◍ You find an infant who is unresponsive,is not breathing, and does not have
apulse. You shout for nearby help, but noone arrives. What action should
youtake next?.
Answer: Provide CPR for about 2 minutes before leaving to activate the
emergency response system
◍ You are caring for a 3-year-old withvomiting and diarrhea. You
haveestablished IV access. The child'spulses are palpable but faint, and
thechild is now lethargic. The heart rate isvariable (range, 44/min to
62/min). Youbegin bag-mask ventilation with 100%oxygen. When the heart
rate does notimprove, you begin chestcompressions. The rhythm shown
hereis seen on the cardiac monitor. Whichwould be the most appropriate
therapyto consider next?.
Answer: Atropine 0.02 mg/kg IV
◍ A 7-year-old boy is found unresponsive, apneic, and pulseless. CPR is
ongoing. The child is intubated and vascular access is established. The ECG
monitor reveals an organized rhythm, but a pulse check reveals no palpable
pulses. Effective ventilations and compressions are resumed, and an initial
IV dose of epinephrine is administered. Which of the following therapies
should you perform next?
A. Administer synchronized cardioversion at 1 J/kg
B. Administer epinephrine 0.1 mg/kg IV (0.1 mL/kg of 1:1,000)
C. Attempt defibrillation at 4 J/kg
, D. Attempt to identify and treat reversible causes (using the H's and T's as a
memory aid).
Answer: D
◍ How can rescuers ensure that they areproviding effective breaths when
usinga bag-mask device?.
Answer: Observing the chest rise with each breath
◍ A 4-year-old boy is in pulseless arrest inthe pediatric intensive care unit.
High-quality CPR is in progress. You quicklyreview his chart and find that
hisbaseline-corrected QT interval on a 12-lead ECG is prolonged. The
monitorshows recurrent episodes of the rhythmshown here. The patient has
received 1dose of epinephrine 0.01 mg/kg, but therhythm shown here
continues. If thisrhythm persists at the next rhythmcheck, which medication
would bemost appropriate to administer at thattime?.
Answer: Magnesium sulfate 25 to 50 mg/kg IV
◍ A 4-year-old male is in pulseless arrest in the pediatric intensive care unit. A
code is in progress. As the on-call physician you quickly review his chart
and find that his baseline corrected QT interval on a 12-lead ECG is
prolonged. A glance at the monitor shows recurrect episodes of the above
rhythm. The boy has received one dose of epi, but continues to demonstrate
the rhythm illustrated above (Torsades de Pointes). If this rhythm persists at
the next rhythm check, which medication would be the most appropriate to
administer at this time?
A. Lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV
B. Adenosine 0.1 mg/kg IV
C. Epinephrine 0.1 mg/kg (1:1000)
D. Magnesium sulfate 25 to 50 mg/kg IV.
Answer: D
◍ Initial impression of a 2yo girl shows her to be alert with mild breathing
difficulty during inspiration and pale skin color. On primary assessment, she
makes high-pitched inspiratory sounds (mild stridor) when agitated;
otherwise, her breathing is quiet. Her spO2 is 92% on room air, and she has
