Answer 1

Emergency Action Steps: Check that the area is safe, then perform the following basic CPR steps: Contact 911 or ask someone else to. Lay the person on their back and open their airway. Check for breathing. ... Perform 30 chest compressions. Perform two rescue breaths. Repeat until an ambulance or automated external defibrillator (AED) arrives.

Five Components of High-Quality CPR: Achieving a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute. Compressing the chest to a depth of 2–2.4 inches (5–6 centimeters) Avoiding leaning on the chest to allow for full chest wall recoil after each compression. Minimizing pauses in compressions (chest compression fraction > 60%)

What is the cardiac chain of survival?: When the Chain of Survival metaphor was first created and described, it included early recognition, early access, early CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced life support (Newman M, Journal of EMS, 1989, Newman M, Currents in Emergency Cardiac Care, 1990).
