Which intervention or interventions would have the MOST
positive impact on the cardiac arrest patient's outcome?
<<<ANSWER>>>Early CPR and defibrillation
The AED gives "no shock" message to a patient who is in
cardiac arrest. You should: <<<ANSWER>>>Resume
chest compressions
What is the maximum amount of time that should be spent
checking for spontaneous breathing in an unresponsive
child? <<<ANSWER>>>10 seconds
When performing CPR on an adult, you should compress
the chest to a depth of ___ at a rate of ___.
<<<ANSWER>>>2.0-2.4 in, 100-150BPM
What is the appropriate compression to ventilation ratio for
adult two-rescuer CPR? <<<ANSWER>>>30:2
When checking for a pulse in an infant, which artery
should you palpate? <<<ANSWER>>>Brachial
,When performing CPR on an adult or child, you should
reassess the patient for return of respirations/circulation
every ____ minutes. <<<ANSWER>>>2
What is the preferred method of removing a foreign body
in an unresponsive child? <<<ANSWER>>>Chest
compressions
Cardiogenic shock is caused by:
<<<ANSWER>>>Inadequate function of the heart muscle
Pericardial effusion <<<ANSWER>>>Collection of fluid
between the pericardial sac and the myocardium
Cardiac tamponade <<<ANSWER>>>Occurs when blood
leaks into the space between the pericardium and the
pericardial sac
Signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade:
<<<ANSWER>>>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: <<<ANSWER>>>-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
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? <<<ANSWER>>>Cardiogenic shock
The heart is divided down the middle into left and right
sides by the: <<<ANSWER>>>Septum
Which chamber of the heart receives incoming
unoxygenated blood? <<<ANSWER>>>Atrium
Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood?
<<<ANSWER>>>Ventricles
Normal electrical impulses begin in the:
<<<ANSWER>>>Sinoatrial (SA) node
What characteristic allows a cardiac muscle cells to
contract spontaneously without an external stimulus?
<<<ANSWER>>>Automaticity
The sympathetic nervous system acts on the body by:
<<<ANSWER>>>-increasing HR and RR
-constricting blood vessels in the muscles
