cycles or 2 minutes
Which team role keeps track of interruptions in compressions? - ANSWER-timer/recorder
Which team role makes treatment decisions and assigns roles? - ANSWER-team leader
Which of the following are resuscitation triangle roles in a high-performance team? - ANSWER--
AED/Monitor/Defibrillator
-compressor
-airway
While performing high-quality CPR, when do pauses in compressions typically occur? - ANSWER--
intubation
-compressor switches
-defibrillation
-rhythm analysis
-pulse checks
Assesses the patient and provides compressions - ANSWER-compressor
Operates the AED and alternates with the Compressor after every 5 cycles or 2 minutes to avoid
fatigue - ANSWER-monitor/defibrillator
provides ventilation - ANSWER-airway
Assigning your team members to individual roles and outlining what each member needs to do
during the resuscitation attempt is an example of what element of high-performance team
dynamics? - ANSWER-clear roles and responsibilities
, You and your team have initiated compressions and ventilation. The AED was attached, and "no
shock" was advised. Your team has continued CPR for 1 minute. You tell your team in a respectful,
clear, and calm voice, "Leslie, during the next analysis by the AED, I want you and Justin to switch
positions, and I want you to perform compressions for the next cycle." Leslie replies, "Got it. Next
time the AED analyzes, I will switch with Justin and assume the role of Compressor."
This is an example of which element of high-performance team dynamics? - ANSWER-closed-loop
communication
As Team Leader, you notice that your Compressor is pushing too fast. It is important to correct
actions that are incorrect, but it is also important to be tactful when delivering this correction to a
colleague.
This is an example of what element of team dynamics? - ANSWER-constructive intervention
What action can you take as a team during and after a resuscitation attempt that helps individual
team members perform better and brings awareness to system strengths and deficiencies? -
ANSWER-debriefing
AED special considerations - ANSWER-hairy chest, water, transdermal medicine patch, implanted
defibrillator or pacemaker, defibrillation for infants less than 1 year of age
Hairy chest - ANSWER--if your AED has 1 set of pads and a razor, quickly shave the area and then
apply the pads
-if your AED has 2 sets of pads, use the first set to remove the hair. Apply the first set of pads, press
them down so they stick as much as possible, and quickly pull them off. Then apply the new, second
set of pads
Water - ANSWER--if someone is lying in water, quickly move the victim to a dry area; if the victim is
lying is snow or a small puddle, use the AED
-if the chest is covered with water or sweat, wipe the chest before attaching the pads
Transdermal medicine patch - ANSWER--do not place the pad directly over a medicine patch
-take the patch off and quickly wipe the chest before you put on the pad
Implanted defibrillator or pacemaker - ANSWER--if you see a lump indicating a device, avoid placing
the pad directly over it
