rate for adult cpr chest compressions - Answer-30 (non advanced airway), continuous
(advanced airway)
/.3 main components of acls - Answer-oxygenation, ventilation, circulation
/.goal after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) - Answer-neurologic preservation
/.depth for quality compressions - Answer-2 inches
/.why do you want to allow for chest recoil? - Answer-allows heart to fill back up with
blood
/.why do you want to minimize interruptions during chest compressions? - Answer-
keeps blood flow to vital organs (<10s)
/.what is the ratio of breaths to compressions without an advanced airway - Answer-30:2
/.how frequent do you give breaths with an advanced airway - Answer-1 breath every 5-
6 seconds (with continuous compressions)
/.acls algorithms - Answer-cardiac arrest, bradycardia, tachycardia
/.determination for if a pt is stable or unstable (2) - Answer-LOC and BP
/.All pts in cardiac arrest are - Answer-unstable
/.cardiac arrest rhythms - Answer-vfib, pulseless vtach, asystole, pea
/.shockable rhythms of cardiac arrest - Answer-vfib and pulseless vtach
/.nonshockable rhythms for cardiac arrest - Answer-asystole and pulseless electrical
activity (pea)
/.bradycardia hr - Answer-<60
/.bradycardia rhythms - Answer-sinus bradycardia, 1st degree av block, 2nd degree av
block (type 1 and 2), 3rd degree av block, junctional, idioventricular
/.symptomatic bradycardia - Answer-hr <60 and hypotension and/or ams
/.what type of energy do we use for unstable bradycardia - Answer-pacing
