The BLS Survey includes assessing which of the following?
Responsiveness, Activate EMS and get an AED, Circulation, Defibrillation
Airway, Blood Pressure, CPR, Differential Diagnosis
Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Defibrillation
Responsiveness, Breathing, Cardiac Assessment, Drugs
Hyperventillation (over ventillation) can be harmful because it:
Increases intrathoracic pressure
Decreases venous return to the heart
Diminishes cardiac output
All of the above
What is the purpose of defibrillation?
To treat symptomatic bradycardia.
To stun the heart and allow its normal pacemaker to resume electrical activity.
To restart the heart.
To provide electrically stimulated contraction of the heart.
The proper steps for operating an AED are:
