What is the primary purpose of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)?
✔✔ The primary purpose of CPR is to restore blood flow and breathing in an individual who has
stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. It involves chest compressions and rescue
breaths to maintain circulation and oxygenate vital organs until advanced medical help arrives.
How should chest compressions be performed during CPR?
✔✔ Chest compressions should be performed with firm, continuous pressure at a depth of about
2 inches and a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. The hands should be placed on the
center of the chest, and compressions should be delivered with minimal interruptions to maintain
blood flow.
What are the key steps to take when performing CPR on an adult?
1
, ✔✔ The key steps for performing CPR on an adult include checking for responsiveness, calling
for emergency assistance, starting chest compressions, and providing rescue breaths.
Compressions should be given first, and rescue breaths should be administered after every 30
compressions.
How does the use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) assist in cardiac emergencies?
✔✔ An AED assists in cardiac emergencies by analyzing the heart’s rhythm and delivering an
electric shock if necessary to restore a normal heart rhythm. It provides voice prompts and visual
instructions to guide users through the process of applying electrode pads and administering the
shock.
What are the steps for using an AED?
✔✔ The steps for using an AED include turning on the device, attaching the electrode pads to
the patient's bare chest, allowing the AED to analyze the heart rhythm, and delivering a shock if
prompted. After delivering a shock or if no shock is advised, resume CPR until professional help
arrives.
