What should a rescuer do for a victim who has agonal respirations unless the victim has a do not resuscitate order?
Continue or begin CPR. Agonal respirations do not indicate that the victim is breathing on his own. They are also known as the "death rattle".
What should you do if you think you have injured the victim during CPR?
If you suspect that you may have injured the victim during CPR, first ensure the victim's safety and continue to monitor their condition. If you're trained, follow emergency protocols and call for medical assistance immediately. Document any details about the situation and your actions, as this information can be important for medical personnel. Always prioritize the victim's well-being, and remember that the intention of providing CPR is to save a life.
When beginning mouth to mouth respiration you should start with?
When beginning mouth to mouth respiration, you should start by assessing the victim with the ABC's (Airway-tilting the victim's head back to ensure open airway, Breathing-make sure that the victim's chest is going up and down that means the victim is breathing, Circulation- check the victim's pulse) If the victim is not breathing, skip checking the pulse and start CPR. First, give the victim two breaths. Breath in and out when giving the breaths just as you would when you breath regularly. Then, start giving the victim CPR pumps or whatever you call it when you pump the victim's chest. This is all I can tell you- I am a lifeguard and if you want to know all about CPR you need to be properly taught. :)
