  1. What is 'chain of survival' in cardiac arrest management?

    Answer: Early recognition and call for help, early CPR, early defibrillation, early advanced care

    The chain of survival describes four linked actions where each improves survival: early recognition and 999 call, early CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced life support.

  2. How deep should chest compressions be during adult CPR?

    Answer: 5–6 cm

    Compressions must be 5–6 cm deep to adequately circulate blood; too shallow is ineffective and too deep risks injury to the chest and internal organs.

  3. What should a door supervisor do if a customer collapses and is unresponsive with no normal breathing?

    Answer: Start CPR immediately and send someone to get the AED

    An unresponsive person not breathing normally is in cardiac arrest; CPR must be started immediately as each minute without CPR reduces survival by 7–10%; the AED should be retrieved simultaneously.

  4. What is 'agonal breathing' and how should it affect a first aider's decision to start CPR?

    Answer: Infrequent gasping breaths that are not normal breathing; CPR should be started

    Agonal breathing is irregular gasping that may occur in cardiac arrest; it is not normal breathing and should be treated as cardiac arrest, triggering immediate CPR.

  5. What is the correct treatment for a suspected broken limb before the ambulance arrives?

    Answer: Immobilise the limb, apply a cold pack if available and keep the patient still

    Immobilisation prevents further injury; a cold pack reduces swelling; movement of a fractured limb risks further damage, injury to blood vessels and increased pain.

  6. What information should a door supervisor give when calling 999 for a medical emergency?

    Answer: Location, nature of emergency, number of casualties and any treatments given

    Emergency services need the exact location, type of emergency, number of casualties and what first aid has been given to dispatch the right resources and prepare for arrival.
