The initial assessment must be performed quickly in the unconscious patient. CPR should be started immediately, in less than 10 seconds from arrival, if no signs of life are noted. Gasping breaths do not rule out cardiac arrest.

Excellent mechanics enhance optimum CPR delivery.

Manage ventilation rate and depth carefully. Avoid excessive ventilation.

Effective BLS compressions with ventilations should be performed to minimize any interruptions.

Common errors that will decrease the success of your resuscitation efforts.

Putting it all together for an effective resuscitation

Consider all of your options in managing the airway of the cardiac arrest victim. Compressions should not be interrupted for insertion of any airway.

Efficient application of any automated compression device is crucial to avoid prolonged pauses in CPR.

Pediatric High Performance Rescusitation

Smooth, efficient rotation of compressors every two minutes maximizes on-chest time

Common problem areas and how to avoid them in your resuscitations.

Don't let adding technology decrease your compression rate or depth. Here are some techniques to minimize pauses
