Possible Points | Points Awarded | |
Takes, or verbalizes, body substance isolation precautions | 1 |
|
Establishes unresponsiveness | 1 |
|
Opens the airway (head tilt – chin lift or jaw thrust maneuver) | 1 |
|
Assesses breathing (look, listen and feel) to identify absent or inadequate breathing—taking no more than 10 seconds | 1 |
|
If victim is breathing or resumes effective breathing, place victim in recovery position | 1 |
|
If victim is not breathing, gives 2 slow breaths (mouth-to-mouth, with enough volume to make the chest rise, taking 1 – 1-1/2 seconds per breath) | 1 |
|
If unable to give initial breaths, repositions the head and reattempts ventilation. If still unsuccessful, follows unresponsive FBAO sequence | 1 |
|
Assesses for signs of circulation by feeling for a carotid pulse—taking no more than 10 seconds | 1 |
|
If there are no signs of circulation, begins chest compressions by locating proper hand position | 1 |
|
Performs 5 chest compressions at a rate of approximately 100 per minute | 1 |
|
Opens the airway and delivers 1 ventilation (1 – 1-1/2 seconds per breath; use bag mask ventilation if readily available) | 1 |
|
Performs 10 complete cycles of 5 compressions and 1 ventilation (5:1 ratio) | 1 |
|
Re-assesses for signs of circulation (10 seconds) | 1 |
|
If there are still no signs of circulation, resumes CPR, beginning with chest compressions, checking for signs of circulation and spontaneous breathing every few minutes | 1 |
|
If signs of circulation are present, checks for breathing | 1 |
|
If breathing is present, places the victim in a recovery position and monitors breathing and circulation | 1 |
|
If breathing is absent but signs of circulation are present, provides rescue breathing at 20 breaths per minute (1 breath every 3 seconds) and monitors for signs of circulation every few minutes | 1 |
