True or False? VF and Pulseless VT are shockable rhythms TRUE VF and Pulseless VT represent shockable rhythms. The left side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm should be followed to treat. AHA Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual, p. 94 If the initial shock terminates VF but the arrhythmia recurs later in the resuscitation: A) Deliver subsequent shocks at the maximum energy dose B) Deliver subsequent shocks at the previously successful energy level C) Do not deliver any subsequent shocks and continue CPR D) Begin cardioversion B) Deliver subsequent shocks at the previously successful energy level AHA Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual, p. 96For every minute that passes between collapse and defibrillation, how much does the chance of survival decrease from a witnessed VF sudden cardiac arrest if no bystander CPR is provided? A) 7% to 10% B) 3% to4% C) 25% to 30% D) 50% to 60% A) 7% to 10% For every minute that passes between collapse and defibrillation, the chance of survival from a witnessed VF sudden cardiac arrest declines by 7% to 10% per minute if no bystander CPR is provided. When bystanders perform CPR, the decline is more gradual and averages 3% to 4% per minute. CPR performed early can double or triple survival from sudden cardiac arrest at most defibrillation intervals. AHA Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual, p. 97 Pulse checks should: A) Performed every 50 cycles of CPR B) Be performed during rhythm analysis, only if an organized rhythm is present C) Take at least 15 seconds to ensure accuracy D) Give the rescuer enough information to treat the victimB) Be performed during rhythm analysis, only if an organized rhythm is present Rhythm checks should be performed after 5 cycles of CPR. Limit rhythm checks to less than 10 seconds to minimize interruptions in CPR. Pulse checks should be performed when a rhythm check reveals a change in the rhythm to a rhythm that is organized and could be generating a pulse. AHA Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support Provider Manual, p. 99 What is the first-line antiarrhythmic agent given in cardiac arrest? A) Magnesium sulfate B) Lidocaine C) Epinephrine D) Amiodarone D) Amiodarone
