Even if you have no training in cardiac rhythm recognition, you should still use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in a cardiac arrest situation if available.a. Trueb. False

Question 1 (2 points)If alone, once you have turned on the AED you should: aGive abdominal thrusts. bGive chest compressions. cApply the pads & allow the AED to analyze the heart rhythm. dCheck for movement & breathing.Question 2 (2 points)When a cardiac arrest occurs & an AED becomes available, it should be used as soon as possible. True FalseQuestion 3 (2 points)Which of the following statements about defibrillation is true? aIt is not a link in the Cardiac Chain of survival. bIt is commonly used on a person complaining of chest pain. cIt is more likely to be successful if CPR is withheld. dIt is an electrical shock that may help the heart to spontaneously develop an effective rhythm.Question 4 (2 points)What should you do before the AED analyzes the heart rhythm? aensure that no one, including you, is touching the person. bensure that the head-tilt/jaw-thrust is maintained. censure that the person is breathing. dnone of the above.Question 5 (2 points)When are the benefits of early CPR & early defibrillation when a person is in cardiac arrest? aThey can eliminate the need for advanced medical care. bThey can reduce responder fatigue. cThey can give the person the best chance for surviving cardiac arrest. dAll of the above.Question 6 (2 points)Why is it important to stand clear & not touch the person while the AED is analyzing or defribrillating? aYou might prevent the AED from analyzing the heart rhythm properly. bBoth b & c cYou or someone else could be injured by the shock. dThe AED will turn itself off.Question 7 (2 points)If the AED pads risk touching each other such as with a small child or an infant you should: aPlace them as usual. It does not matter if the pads touch each other. bReverse the pads' position on the chest. cPlace on pad in the middle of the chest & the other on the back. dPlace one pad on the stomach & one pad on the chest.Question 8 (2 points)When preparing an AED for use, what is the FIRST thing you should do? aStand clear. bTurn on the AED. cDeliver a shock. dPerform 5 minutes of CPR.Question 9 (2 points)The AED pads should normally be placed on: aThe upper right chest & lower left sides of the chest. bThe upper right & upper left sides of the chest. cThe upper left & lower right sides of the chest. dThe chest & stomach.Question 10 (2 points)If, during the second analysis, the AED prompts "no shock advised," you should: aresume CPR until the AED reanalyzes or you find an obvious sign of life. bcheck the pad placement on the person's chest. creset the AED by turning it off for 10 seconds. dunplug the connector from the machine.

Schools are now required to report anytime an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is utilized in conjunction with a UIL practice and/or competition. True False

What does an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) do?

Select the situation in which you should use a defibrillator. If the patient is breathing abnormally, and there is a defibrillator nearby.1Only when a trained professional is nearby.2When the patient gives you permission.3

40. The purpose of defibrillation is to:Provide electrically stimulated contraction of the heartRecharge the heartTreat symptomatic bradycardiaReset the electrical systems of the heart allowing a normal rhythm a chance to return41. Stridor is a sign of:Pulmonary edemaPneumoniaBronchoconstrictionUpper airway obstruction42.
