Question

during high - quality cpr, when do rescuers typically pause compressions?
select all that apply
when verifying scene safety
when assigning team roles
when checking for responsiveness
when applying the aed pads
when checking pulse
when changing compressors

Explanation:

During high - quality CPR, compressions should be paused minimally. Verifying scene safety is done before starting CPR. Assigning team roles can be done while one person is performing compressions. Checking for responsiveness is done before starting CPR. However, when applying the AED pads (to ensure proper placement and to avoid movement during pad application that could affect the rhythm analysis if done during compressions), when checking pulse (to accurately assess the patient's condition as compressions can interfere with pulse check), and when changing compressors (to ensure smooth transition and maintain compression quality) are times when compressions are typically paused.

Answer:

When applying the AED pads, When checking pulse, When changing compressors.
