I'm Dr. Huang, and I'll be leading the code.
What should Dr. Huang instruct the team to do first? -
....ANSWER...Attach the cardiac monitor/defibrillator.

What should Dr. Huang do next? - ....ANSWER...ask for
a pulse check

commands. Reperfusion therapy to address ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction is not a contraindication to
targeted temperature management.
Causes of ventricular fibrillation -
....ANSWER...electrocution, myocardial ischemia or
infarction, shock, stimulant overdose and ventricular
tachycardia
If the pre-arrest 12-lead ECG shows anterior wall
myocardial infarction - ....ANSWER...cardiac arrest is
most likely due to a contractility issue
what should be done after ROSC achieved from MI tmt? -
....ANSWER...a 12-lead ECG should be obtained to guide
therapy, and inotropic support may be needed to
address cardiogenic shock
2
, What is the initial rhythm in one-third to one-half of
patients with cardiac arrest caused by pulmonary
embolism? - ....ANSWER...PEA
What a useful tool for recognizing several underlying
causes of cardiac arrest, including pulmonary embolism,
tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade and
hypovolemia? - ....ANSWER...Ultrasonography
Luciana Hernandez, RN, is giving Mr. Baker his morning
medications when suddenly Mr. Baker appears to lose
consciousness. What should Luciana do next? -
....ANSWER...Assess Mr. Baker for responsiveness,
