compression to breath ratio children with 1 rescuer - (ANSWER)30:2
2 rescuer compression to breath ratio? - (ANSWER)15:2
Initial impression of a 2-year old girl shows her to be alert with mild breathing
difficulty during inspiration and pale skin color. On primary assessment, she
makes high pitched inspiratory sound (mild stridor) when agitated; otherwise,
intercoastal retractions. Lung auscultation reveals transmitted upper airway
sounds with adequate distal breath sounds bilaterally. Which is the most
appropriate initial intervention for this child? - (ANSWER)humidified oxygen as
tolerated
Which statement is correct about use of calcium chloride in pediatric? -
(ANSWER)Routine administration is not indicated during cardiac arrest
Which statement is correct about endotracheal drug administration during
resuscitative efforts for pediatric patients? - (ANSWER)It is the least desirable
route of administration
You are a part of a team attempting to resuscitate a child with ventricular
fibrillation cardiac arrest. You delivered 2 unsynchronized shocks. A team member
established IO access, so you give a dose of epinephrine, 0.01 mg/kg IO. At the
next rhythm check, persistent ventricular fibrillation is present. You administer a
, 4-J/kg shock and resume CPR. Which drug and dose should be administered next?
- (ANSWER)Amiodarone 5 mg/kg
You are called to help treat an infant with severe symptomatic bradycardia (HR
66/min) associated with respiratory distress. The bradycardia persists despite
establishment of an effective airway, oxygenation, and ventilation. There is no
heart block present. Which is the first drug you should administer? -
(ANSWER)Epinephrine
Which statement is correct about the effects of epinephrine during attempted
resuscitation? - (ANSWER)Epinephrine stimulates spontaneous contractions
when asystole is present
Paramedics are called to the home of a 1yo child. Their initial assessment reveals
a child who responds only to painful stimuli and has irregular breathing, faint
central pulses, bruises over the abdomen, abdominal distention, and cyanosis.
Bag-mask ventilation with 100% oxygen is initiated. The child's heart rate is
36/min. Peripheral pulses cannot be palpated, and central pulses are barely
palpable. The cardiac monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-rescuer CPR is
started. Upon arrival to the emergency department, the child is intubated and
ventilated with 100% oxygen, and IV access is established. The heart rate is now
150/min with weak central pulses but no distal pulses. Systolic blood pressure is
74 mmHg. Which intervention should be provided next? - (ANSWER)Rapid bolus
of 20 ml/kg of isotonic crystalloid
A 9-year old boy is agitated and leaning forward on the bed in obvious respiratory
distress. The patient is speaking in short phrases and tells you that he has asthma
but does not carry an inhaler. He has nasal flaring, severe suprasternal and
intercoastal retractions, and decreased air movement with prolonged expiratory
