ions faster than 120 per minute may not allow for cardiac refill and reduce perfusion.
Chest compressions should be delivered to adults at a depth between 2 to 2.4 inches (5 to 6 cm) because compressions at greater depths may result in injury to vital organs without increasing odds of survival.
Chest compressions should be delivered to children (less than one year old) at a depth of one third the chest, usually about 1.5 to 2 inches (4 to 5 cm).
Rescuers must allow for full chest recoil in between compressions to promote cardiac filling.
Because it is difficult to accurately judge quality of chest compressions, an audiovisual feedback device may be used to optimize delivery of CPR during resuscitation.
Interruptions of chest compressions, including pre- and post-AED shocks should be as short as possible.
Compression to ventilation ratio remains 30:2 for an individual without an advanced airway in place.
Individuals with an advanced airway in place should receive uninterrupted chest compressions with ventilations being delivered at a rate of one every six seconds.
In cardiac arrest, the defibrillator should be used as soon as possible.
Chest compressions should be resumed as soon as a shock is delivered.
Biphasic defibrillators are more effective in terminating life-threatening rhythms and are preferred to older monophasic defibrillators.
Energy settings vary by manufacturer, and the device specific guidelines should be followed.
Standard dose epinephrine (1 mg every 3 to 5 min) is the preferred vasopressor. High dose epinephrine and vasopressin have not been shown to be more effective, and therefore, are not recommended.

As an RN myself, I think this is a good review tool for getting certified and I like the straight forward approach to each section. The sample test questions are good examples.

Good study guide
Good review of ACLS. Except for question 9. Doesn't give a correct answer. The question was what joules a monophysic defibilator gives. All the answers were chest compressions to breaths given. Over all a good study guide.
