A 44-year-old man reports dizziness and lightheadness. His BP is
88/26 mm Hg, his heart rate is 190 beats per minute and weak.
His skin is cool clammy and pale. Why is his BP low? - CORRECT
ANSWER - >decreased ventricular timing
Switching compressors during two-rescuer CPR: - CORRECT
ANSWER - >should occur every two minutes throughout the
arrest
Stable angina - CORRECT ANSWER - >chest pain that occurs
when a person is active or under severe stress
Unstable angina - CORRECT ANSWER - >chest pain that occurs
while a person is at rest and not exerting himself
What occurs during recoil of the chest inbetween compressions
- CORRECT ANSWER - >a vacuum is created and blood returns
to the heart
A group of symptoms caused by myocardial ischemia; includes
angina and myocardial infarction - CORRECT ANSWER - >acute
coronary syndrome
A heart attack; death of the heart muscle following obstruction
of blood flow to it; in this context the attack is "new" or
, "happening right now" - CORRECT ANSWER - >acute myocardial
infarction (AMI)
Transient (short-lived) chest discomfort caused by partial or
temporary blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle; also
called angina - CORRECT ANSWER - >angina pectoris
a weakness in the wall of the aorta that makes it susceptible to
rupture - CORRECT ANSWER - >aortic aneurism
the one way valve that lies between the left ventricle and the
aorta keeps blood from flowing back into the left ventricle after
the left ventricle ejects its blood into the aorta; one of the four
heart valves - CORRECT ANSWER - >aortic valve
a tracing on an ECG that is the result of interference, such as
patient movement, rather than the heart's electrical activity -
CORRECT ANSWER - >artifact
the complete absence of all heart electrical activity - CORRECT
ANSWER - >asystole
the ability of cardiac muscle cells to contract without
stimulation from the nervous system - CORRECT ANSWER -
>automatically
when the heart fails to generate effective and detectable blood
flow; pulses are not palpable, even if muscular and electrical
