2- Rescuer infant BLS sequence - ✔✔✔1. check for response and breathing
2. if no response and no breathing/only gasping, send second rescuer to active ERS and get AED
3. check brachial pulse
4. if no pulse, HR <60/min, perform cycles of compressions and breaths at 30:2 ratio until second
rescuer arrives, then switch to 15:2
5. use AED as soon as it arrives
Basic Steps of CPR for adults - ✔✔✔1) unresponsive, no breathing or no normal breathing -> activate
ERS -> get AED -> check pulse -> start CPR -> check rhythm shock if needed per AED
Changes in 2010 AHA Guidelines - ✔✔✔- change in BLS sequence to CAB
- continued emphasis on high-quality CPR
- removal of "look, listen and feel for breathing" from assessment step
-routine use of cricoid pressure not recommended
-continued de-emphasis of pulse check
- use of manual defibrillator preferred to an AED in infants
critical characteristics of high-quality CPR - ✔✔✔-start compressions within 10 secs of recognition of
cardiac arrest
-push hard, push fast. rate of at least 100/min, depth of atleast 2 in for adults, approx 2 in for children,
and approx 1.5 in for infants
-allow complete chest recoil after each compression
-minimize interruptions in compressions
-give effective breaths that make chest rise
-avoid excessive ventilation
