In a high-performance Basic Life Support (BLS) team, the roles typically filled by team members include:

  1. Compressor: Responsible for performing chest compressions to maintain circulation.

  2. AED Operator: Manages the Automated External Defibrillator, including attaching pads and delivering shocks as needed.

  3. Airway Manager/Ventilator: Ensures the airway is open and may provide ventilation support using a bag-valve mask.

  4. Team Leader: Coordinates the actions of the team, makes decisions, and ensures effective communication.

Explanation for each option:

  • Compressor: Essential for maintaining blood flow during cardiac arrest. Correct role.

  • AED Operator: Critical for delivering defibrillation to restore heart rhythm. Correct role.

  • Airway Manager/Ventilator: Important for ensuring adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Correct role.

  • Team Leader: Guides the team and ensures efficient operation. Correct role.

  • Environmental Technologist: Not typically a role in a BLS team. Incorrect role.

  • Communications Specialist: While communication is important, this specific role is not standard in a BLS team. Incorrect role.

In summary, the correct roles in a high-performance BLS team are Compressor, AED Operator, Airway Manager/Ventilator, and Team Leader.
