CPR and AED

Start with the basics

The CPR note introduces CPR as a first aid technique and describes the roles of chest compressions and rescue breaths. It is a place to begin if you want a short explanation before testing your recall. The resources on this page were made by GoConqr users, so their formats and approaches vary.

Next, the CPR flash cards ask what CPR stands for and what it is used for. They also cover the four R’s of CPR and ask about signs of a heart attack and a stroke. Use the questions to identify terms you want to look at again in the note.

Use maps and quizzes together

The Cardiopulmonary resuscitation mind map presents CPR in a connected format, including oxygenation and circulation. A basic resuscitation mind map starts with first aid and initial care. Looking at a map after the flashcards can help you organize the terms you have encountered.

For question practice, BCERT AED/CPR Quiz includes questions about CPR training and equipment used in cardiac emergencies. Another quiz covers first aid and adult, child and infant CPR and AED. It includes a question about the rate and depth of adult chest compressions. After a quiz, return to a relevant map or card deck to review the ideas behind the questions.
