Upper chambers of the heart - Answer: atria
lower chambers of the heart - Answer: ventricles
The right atrium and right ventricle work together to - Answer: pump blood to the
lungs to be oxygenated
atrium and left ventricle together are responsible for - Answer: moving blood
through the rest of the body
, ACLS Certification
pattern of heart contractions - Answer: top to bottom
valve prevents - Answer: blood from flowing in reverse/backflow
the left ventricle - Answer: pumps oxygenated blood to the body
- largest and the thickest-walled
sinoatrial node or SA node - Answer: atypical muscle fibers at the junction of the
superior vena cava and right atrium; it originates the cardiac rhythm and is
therefore called pacemaker of the heart
atrioventricular node - Answer: A specialized mass of conducting cells located at
the atrioventricular junction in the heart.
between atria and ventricles
Purkinje system - Answer: Specialized muscle cells that carry the electric impulses
through the ventricles
sinus rhythm - Answer: the normal (optimal) heart rhythm arising from the
sinoatrial (SA) node
electrocardiogram (ekg, ecg) - Answer: A recording of the electrical activity of the
heart
, ACLS Certification
First wave in EKG? - Answer: P wave
QRS complex - Answer: ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
T wave - Answer: ventricular repolarization and relaxation
PR interval - Answer: delay of AV node to allow filling of ventricles
initial goal of resuscitation in a patient with cardiac or respiratory arrest - Answer:
return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)
final goal of resuscitation in a patient with cardiac/respiratory arrest - Answer:
circulation with intact neurological function
carotid pulse - Answer: the pulse felt along the large carotid artery on either side
of the neck
If the patient is CONSCIOUS - Answer: use the ACLS Survey instead of the BLS
Survey for initial patient assessment
If the patient is UNCONSCIOUS - Answer: follow the steps of the ACLS Survey after
completing the BLS Survey.
