4. Asystole
5. Wide-complex tachycardia
6. Ventricular fibrillation with successful defibrillation
and resumption of organized rhythm
7. Sinus bradycardia
8. Pulseless electrical activity
9. Torsades de pointes
10. Ventricular fibrillation
11. Wide-complex tachycardia
12. SVT converting to sinus rhythm after adenosine ad-
ministration
13. Normal sinus
14. In asystole, what is the effect of epi? stimulate spon-
taneous contrac-
tions
15. Routine administration of calcium chloride (is/is not) is not
indicated in pediatric patients during cardiac arrest
16. A 9-year-old boy is agitated and leaning forward on albuterol
the bed in obvious respiratory distress. The patient is
speaking in short phrases and tells you that he has

asthma but does not carry an inhaler. He has nasal
flaring, severe suprasternal and intercostal retrac-
tions, and decreased air movement with prolonged
expiratory time and wheezing. You administer 100%
oxygen by a nonrebreathing mask. His SpO2 is 92%.
What medication do you prepare to give to this pa-
tient?
17. You are part of a team attempting to resuscitate a child amiodarone
with vfib cardiac arrest. You delivered 2 unsynchro- 5mg/kg IO
nized shocks. A team member established IO access,
so you give a dose of epi, 0.01mg/kg IO. At the next
rhythm check, persistent vfib is present. You adminis-
ter a 4 J/kg shock and resume CPR. What should be
administered next?
18. What oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers nonrebreathing
a high (e90%) concentration of inspired oxygen to a face mask
7-year-old child?
19. ET drug administration during resuscitative efforts for least
pediatric patients is the (least/most) desirable route of
administration.
20. You are called to help treat an infant with severe symp- epi
tomatic bradycardia (HR 66 bpm) associated with res-
piratory distress. The bradycardia persists despite es-
tablishment of an effective airway, oxygenation, and
ventilation. There is no heart block present. What is
the 1st drug you should administer?
21. Paramedics are called to the home of a 1-year-old rapid bolus of
child. Their initial assessment reveals a child who 20mL/kg of isoton-
responds only to painful stimuli and has irreg- ic crystalloid
ular breathing, faint central pulses, bruises over
the abdomen, abdominal distention, and cyanosis.
Bag-mask ventilation with 100% oxygen is initiated.
The child's HR is 36 bpm. Peripheral pulses cannot be
palpated, and central pulses are barely palpable. The
cardiac monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-res-
