During subsequent bentilation, you notice the presence of a wavefom on the capnogrophy screen and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding? - Chest compressions may not be effective. The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt's does what? - Allowsfor monitoring CPR quality For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attemptedresuscitation of a pt who originally presented with V-FIB.

After calling for help and determining that the pt. is not breathing, you are unsure whether the pt. has a pulse. What is your next action? - Begin chest compressions. What is an advantage of using hands-free d-fib pads instead of d-fib paddles? - Hands-free allows for more rapid d-fib. What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest compressions during CPR? - Continue CPR while charging the defibrillator.
