●● When treating an unresponsive patient with a left ventricular assist
device, which of the following is appropriate?
Answer: The potential benefit of chest compressions outweighs the
theoretical risk of device dislodgment.
●● Which of the following accurately describes the recommended
treatment of a pregnant patient in cardiac arrest?
Answer: Use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in
peripartum patients in cardiac arrest not responsive to standard
resuscitation is reasonable.
●● At ROSC, what is the recommened minimum mean arterial pressure
(MAP) that should be maintained to avoid hypotension in adults?
Answer: 65 mm Hg
●● How long is it reasonable to maintain temperature control in adult
patients who remain unresponsive to verbal commands after ROSC?
Answer: 36 hours
,●● What is a goal or purpose of an integrated system of care?
Answer: Using a process for ongoing improvement between system
components and patient outcomes
●● What happends when teams rapidly assess and intervent when
patients have abnormal vital signs?
Answer: The number of in-hospital cardiac arrests decreases
●● What is the first link in the Chain of Survival?
Answer: Activation of emergency response
●● In addition to decreased in-hospital cardiac arrest, what is another
benefit of implementing a rapid response system?
Answer: Decreased ICU length of stay
●● Which measure is an indication of the benefits of having an in-
hospital rapid response system?
Answer: Reduction in the rate of inpatient cardiac arrests
●● The Team Leader must focus on
______________________________________________.
Answer: comprehensive patient care.
,●● What are the 2 most common causes of in-hospital cardiac arrest?
Answer: Respiratory failure and hypovolemic shock
●● What is the primary purpose of the CPR Coach on a resuscitation
team?
Answer: Increasing CPR quality
●● Which member of the high-performance team has the responsibility
for assigning roles (positions)?
Answer: Team Leader
●● What should a high-performance team focus on to improve survival
for patients in cardiac arrest?
Answer: A high chest compression fraction
●● Which high-performance team member is part of the resuscitation
triangle?
Answer: Monitor/Defibrillator/CPR Coach
●● Which is a step of closed-loop communication?
Answer: Confirming task completion before assigning another task
●● What is a key aspect of a cardiac arrest team debriefing?
, Answer: Identifies strengths and deficiencies in the system
●● Which is a key component of high-quality CPR?
Answer: Chest compression rate of 100 to 120/min
●● Which is the best example of a team member role?
Answer: Is prepared to fulfill their role responsibilities
●● What is the correct formula for calculating chest compression
fraction?
Answer: Actual chest compression time / Total code time
●● During a resuscitation attempt, what is a potential outcome of team
members with unclear roles?
Answer: Team members performing the same task more than once
●● Which resuscitation strategy will result in improved chest
compression fraction?
Answer: Continuing compressions while applying defibrillator pads
●● Which best describes the length of time it should take to perform a
pulse check during the BLS assessment?
Answer: 5 to 10 seconds
