PALS Test V QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS.
Fluid bolus during post cardiac arrest care - 5-10 mL/kg over 10-20 minutes
Causes of Secondary Brain Injury - Hyperthermia
Hypotension
Hypoglycemia
Hypoxia
Defibrillation Joules (initial and refractory) - 2J and then if refractory 4J
Temp & timing for Permissive hypothermia post cardiac arrest... how many days of
normothermia after? - 32C-34C (89.6-98.2) for 2 days followed by 3 days of normothermia
4 Spots for IO - proximal tibia
medial malleolus
distal femur
ASIS
How to evaluate alert/awake/responsive? - Appearance, Breathing, Circulation
What should always follow IO? - NS flush 5-10Ml
Chest Compression depth: Infant - 1.5 inch or 4 cm (1/3 AP Diameter)
Chest Compression depth: Child - 2 inches or 5 cm (1/3 AP Diameter)
Maximum Compression depth: Infant - 2.4 in or 6cm
Infant/children/adolescent compression rate - 100-120 compressions a minute
Ratio for single rescuer - 30 compressions 2 breaths
Ratio for 2 rescuer - 15 compressions 2 breaths
Rate of rescue breathing - 1 breath every 6-8 seconds or 8-10 breaths/min
Isotonic Crystalloids 2 examples - NS & Lactated Ringers
Fluid challenge is how much (in hypotension)? - 20mL/kg (18kg gets 260 mL)
BP parameters for PALS (minimum systolic in 4 age groups) - 0-1month old= min 60 systolic
1 month-1 year= min 70 systolic
1 year-10 year= min 70+(2xage) systolic
