Question
how does cpr differ in an unresponsive adult choking victim?
choose the correct answer
no rescue breaths are given
compression depth is increased
abdominal thrusts are added every 5 cpr cycles
the airway is checked for the obstructing object
When dealing with an unresponsive adult choking victim during CPR, the airway is checked for the obstructing object. Rescue breaths are still part of standard CPR (unless in a situation like this choking - related unresponsiveness where the obstruction is the key issue, but the main differentiator here is checking the airway for the object). Compression depth is standard for adults (about 2 inches or 5 cm) and not increased. Abdominal thrusts are for responsive choking victims.
