 Q4
Blind mouth sweeps are a big NO! NO! in
CPR/BLS

But every time you give rescue breaths it is

recommended that you look in the mouth
before to see if there is anything obstructing the
airways and if you see anything THEN sweep
with index finger

 AED
• An AED, or automated
external defibrillator, is used
to help those experiencing
sudden cardiac arrest. It's a
sophisticated, yet easy-to-
use, medical device that can
analyze the heart's rhythm
and, if necessary, deliver an
electrical shock, or
defibrillation, to help the
heart re-establish an
effective rhythm.
