Properly functioning resuscitation equipment represents that element of a system of care? -
ANSStructure
Among others which of the following factors has been associated with improved survival in
patients with cardiac arrest? - ANSImmediate high quality CPR
What is the first link in the out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) Chain of Survival? -
ANSActivation of emergency response
The purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) is to -
ANSimprove patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration.
Components of a rapid response system: - ANSEvent detection and response triggering arm
A plant response such an RRT or MET
Quality monitoring
Administrative support
Criteria for RRT - ANSAirway compromise
Respiratory rate less than six per minute or more than 30 per minute
, Heart rate less than 40 per minute or greater than 140 per minute
Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm HG
Symptomatic hypertension
Unexpended decrease in level of consciousness
Unexplained agitation
Seizure
Significant decrease in urine output
Clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of a rapid response system -
ANSSymptomatic hypertension
Seizure
Unexplained agitation
IHCA - ANSIn hospital cardiac arrest
Benefits of implementing a rapid response system - ANSDecreased in hospital cardiac arrest
IHCA
Decreased ICU length of stay
Decrease in total hospital length of stay
Whenever compressions are paused - ANSCompressor should hover over the chest (not
touching it) and be prepared for his integration
Before passing compressions - ANS15 seconds before passing through fashion at the end of
each two minute cycle high-performance teams should check for a pulse, recharge the
defibrillator, if he supposed to deliver a shock in 10 seconds or less
Switch compressors every - ANSSwitching between cycles every two minutes is best
Real time feedback devices - ANSHis best practice to use real time feedback devices during
CPR such as a metronome, or metronome app on your mobile device
Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use of real time
feedback Devices? - ANSQuality
Main advantage of effective teamwork? - ANSDivision of tasks
CPR Coach - ANSSupports performance of high-quality BLS skills allowing the team leader to
focus on other aspects of clinical care
Which is the best example of a role of the team leader - ANSExcellent team behavior
What is the best example of a role of a team member? - ANSPrepared to fulfill their role
responsibilities
