    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The appropriate rate for chest compressions is?

    • 80/min

    • 80-100/min

    • 99/min

    • >100/min

    • 120/min

    Correct Answer
    A. >100/min
    Explanation
    The goal is to do greater than 100 compressions per minute but allow for complete chest recoil between compressions.

    In the intrathoracic pressure pump theory on how chest compressions work coronary blood flow occurs during?

    • Diastole- relaxation/recoil phase

    • Systole- compression phase

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Diastole- relaxation/recoil phase
    Explanation
    Coronary blood flow only occurs during diastole in the intrathoracic pressure pump theory as opposed to both systole and diastole in the cardiac compression pump theory of CPR.

    Rate this question:

    • 6 breaths per minute

    • 8 breaths per minute

    • 12 breaths per minute

    • 14 breaths per minute

    • 20 breaths per minute

    • None of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. 8 breaths per minute
