach - answer1. has clearly defined roles
2. uses clear and effective communication
3. allows multiple treatment actions to occur at the same time
4. maintains high-quality CPR by allowing team members to switch places when tired
5. Minimizes overall interruptions
Always ______ for a moment before approaching - answerpause
Look for __________ _________ - answerobvious hazards
Consider the possibility of __________ dangers - answerhidden
If the scene is not safe: - answerdo not enter it until hazards have been minimized or
eliminated
The most common infectious bloodborne diseases and pathogens include -
answerhepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV
BLS providers, and the locations in which they work, vary. So
