You deliver the energy and the patient immediately loses
consciousness. You cannot find a pulse after trying for ten seconds.
The heart monitor still shows a tachyarrhythmia. What is your next
action? - ANSWERS-defibrillate
The patient has pulseless ventricular tachycardia or ventricular
fibrillation. Thus, the first and best intervention is to provide a
defibrillation or unsynchronized shock.
You administer a defibrillation dose (200 J biphasic) to the patient.
What is your next action? - ANSWERS-start CPR
,Provide chest compressions as part of CPR immediately after
providing a shock. This should continue for two minutes without
interruption.
After two minutes of CPR, the patient still has no pulse and the
rhythm is now ventricular fibrillation. What is your next action? -
ANSWERS-deliver 2nd defibrillation at the same dose
For biphasic energy, 200 J is already the maximum dosage level.
Subsequent shocks should be delivered at this same energy. It is too
soon to abort the resuscitation in this woman (and probably too
soon for any patient). She is a young and otherwise healthy woman
who has a relatively high likelihood of regaining spontaneous
circulation.
The man has a pulse, so he needs rescue breathing, not chest
compressions. One ventilation every 5-6 seconds is appropriate in
an adult without an advanced airway in place.
1: The AED device has not yet arrived. You have been delivering
breaths for two minutes, spaced 5-6 seconds apart. He is not
breathing spontaneously. What is your next action? - ANSWERS-
check for a pulse
, you must determine if the victim's situation has deteriorated.
Respiratory arrest may lead to cardiac arrest. Pulse checks should
be done every two minutes in respiratory arrest.
1: You pause rescue breathing to check for a pulse. You cannot feel
a definite pulse after 10 seconds of trying. What is your next action?
- ANSWERS-begin CPR
Since there is no pulse, the man is now in cardiac arrest. He needs
CPR, including chest compressions.
1: You start high-quality CPR at a rate of 100-120 compressions per
minute. The AED arrives moments later. You open the man's shirt to
find a copious amount of thick hair covering his chest and he is
damp with sweat. The AED cannot get a good signal through the
pads because of the hair, even though you have pressed them down
very hard. What is your next action? - ANSWERS-Rip the pads off
the man's chest and apply new pads in the same locations
Chest hair can interfere with electrical contact through the AED
pads. The adhesive on the pads can act as a rapid depilatory (i.e. it
rips the chest hair out). New pads can then be used on the bare
skin.
1: With hair removed and new pads placed, the AED gets a good
signal from the patient. It reports that there is a shockable rhythm.
You clear everyone from the patient, announce the shock, and then
