When was CPR created?
-
1965
-
1960
-
1958
Correct Answer
A. 1960Explanation
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was created in 1960. This technique combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to revive a person whose heart has stopped beating. It was developed by Dr. Peter Safar and Dr. James Elam, who introduced the concept of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and external chest compressions. CPR has since become a vital lifesaving skill taught to healthcare professionals and the general public.Rate this question:

Where do you put an IV when giving a baby drugs?
-
The radial artery
-
A vein
-
The mouth
Correct Answer
A. A veinExplanation
When giving a baby drugs, an IV (intravenous) is typically inserted into a vein. This allows for direct administration of the medication into the bloodstream, ensuring quick and efficient absorption. The radial artery is not used for IV placement as it is an artery, not a vein. The mouth is also not used for IV administration as it is a different route of drug administration, typically used for oral medications.Rate this question:

CPR was created by who?
-
Henry Heimlich
-
The American Heart Association
-
The American Cancer Association
Correct Answer
A. The American Heart AssociationExplanation
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was created by The American Heart Association. The organization developed and established the guidelines and techniques for CPR, which are widely recognized and used worldwide to save lives in emergency situations. The American Heart Association continues to play a crucial role in training individuals in CPR and promoting its importance in healthcare and emergency response.Rate this question:

When is the Heimlich maneuver used?
-
Choking
-
To resuscitate
-
To help eat
Correct Answer
A. ChokingExplanation
The Heimlich maneuver is used when someone is choking. It is a technique used to clear a person's airway by applying abdominal pressure, which helps to dislodge an object stuck in the throat and allows the person to breathe again. The maneuver is not used to resuscitate or help someone eat, but specifically for choking emergencies.Rate this question:

Henry Heimlich devised the Heimlich maneuver in?
-
May of 1974
-
June of 1974
-
December of 1975
Correct Answer
A. June of 1974Explanation
The correct answer is June of 1974. Henry Heimlich devised the Heimlich maneuver, a first-aid procedure used to treat choking victims, in June of 1974. This technique involves applying abdominal pressure to forcefully expel an obstructing object from a person's airway. It has since become a widely recognized and effective method for saving lives in emergency situations.Rate this question:

What is the medical term for pressing down several times on the chest?
-
CPR
-
Chest compressions
-
Rescue breathing
Correct Answer
A. Chest compressionsExplanation
Chest compressions is the correct answer because it refers to the medical procedure of pressing down several times on the chest. This technique is commonly performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to help circulate blood and maintain oxygen flow to the vital organs when the heart has stopped beating. Chest compressions are a crucial component of CPR and can help increase the chances of survival in cardiac arrest cases.Rate this question:

Heimlich Maneuver is performed by delivering upward thrusts into the what?
-
Abdomen
-
Stomach
-
Ribs
-
Mouth
Correct Answer
A. AbdomenExplanation
The Heimlich Maneuver is performed by delivering upward thrusts into the abdomen. This technique is used to dislodge an object stuck in the airway and prevent choking. By applying pressure to the abdomen, it creates a force that helps to expel the obstructing object and restore normal breathing. The maneuver targets the diaphragm and forces air out of the lungs, which can dislodge the blockage and allow the person to breathe again. The abdomen is the correct area to apply pressure in order to effectively perform the Heimlich Maneuver.Rate this question:

CPR is a manual way to keep the heart what?
-
Breathing
-
Pumping
-
Giving blood
Correct Answer
A. PumpingExplanation
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a manual technique used to keep the heart pumping. It involves chest compressions to manually circulate blood throughout the body when the heart is not functioning properly. By applying pressure to the chest, CPR helps to maintain blood flow and oxygenation to vital organs, keeping the heart pumping until further medical intervention can be provided.Rate this question:

CPr involves chest respirations at least how deep?
-
4 cm
-
5 cm
-
9 cm
-
2 cm
Correct Answer
A. 5 cmExplanation
CPr involves chest respirations at least 5 cm deep because this depth is necessary to ensure effective ventilation and oxygenation of the lungs. Chest compressions during CPR are performed to mimic the natural movement of the chest during normal breathing, and a depth of 5 cm allows for adequate airflow and oxygen exchange in the lungs. This depth is recommended by medical guidelines to maximize the chances of successful resuscitation.Rate this question:

In 2010 who updated the CPR guidelines?
-
AHA and the ILC
-
AHA and the ICC
-
ACA and the IPL
Correct Answer
A. AHA and the ILCExplanation
In 2010, the American Heart Association (AHA) and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILC) updated the CPR guidelines. These organizations are recognized globally for their expertise in resuscitation science and provide evidence-based recommendations for CPR practices. Their collaboration ensures that the guidelines are comprehensive, up-to-date, and reflect the latest advancements in resuscitation techniques.Rate this question:

CPR is considered for people who are unresponsive with no
Correct Answer
breathingExplanation
CPR is considered for people who are unresponsive and not breathing because it is a life-saving technique that can help restore blood circulation and oxygenation. When a person is unresponsive and not breathing, it indicates a potential cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. CPR involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to manually circulate oxygenated blood to vital organs until professional medical help arrives. By providing CPR, the chances of survival for the person increase significantly, as it helps maintain vital organ function and prevents brain damage due to lack of oxygen.Rate this question:

Chest compressions have to be at a rate of at least how many per minute?
-
100
-
200
-
125
Correct Answer
A. 100Explanation
Chest compressions have to be at a rate of at least 100 per minute in order to effectively perform CPR. This is because chest compressions help to circulate blood and oxygen to the vital organs, maintaining some level of perfusion until advanced medical help arrives. A rate of 100 compressions per minute ensures that there is adequate blood flow and oxygenation to the body, increasing the chances of survival for the person in need.Rate this question:
