What ratio of compressions to breaths should be used for 1-rescuer
child CPR? - ANSWER-30 compressions to 2 breaths
A 10-month-old infant boy is brought to the emergency department.
Your initial assessment reveals a lethargic, pale infant with slow
respirations and slow, weak central pulses. One team member begins
ventilation with a bag-mask device with 100% oxygen. A second team
member attaches the monitor/defibrillator and obtains vital signs
while a third team member attempts to establish IV/IO access. The
patient's heart rate is 38/min with rhythm shown here. The infant's
blood pressure is 58/38 mm Hg, and capillary refill is 4 second. His
central pulses remain weak, and distal pulses cannot be palpated.
Chest compressions are started and IO access is obtained. Which
,medication do you anticipate will be given next? - ANSWER-
Epinephrine 0.01 mg/Kg IV/IO
A child becomes unresponsive in the emergency department and is
not breathing. You are uncertain if a faint pulse is present. You shout
for help and provide ventilation with 100% oxygen. The rhythm shown
here is seen on the cardiac monitor. What is your next action? -
ANSWER-Start high-quality CPR
A 1-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department for
evaluation of poor feeding, irritability, and sweating. The child is
lethargic but arousable. He has labored breathing, very rapid pulses,
and a dusky color. His respiratory rate is 68/min, heart rate 300/min,
and blood pressure 70/45 mm Hg. Has weak brachial pulses and
absent radial pulses, a capillary refill for 6 seconds, SpO2 85% on room
air, and good bilateral breath sounds. You administer high-flow oxygen
and pale the child on a cardiac monitor and see the rhythm shown
here. The child has no history of congenital heart disease. IV access
has been established. Which therapy is most appropriate for this
child? - ANSWER-Administer adenosine 0.1 mg/kg IV rapid push
You are caring for a 6-year-old patient
who is receiving positive-pressure
mechanical ventilation via an
endotracheal tube. The child begins to
move his head and suddenly becomes
cyanotic, and his heart rate decreases.
His SpO2 is 65%. You remove the child
, from the mechanical ventilator and
begin to provide manual ventilation with
a bag via the endotracheal tube. During
manual ventilation with 100%
oxygen, the child's color and heart rate improve
slightly and his blood pressure remains
adequate. Breath sounds and chest
expansion is present and adequate on
the right side and are present but
consistently diminished on the left side.
The trachea is not deviated, and the
neck veins are not distended. A suction
catheter passes easily beyond the tip of
the endotracheal tube. Which of the
following is the most likely cause of this
child's acute deterioration? - ANSWER-Tracheal tube displacement
into the right main bronchus
You are giving chest compressions for a child in cardiac arrest. What is
the proper depth of compressions for a child? - ANSWER-Compress
the chest at least one third the depth of the chest, about 2 inches
(5cm)
