Nurse initiating ESO will document - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Life threatening
condition
2. Precipitating factors
3. Specific ESO implemented
4. Patient response
5. When and which physician was notified
ESO are initiated: - CORRECT ANSWER-For life-threatening patient conditions
in the absence of the physician or specific orders
What is the recommended oxygen delivery method for PEA? - CORRECT
ANSWER-O2 at 15L/minute via ambu bag (10 breaths/minute)
What medication is administered for PEA? - CORRECT ANSWER-Epinephrine
1mg IVP/IO (0.1mg/ml), repeat every 3-5 minutes
,What is the next step if hypovolemia is known or suspected in PEA? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Infuse 250 mL NS rapid bolus. Repeat in 5 minutes if no clinical
improvement. If lactated ringers (LR) already infusing, may use LR
What imaging study is recommended for PEA? - CORRECT ANSWER-Stat chest
x-ray (CXR)
What are the criteria for stable ventricular tachycardia? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Patient is conscious with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 90 and does not have
any unstable signs/symptoms.
How should stable ventricular tachycardia be treated? - CORRECT ANSWER-1.
Call physician for orders. 2. Administer oxygen at a minimum of 4L/min and titrate
to patient response. 3. Obtain a 12-lead ECG. 4. Draw serum potassium (K+) and
magnesium (Mg++) levels.
Adequate CPR - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Push hard
2. Full chest recoil
3. Minimize interruptions
4. 100-120 compressions/min
5. 15 L O2 by bag mask (10 breaths per min)
,6. 30:2
ETCO2 monitoring - CORRECT ANSWER-Use to assess quality of CPR and
evaluate return of rosc
How many breaths with advanced airway? - CORRECT ANSWER-1 breath every
6 seconds
Targeted temperature management - CORRECT ANSWER-Should be used on
all patients not following commands or purposeful movement within 120 mins
after ROSC
What is a rapid bolus? - CORRECT ANSWER-Fluids administered in 5-15 mins
Non invasive cardiac monitoring - CORRECT ANSWER-Device that uses
bioreactane to determine cardiac output and is implemented where available by
RRT or ICU RN to determine fluid responsiveness and guide fluid resuscitation
Passive leg raise - CORRECT ANSWER-Position patient flat on their back, and
their legs are elevated to 45 degrees.
, These interventions are instituted for all emergency situations outlined in the ESO
Standardized Procedure: - CORRECT ANSWER-1.
Obtain intravenous (IV)/intraosseous (IO) access
2. Begin IV infusion of normal saline (NS) at keep vein open (KVO). If IV access is
unavailable: Lidocaine, Epinephrine, Atropine, and Naloxone (Narcan) may be
administered via endotracheal route at doses of 2-2 1/2 times the IV dose.
3. If IV access is unavailable, Naloxone (Narcan) may be administered IM at the
same dose as IV administration
4. Flush the IV line with 20mL of NS after each IV medication given and elevate
the extremity if applicable.
5. In applicable situations, obtain oxygen (O2) saturation
6.Monitor and document ETCO2 for code blue events.
7. Titrate oxygen to patients' response.
