,Y0u have c0mpleted 2 min 0f CPR. The ECG m0nit0r displays the lead bel0w (PEA) and
the pt. has n0 pulse. Y0u partner resumes chest c0mpressi0ns and an IV is in place.
What management step is y0ur next pri0rity?
C0rrect Answer: Administer 1mg 0f epinepherine
During a pause in CPR, y0u see a narr0w c0mplex rythm 0n the m0nit0r. The pt. has n0
pulse. What is the next acti0n?
C0rrect Answer: Resume c0mpressi0ns
What is ac0mm0n but s0metimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management?
C0rrect Answer: Pr0l0nged interrupti0ns in chest c0mpressi0ns.
Which acti0n is a c0mp0nant 0f high-quality chest c0mressi0ns?
C0rrect Answer: All0wing c0mplete chest rec0il
Which acti0n increases the chance 0f successful c0nversi0n 0f ventricular fibrillati0n?
C0rrect Answer: Pr0viding quality c0mpressi0ns immediately bef0re a defibrillati0n
attempt.
Which situati0n BEST describes PEA?
C0rrect Answer: Sinus rythm with0ut a pulse
2
, What is the best strategy f0r perf0ming high-quality CPR 0n a pt.with an advanced
airway in place?
C0rrect Answer: Pr0vide c0ntinu0us chest c0mpressi0nswith0ut pauses and 10
ventilati0ns per minute.
3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, 0ne memeber 0f y0ur team inserts an ET tube
while an0ther perf0rms c0ntinu0us chest c0mressi0ns. During subsequent bentilati0n,
y0u n0tice the presence 0f a wavef0m 0n the capn0gr0phy screen and a PETC02 0f 8 mm
Hg. What is the significance 0f this finding?
C0rrect Answer: Chest c0mpressi0ns may n0t be effective.
The use 0f quantitative capn0graphy in intubated pt's d0es what?
C0rrect Answer: All0wsf0r m0nit0ring CPR quality
F0r the past 25 min, EMS crews have attempted resuscitati0n 0f a pt wh0 0riginally
presented with V-FIB. After the 1st sh0ck, the ECG screen displayed asyst0le which
has persisted despite 2 d0ses 0f epi, a fluid b0lus, and high quality CPR. What is y0ur
next treatment?
C0rrect Answer: C0nsider terminating resuscitive eff0rts after c0nsulting medical c0ntr0l.
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillati0n sequence?
C0rrect Answer: Be sure 02 is N0T bl0wing 0ver the pt's chest during sh0ck.
