What is the most common cause of cardiac arrest in children? Respiratory failure or shock What is cardiac arrest? Occurs when the heart develops an abnormal rhythm and stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs What is heart attack? A blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle. List the eight components of high quality CPR. 1. Start compressions within 10 seconds of recognition of cardiac arrest. 2. Compress at a rate of 100-120/min with a depth of at least 2 inches in adults/children and 1 1/2 inches in infants. 3. Allow complete chest recoil after each compression. 4. Minimize interruptions in compressions (limit to <10 seconds). 5. Give effective breaths that make the chest visibly rise. 6. Switch compressors about every 2 minutes or earlier if fatigued. 7. Continue delivering chest compressions while the AED is charging. 8. Avoid prolonged rhythm analysis, frequent or inappropriate pulse checks, taking too long to give breaths to the patient, excessive ventilation, or unnecessarily moving the patient. What is the recommended compression depth for adults and children? 2 inches What is the recommended compression depth for infants? 1 1/2 inches What can result if a patient is ventilated too quickly?
