You are called to help treat Epinephrine
an infant with severe
symptomatic bradycardia
(heart rate 66/min)
associated with respiratory
distress. The bradycardia
persists despite
establishment of an effective
airway, oxygenation, and
ventilation. There is no heart
block present. Which is the
first drug you should
administer?
,Initial impression of a 2yo girl Humidified oxygen as tolerated
shows her to be alert with
mild breathing difficulty
during inspiration and pale
skin color. On primary
assessment, she makes high-
pitched inspiratory sounds
(mild stridor) when agitated;
otherwise, her breathing is
quiet. Her spO2 is 92% on
room air, and she has mild
inspiratory intercostal
retractions. Lung auscultation
reveals transmitted upper
airway sounds with adequate
distal breath sounds
bilaterally. Which is the most
appropriate initial
intervention for this child?
, You are part of a team attempting to resuscitate a Amiodarone 5 mg/kg IO
child with ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest.
You delivered 2 unsynchronized shocks. A team
member established IO access, so you give a dose
of epinephrine, 0.01 mg/kg IO. At the next rhythm
check, persistent ventricular fibrillation is present.
You administer a 4
J/kg shock and resume CPR. Which drug and
dose should be administered next?
Which statement is correct about the effects of Epinephrine stimulates spontaneous
epinephrine during attempted resuscitation? contractions when asystole is present
A previously healthy infant with a history of Administer a bolus of isotonic
vomiting and diarrhea is brought to the crystalloid 20 ml/kg over 5-20 minutes,
emergency department by her parents. During and also give D25W 2-4 ml/kg IV
