, Which intervention or interventions would have the MOST Early CPR and defibrillation
positive impact on the cardiac arrest patient's outcome?
The AED gives "no shock" message to a patient who is in Resume chest compressions
cardiac arrest. You should:
What is the maximum amount of time that should be spent 10 seconds
checking for spontaneous breathing in an unresponsive
child?
When performing CPR on an adult, you should compress 2.0-2.4 in, 100-150BPM
the chest to a depth of ___ at a rate of ___.
What is the appropriate compression to ventilation ratio for 30:2
adult two-rescuer CPR?
When checking for a pulse in an infant, which artery should Brachial
you palpate?
When performing CPR on an adult or child, you should 2
reassess the patient for return of respirations/circulation
every ____ minutes.
What is the preferred method of removing a foreign body in Chest compressions
an unresponsive child?
Cardiogenic shock is caused by: Inadequate function of the heart muscle
Pericardial effusion Collection of fluid between the pericardial sac and the myocardium
Cardiac tamponade Occurs when blood leaks into the space between the pericardium and the
pericardial sac
Signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade: Beck triad: the presence of jugular vein distention, muffled heart sounds, and a
narrowing pulse pressure where the systolic and diastolic blood pressures start to
merge.
Signs of cardiogenic shock: -Skin may be cool, clammy, and ashen
-High BP
-Rapid, shallow breathing
-Weak, irregular pulse
-Anxiety, nausea
You arrive on scene to find a conscious 58YOF sitting up Cardiogenic shock
and reporting severe chest pain and SOB. She is anxious
and "feels like she's going to die." Her skin is pale, cool,
and clammy and her pulse is rapid, weak, and irregular.
Her breathing is labored, with a RR of 28 breaths/min. Her
SpO2 is 90%. Lung sounds show crackles in all fields, and
BP is 92/60 mmHg. What is your differential diagnosis of
the patient?
