Feedback

That’s partly right.

Rescuers become fatigued and less effective after approximately 2 minutes, so if there are enough rescuers the person performing CPR should be changed every 2 minutes and the correct hand position for chest compression is the middle of the lower half of the sternum.

Once the defibrillator has been connected, analysing the rhythm at the earliest opportunity will allow for prompt treatment. When assessing breathing, occasional gasps are commonly seen in the early phases of cardiac arrest.
