When performing chest compressions on a patient suspected of cardiac arrest, these should be over the sternum, in the centre of the chest roughly between the two nipples, pushing to a depth of 4cm.
Cardiac filling is also referred to as diastole, which is the period of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes and fills with blood.
Cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs, which are specialized structures that help with communication and coordination of muscle contractions in the heart.
The five stages of fossilization are: burial, decay, mineralization, compression, and exposure. In burial, the organism is covered by sediment. Decay involves the breakdown of organic material. Mineralization is where minerals seep into the remains and harden them. Compression is when layers of sediment build up and press down on the remains. Exposure is when the fossil is uncovered and revealed on the surface.
No, defibrillation is not effective for treating asystole during cardiac arrest.

In adult CPR, cardiac compressions should be performed approximately 2 finger widths above the xiphoid. For children, it should be performed on a line drawn between the nipples.
For compression depth, press down 1 1/2 to 2 inches.

the interlocking motion is good because it centers the motion when you are doing the compressions
