Which statement best describes the CPR Coach's function on the resuscitation team?

• A. Improve CPR quality
• B. Administer medications
• C. Interpret EKG
• D. Manage the airway

Answer: (B)

The CPR Coach’s job is to optimize the CPR being delivered by the team. They actively guide the resuscitation, providing real-time feedback on the quality of chest compressions—speed, depth, full chest recoil—and on ventilation, while coordinating the team to minimize pauses and keep the workflow efficient. This role centers on improving how CPR is performed, using cues and sometimes feedback devices to correct technique as the resuscitation unfolds. Medications, rhythm interpretation, and airway management are typically handled by other members of the team with those specific responsibilities. That makes the CPR Coach’s primary function improving CPR quality.
