What are true statements regarding Adult CPR?
True statements regarding Adult CPR include:
* Adult CPR consists of chest compressions and rescue breaths, both of which are essential for effective resuscitations.
* Chest compressions should be administered at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.
* The depth of chest compressions should be at least 3.8 - 5 cm or 1.5 - 2 inches.
* After 30 compressions, provide two rescue breaths, ensuring the breaths make the chest rise.
* After providing two breaths, immediately resume chest compressions.
* Continue cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths without pauses, or use a ratio of 30:2 for continuous compressions, if trained to do so.
* Perform CPR on a hard, flat surface to allow adequate chest compression depth.
* Stay with the person and continue CPR until emergency medical personnel arrive, or until signs of life return.
* Regularly update your CPR certification to ensure you're familiar with the most current evidence-based practices.
