Lifeguard Training Revision Exam
Questions And 100% Correct Answers.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest(SCA) - Answer - Occurs when the electrical system of the heart malfunctions,
results in ventricular fibrillation
- Forward movement of blood stops
- Affected person abruptly becomes unresponsive, stops breathing
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - Answer Combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths
Can restore limited blood flow and oxygen to the brain
Does not address the underlying problem with the heart
Early Defibrillation - Answer Defibrillation is the most effective way to end ventricular fibrillation and
restore a normal heartbeat
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable, computerized device that is simple to operate
Use of AEDs by emergency responders allows defibrillation to occur much earlier than before
Chain of Survival - Answer Most SCAs occur outside of a hospital, primarily in a home
Chain of survival describes the most effective approach to manage SCA
All links of chain must be strong in order for person to survive
, Secondary Cardiac Arrest - Answer Occurs as the end result of a loss of an airway or breathing
Without oxygen, the heart gets progressively weaker until it stops
CPR with an emphasis on rescue breaths may be the only chance to help
Opioid Overdose - Answer Abuse of opioids is a serious health problem
Opioids can depress and stop breathing, resulting in secondary cardiac arrest
Naloxone is medication that can quickly reverse opioid effects and is being made more available to those
likely to be in contact with someone who may have an opioid overdose
Children + Infants - Answer Much more likely to experience a secondary cardiac arrest instead of a
sudden one
Describing ages in relation to CPR:
- An infant is younger than 1 year of age
- A child is 1 year of age until onset of puberty
- An adult is from onset of puberty and older
High-Quality CPR Skills - Answer Higher quality CPR skills can improve survival from cardiac arrest
High-quality skills include
- Beginning CPR compressions within 10 seconds of determining cardiac arrest
- Compressing fast, 100-120 times per minute
- Compressing hard, at least 2 inches on an adult, and at least 1/3 depth of chest for children and infants
- Allowing complete chest recoil at top of each compression
