Hello, I'm studying for my test after taking the fidsap and I had a lot of failed questions because I wasn't sure whether you should do 2 minutes of compressions or immediately apply an AED.. I know that if you can verify it happened 5 minutes or less to apply an AED because they still have oxygen, but the fisdap questions were a little more tricky than that.. Also if anybody knows of any curveballs they'll try and throw at me the info would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance to all replies ^_^

Follow AHA GUIDELINES for nremt.

2 minutes CPR. That is 5 cycles. Follow that with aed. Immediately begin compressions again
 
Nremt cpr

Do you know if on the written NREMT exam they go ABC or CAB for CPR? Are they following 2010 AHA guidelines? Thanks
 
oh. ok because I have been taking some practice tests that are saying the answers to CPR questions are ABC and not CAB
