A patient has been resuscitated from cardiac arrest. During post-ROSC treatment, the patient becomes unresponsive, with the rhythm shown here (VT shown). Which action is indicated next? - ANSWER Give an immediate unsynchronized high-energy shock (defibrillation dose) After initiation of CPR and 1 shock for ventricular fibrillation, this rhythm is present on the rhythm check (vfib shown). A second shock is given, and chest compressions are resumed immediately. An IV is in place, and no drug...

ACLS FINAL EXAM – Questions And Answers Correctly ACTUAL EXAM 2023 A patient with suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is placed on a cardiac monitor. The patient is complaining of dyspnea and is given supplemental oxygen. The provider determines that the oxygen is effective based on which SaO2 level? Correct ans - When a patient presents with potential ACS, the patient should have oxygen administered to maintain an SaO2 of at least 94%. A patient experiences cardiac arrest, and ...
