ACLS EXAM Which rhythm requires synchronized cardioversion? - CORRECT ANSWER -UNSTABLE supraventricular tachycardia Which action is a component of high-quality chest compressions? - CORRECT ANSWER -Allowing complete chest recoil What is the potential danger of using ties that pass circumferentially around the patients neck when securing an advanced airway? - CORRECT ANSWER -Obstruction of venous return to the brain A monitored patient in the ICU developed a sudden onset of narrow-complex tachycardia at rate of 220/min. The patients blood pressure is 128/58 mmHg, the PETCO2 is 38 mmHg, and the pulse oximetry reading is 98%. There is vascular access at the left internal jugular vein, and the patient has not been given any vasoactive drugs. A 12 lead ECG confirms a supraventricular tachycardia with no evidence of ischemia or infarction. The heart rate has not responded to vagal maneuvers. What is the next recommended intervention? - CORRECT ANSWER -Adenosine for narrow-complex tachycardia regardless of stability What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest compressions during CPR? - CORRECT ANSWER -Continue CPR while charging the defibrillator A patient presents to the emergency department with dizziness and shortness of breath with a sinus bradycardia of 40/min. The initial atropine dose was ineffective and your monitor/defibrillator is not equipped with a transcutaneous pacemaker. What is the appropriate dose of dopamine for this patient? - CORRECT ANSWER -2 to 10 mcg/kg per minute You are receiving a radio report from an EMS team en rout with a patient who may be having an
