Where should the needle be inserted for proper needle
decompression? - ANSWER-Right side of the chest, over the
third rib (second intercostal space) in the midclavicular line
Needle decompression is performed on the patient. As the
needle is inserted, there is a rush of air coming from the hub of
the needle. Vital signs are reassessed and are now Hr 134/min,
BP 70/40 mm Hg and SpO2 82%. The patient still has labored
breathing. Her SpO2 does not go above 82%; lung sounds are
more present but are still diminished on the right side.
Which of the following interventions is the most
incorporate to do next? -
ANSWER-Performs a thoracostomy for chest
tube placement
,After the chest tube is inserted, the patient's breathing and
oxygenation are improved. Her vital signs are HR 98/min, BP
108/72 mm Hg, RR 18/min, SpO2 98%.
How should proper chest tube placement be confirmed? -
ANSWER-Obtain a
chest x-
ray
What is a FIRST-degree atrioventricular block - ANSWER-A
prolonged PR interval representing slowed conduction through
the atrioventricular node
Why do children with cardiac tamponade improve temporarily
with fluid administration? - ANSWER-Fluids augment cardiac
and tissue perfusion until pericardial drainage can be

What is the initial dose of epinephrine in the treatment
of symptomatic
bradycardia? - ANSWER-0.01
mg/kg IV/IO

not be considered problematic? - ANSWER--A healthy child
who is sleeping
This is due to reduced metabolic demand
-A well-conditioned athlete
This is due to high stroke volume and increased vagal tone
What is the IV/IO dose of atropine for pediatric bradycardia? -
ANSWER-0.02
mg/kg
What should your next steps be? - ANSWER--Maintains a
patent airway -Apply cardiac monitor to identify rhythm and
monitor pulse, blood pressure, and oximetry
-Complete the initial and primary assessment
During the initial assessment, you find that the infant is
unresponsive and has
an HR of less than
60/min.
What should be your next action? - ANSWER-Begin CPR
