Terms in this set (50)
A 5-year-old child with a history of a chronic Airway clearance (e.g., suctioning)
neuromuscular disease is experiencing
respiratory distress. The child is breathing
spontaneously and receiving supplemental
oxygen. Which additional intervention is a
critical component of airway management
for this patient?
A child being cared for in the pediatric Supraventricular tachycardia
telemetry unit suddenly displays the
following ECG waveform. The provider
prepares to intervene because the child is
demonstrating which type of arrhythmia?
A child in cardiac arrest experiences return Hypotension, fever, hyperglycemia
of spontaneous circulation but is exhibiting
signs of post-cardiac arrest syndrome
(PCAS). The PALS resuscitation team
determines that the child is experiencing a
systemic response to ischemia/reperfusion.
The team bases this determination on which
finding(s)?
An 11-year-old soccer player is brought to Albuterol with or without ipratropium bromide
