A newly admitted patient's ECG reveals a wide-complex
tachycardia and the patient has adequate perfusion. Which
initial pharmacologic intervention could be considered for this
arrhythmia if the rhythm is regular and QRS monomorphic? -
ANSWER-Adenosine
The healthcare provider understands that which rhythm is the
most common symptomatic arrhythmia in children? - ANSWER-
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
What is the cardiac rhythm showing on the monitor? (A 3-year-
old boy waiting in the emergency department (ED) to be seen
for a respiratory illness suddenly becomes unresponsive.) -
ANSWER-sinus bradycardia
A 3-year-old boy waiting in the emergency department (ED) to
be seen for a respiratory illness suddenly becomes
unresponsive. - ANSWER-Inadequate perfusion
,2|Page
What is the next immediate action the team should
implement? - ANSWER-Ensure adequate oxygenation and assist
ventilation as needed.
What is the next immediate action that should be taken? -
ANSWER-Perform CPR.
What is the next action, in addition to resuming CPR, to be
implemented? - ANSWER-Administer IV epinephrine.
The team understands that an important part of care for a child
with bradycardia with inadequate perfusion includes which
action? - ANSWER-Identify and treat underlying causes.
Following the pediatric assessment triangle (PAT), record the
findings from the rapid assessment of Noah. - ANSWER-
Appearance normal
WOB abnormal
Circulation Abnormal
Briefly discuss your assessment findings. NOAH - ANSWER-Noah
is alert and acting appropriately, but he is quite diaphoretic and
told Ann that his heart feels like it is beating out of his chest.

These findings indicate abnormal circulation. He is also
congested. Next, we'll move to the primary assessment to find
out more.
Which of the following should be included in the primary
assessment of Noah? - ANSWER-Respiratory Rate
Blood Pressure
Pulse ox
12-lead ECG.
In observing this ECG reading, you note which wave form is not
clearly identifiable? (noah) - ANSWER-P wave
Which arrhythmia does the ECG reading indicate? noah -
ANSWER-Supraventricular Tachycardia
Dr. Lewis arrived and received information from Ann and the
team. Based on her review of the ECG findings and Noah's
current condition, what will Dr. Lewis choose for first line
intervention in this case? - ANSWER-Tell Ann to instruct Noah
to perform a vagal maneuver by instructing him to "bear down"
as if trying to pass a bowel movement for 20 seconds (while the
team prepares for adenosine administration).
, 4|Page
How many mg of adenosine would Dr. Lewis order based on
Noah's weight of 33 kilograms? - ANSWER-3.3 mg IV
After a brief asystole, the rhythm returned to SVT and remains
SVT. Dr. Lewis orders an additional dose of adenosine, Ann
confirms the order and is preparing to give an additional dose
of adenosine. How many mg would Dr. Lewis order based on
Noah's weight of 33 kilograms? - ANSWER-6.6 mg
After the second dose of adenosine, Noah's heart rhythm
showed a brief period of AV block and then went back to SVT,
but he still has adequate perfusion. Dr. Lewis consults with a
pediatric cardiologist who says to proceed with pharmacologic
cardioversion since Noah remains in SVT with adequate
perfusion. What are medications the cardiologist may ask the
team to prepare? - ANSWER-Procainamide
Amiodarone
Just before administering the pharmacological cardioversion,
Ann had re-assessed Noah and verbally reports that Noah is
breathing faster with a respiratory rate of 30, his blood
pressure is now lower at 90/50, he looks dusky (pale) and
