What is the rhythm Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
characterized by chaotic
electrical activity in the
heart, often leading to
cardiac arrest?
What rhythm is identified VF with successful defibrillation and resumption of
when there is a successful organized rhythm
defibrillation and
resumption of an
organized rhythm?
What rhythm converts to SVT converting to sinus rhythm after adenosine
sinus rhythm after the administration
administration of
adenosine?
What is the term for a Torsades de pointes
specific type of
polymorphic ventricular
tachycardia associated
with a prolonged QT
interval?
What is the term for a Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
rapid heart rate
originating above the
ventricles?
, What is the term for an Sinus Tachycardia
increased heart rate that
exceeds the normal
range?
What is the term for a Sinus Bradycardia
slower than normal heart
rate?
What is the term for the Asystole
absence of any electrical
activity in the heart?
What is the term for a Wide-Complex Tachycardia
tachycardia with a wide
QRS complex?
What condition describes Pulseless Electrical Activity
the presence of electrical
activity without a
detectable pulse?
What is the least desirable Endotracheal drug administration
route of drug
administration during
resuscitative efforts for
pediatric patients?
Which oxygen delivery Nonrebreathing face mask
system is most effective
for delivering a high
concentration of inspired
oxygen to a child?
In a pediatric emergency Rapid bolus of 20 mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid
case, what is the first
intervention for a 1-year-
old child with a heart rate
of 36/min and weak
central pulses?
