1. What is the purpose of CPR?
- To use chest compressions to mimic how the heart pumps. These
compressions help blood flow throughout the body.
2. How many people die every year from cardiac arrest in the United States?
- 436.00 Americans die from cardiac arrest each year.
3. What are the 5 links in the adult out-of-hospital Chain of Survival?
- 1. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency
response system
- 2. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- 3. Rapid defibrillation
- 4. Effective advanced cardiac life support
- 5. Integrated post-resuscitative care
4. What percentage of people survive with the help of bystander-administered
AED? What is the survival percentage after waiting on an emergency medical
crew? What conclusions can you draw?(HINT: You may need to click on an
additional link to find this information}
- The percentage of people that survive with the help of a
bystander-administered AED is 66%. The survival rate from cardiac arrest
drops by 7-10% for every minute that a patient has to wait for defibrillation.
It is better to start CPR and call an emergency medical crew as fast as
possible.
5. What is the depth of compressions for an average adult victim? How fast
should compressions be given?
- The depth of compression for an average adult victim is 2 inches. Chest
compressions should be given at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions a
minute.
6. When might you use Hands-only CPR?
When a person's heart stops beating in order to keep blood flowing to their
brain.
- To use chest compressions to mimic how the heart pumps. These
compressions help blood flow throughout the body.
