Welcome to the CPR training course! We are so glad to welcome you to our online training module.
To begin, we will learn about the steps and techniques that go along with it.
Throughout the module, there will be check-in questions to make sure information is being absorbed properly. Finally, there will be a quiz at the end to test your knowledge.
Verify the scene is safe. Check for responsiveness by tapping the shoulders and shouting. Simultaneously scan the chest for breathing and palpate the carotid pulse for no less than 5 but no mare than 10 seconds.
Check for a carotid pulse simultaneously. If there is no pulse or breathing, begin CPR immediately.
Drag and drop your answer into the light blue box.
How long do you assess a person's pulse?
Hint: It has something to do with how long you check before starting CPR
If the person is unresponsive and has no pulse (or is only gasping), immediately activate the emergency response system and send a specific bystander to retrieve the AED.
Drag and drop your answer into the light blue box.
What is one critical fail step before beginning to provide compressions?
Hint: It has something to do with the region in which you place your hands
Deliver compressions at a rate of 100-120 BPM and at a depth of 2-2.4 inches (5-6cm). Ensure full chest recoil after each compression.
Common mistake: Inadequate compression depth.
Critical Fail: Pausing compressions for more than 10 seconds.
Drag and drop your answer into the light blue box.
Along with having proper form and allowing chest recoil, how deep should chest compressions be?
Hint: It can also be defined as 5-6 centimeters
Drag and drop your answer into the light blue box.
What should you NEVER do when giving chest compressions?
Hint: it has something to do with WHEN you are giving the compressions
Perform a head tilt/chin lift maneuver to open the airway (use jaw thrust maneuver if cervical spine injury is suspected). Make sure the airway is clear of foreign objects or secretions.
Using a barrier device (e.g. Bag-Valve-Mask or Pocket Mask), deliver 2 rescue breaths. Each breath should last approximately 1 second and provide in enough volume to result in visible chest rise.
Cycle 30 compressions per 2 breaths and keep interruptions to less than 10 seconds.
Common Mistake: Excessive ventilation
Drag and drop your answer into the light blue box.
What is one common mistake that happens when delivering rescue breaths?
Hint: Think about your technique when performing rescue breaths
After 5 cycles, reassess the rhythm and pulse (approximately 2 minutes). If multiple providers are present, switch roles to prevent compressor fatigue and maintain compression quality.
