ACLS quiz
An 18 yo patient is reporting difficulty breathing and is Respiratory distress
displaying increased respiratory effort. Auscultation reveals
bilateral wheezing; the respiratory rate is 28 breaths per
minute. Oxygen saturations is 91%. PETCO2 is 44 mmHg.
How would you categorize this patient's condition?
A 59 yo patient is reporting difficulty breathing. Physical Respiratory distress
exam reveals nasal flaring, intercostal interaction and use
of accessory muscles. RR is 28 breaths per minute. O2 sat is
92% PTCO2 is 36 mmHg. How would you categorize this
patent's condition?
A 75 yo patient is having difficulty breathing, with increased Respiratory failure
respiratory effort. The patient has history of emphysema.
The patient is drowsy, auscultation reveals bilateral
wheezing, although the lung sounds are difficult to
appreciate. RR is 38/min. O2 sat = 85%, PETCO2= 49mmHg.
How would you categorize this patient's condition?
Among others, which factor has been associated with Immediate high- quality CPR
improved survival in patients with cardiac arrest?
, ACLS quiz
The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for Early CPR and defibrillation
trained healthcare providers. This approach stresses:
Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) equals aortic ---- diastolic
pressure minus right atrial diastolic pressure.
Depending on training and individual circumstances how Intranasally, intravenously, intramuscularly
can rescuers administer naloxone?
During CPR, chest compression fraction (CCF) should be at 60%
least --- and ideally greater than 80%.
During the management of a patient in cardiac arrest, you Establish IV or IO access
have initiated CPR, attached the manual defibrillator,
delivered the first shock, and immediately resumed high
quality CPR, beginning with chest compressions. What is
your next intervention?
During the post-cardiac arrest care period, the 12-lead Coronary angiography
EKG reveals ST-segment elevation myocardial infraction.
Which step has the highest priority?
, ACLS quiz
During the post-cardiac arrest care phase, your team has To determine the need for targeted temperature management
optimized the patient's oxygenation, ventilation, and
hemodynamic status. The patient's 12-lead EKG identifies
St-segment elevation MI, and the patient is being prepped
for transport to the cath lab to undergo coronary
reperfusion therapy. Why is it important to assess the
patient's ability to follow commands?
EKG: during the EKG you note the presence of more P 2nd degree AV block- Type II
waves than QRS complexes. You also note all PR intervals
have a uniform length but random QRS complexes are
dropped. What type of atrioventricular block is most likely
present?
EKG: you note presence of more P waves than QRS 3rd degree Av block
complexes. You also note the absence of a relationship
between P waves and QRS complexes. What type of
atrioventricular block is most likely present?
, ACLS quiz
Evidence suggests that there is a higher likelihood of good 3 hours
to excellent functional outcome when alteplase is given to
adults with an acute ischemic stroke within what time
frame?
Generally speaking, electrical cardioversion is not 150/min
recommended as the initial therapy for patients unless the
heart rate is above
How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively Decrease coronary perfusion pressure
impact survival after cardiac arrest?
How long should the second rescuer squeeze the bag 1 second
mask device when providing 2-rescuer ventilation?
How long should you wait to determine the neurologic 72 hours
prognosis of a patient treated with targeted temperature
management after the patient returns to normothermia?
