Obtain consent
An electrical shock delivered to the heart to correct certain abnormal heart rhythms is called:
Asystole.
Defibrillation
Diastole
Fibrillation
It is important for everyone to “stand clear” before using an AED to deliver a shock because:
The AED may not deliver the correct shock to the victim.
The AED will not work unless you stand clear.
The victim’s arm may swing out and strike you when the shock is delivered.
You or someone else could get shocked.
Early defibrillation is an important step in the Cardiac Chain of Survival for all of the reasons below EXCEPT:
Asystole cannot be corrected by defibrillation.
Delivering an electrical shock disrupts the electrical activity of the heart long enough to allow the heart to spontaneously develop an effective rhythm on its own.
Each minute that defibrillation is delayed reduces the chance of survival by about ten percent.
EMS personnel can transport the victim to the hospital more quickly.
After confirming that a victim is not breathing normally, and an AED is available, the next step is to:
Deliver a shock if one is indicated, after ensuring that no one is touching the victim and there are no hazards present.
Let the AED analyze the victim’s heart rhythm or push the button marked “analyze.”
Plug the connector into the AED, and attach the pads to the victim’s chest.
Turn on the AED.
When using an AED:
Check for a pulse while the device is delivering a shock.
Dry the victim’s chest thoroughly using alcohol and gauze pads.
Place the victim on his or her side.
Remove any patches you see on the victim’s chest.
Where should you place the AED pads on an adult victim?
One under the left arm pit and one high on the right side of the chest.
One under the right arm and one high on the left side of the chest.
One under each arm pit.
One in the centre of the back and one over the centre of the chest.
What should you do if the AED advises that a shock is required?
Keep performing CPR until the very last moment.
Make sure that no one is touching the casualty and give a verbal warning.
Stop performing CPR, but keep checking for a pulse.
Stop doing chest compressions, but keep doing rescue breathing.
Where should you place the AED pads on a small child victim?
Under what circumstances should you shave a victims chest?
Always to make sure that you get perfect contact between pads and skin.
Only if the casualty is male and over 21 years old.
Never, the shock will work regardless of the presence of hair.
Only if there is excessive hair preventing good contact being made between the pads and the skin.
What should you do if you find that the casualty is wearing a nicotine, or similar, patch on their chest?
Make sure that neither of the AED pads is placed over the patch.
Continue with CPR and wait for the paramedic to arrive.
Remove the patch and place the AED pads as normal.
Place the pads as normal and follow instructions from the AED.
When assessing the victim, you should remember to “look, listen and feel” for breathing.
