1. Atrial Flutter:
2. Pulseless Electrical Activity:
3. Sinus Bradycardia:
4. Sinus Tachycardia: A pt. with *regular* narrow-complex QRS at a rate >150bpm
in which vagal maneuvers are ineffective should be given 6mg adenosine IV
Synchronized cardioversion is indicated if the pt. is hypotensive, AMS, shock,
ischemic CP, or acute HF
5. Sinus Bradycardia: Sinus bradycardia can be treated with atropine at an initial
dose of 0.5mg
*Not ALL cases of sinus brady needed to be treated with atropine! If pt. is sympto-
matic (chest pain, SOB) it requires treatment.
6. Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia:
7. Second Degree Heart Block (Mobitz II):
8. Fine Ventricular Fibrillation: VFib should be treated with defibrillation followed
by 1mg epi if necessary...and of course CPR
9. Agonal Rhythm/Asystole: Asystole is treated with high quality CPR and epi 1mg
or vasopressin 40mg IV/IO
10. Reentry Supraventricular Tachycardia:
11. Reentry Supraventricular Tachycardia:
12. Normal Sinus Rhythm:
13. Second Degree Heart Block (Mobitz I):
14. Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia:
15. Second Degree Heart Block (Mobitz II):
16. Reentry Supraventricular Tachycardia:
17. Third Degree AV Block:
18. Coarse Ventricular Fibrillation:
19. Atrial Fibrillation:
20. Coarse Ventricular Fibrillation:
21. Magnesium is indicated for VF/pulseless VT associated with torsades de
pointes.: Which of the following statements about the use of magnesium in cardiac
arrest is most accurate?
22. Give aspirin 160 to 325 mg chewed immediately.: A patient with ST-segment
elevation MI has ongoing chest discomfort. Fibrinolytic therapy has been ordered.
Heparin 4000 units IV bolus was administered, and a heparin infusion of 1000 units
per hour is being administered. Aspirin was not taken by the patient because he had
a history of gastritis treated 5 years ago. Your next action is to:
23. Start epinephrine 2 to 10 mcg/min.: A patient has sinus bradycardia with
a heart rate of 36/min. Atropine has been administered to a total of 3 mg. A
