What is a common but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management? -
✅✅Prolonged interruption in chest compressions
You are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest pain. The blood pressure is 92/50
mm Hg, the heart rate is 92/min, the nonlabored respiratory rate is 14
breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is 97%. What assessment step is
most important now? - ✅✅Obtaining a 12-lead ECG
What is the preferred method of access for epinephrine administration during
cardiac arrest in most patients? - ✅✅Peripheral intrvenous
An activated AED does not promptly analyze the rhythm. What is your next
action? - ✅✅Begin chest compressions
3 mins after witnessing a cardiac arrest, 1 member inserts an ET tube while
another performs chest compress. During subsequent ventilation, you notice the
presence of a waveform on the capnography screen and a PETCO2 level of 8 mm
Hg. What does this mean? - ✅✅Chest compressions may not be effective
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated patients - ✅✅allows for
monitoring of CPR quality
For 25 minutes, an EMS crew has attempted resuscitation of a pt who presented
in V Fib. After the first shock, the ECG screen displayed asystole, which has
persisted despite 2 doses of epinephrine, a fluid bolus, and high-quality CPR.
, What is next? - ✅✅Consider terminating resuscitative efforts after consulting
medical control
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? -
✅✅Be sure oxygen is not blowing over the patient's chest during the shock
D. Commandingly announce "clear" after you deliver the defibrillation shock.
What is the primary purpose of a medical emergency team (MET) or rapid
response team (RRT)? - ✅✅Identifying and treating early clinical deterioration
Choose an appropriate indication to stop or withhold resuscitative efforts. -
✅✅Evidence of igor mortis
What is the first treatment priority for a patient who achieves ROSC? -
✅✅Optimizing ventilation and oxygenating
What is the minimum systolic blood pressure one should attempt to achieve with
fluid, inotropic, or vasopressor administration in a hypotensive post-cardiac arrest
patient who achieves ROSC? - ✅✅90mm Hg
What is the potential danger of using ties that pass circumferentially around the
patient's neck when securing an advanced airway? - ✅✅Obstruction of venous
return from the brain
What is the most reliable method of confirming and monitoring correct
placement of an endotracheal tube? - ✅✅Continuous waveform capnoraphy
