WRITTEN TEST ; AHA ACLS EXAM
Real Exam
3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one memeber of your crew inserts an ET tube even
as some other plays continuous chest comressions. During subsequent bentilation, you note
the presence of a wavefom at the capnogrophy display and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. What is
the significance of this finding? - ANS-Chest compressions might not be effective.
A 49 y/ofmaile arrives within the ER with persistant epigastric pain. She has been taking
antacids PO for the beyond 6 hours due to the fact she she had heartburn. BP is 118/72,
heart fee is ninety two/min, resp. Rate is 14 non-labored and O2 sat is 96%. What is the
most suitable subsequent motion? - ANS-Obtain a 12 lead ECG.
A 49-12 months-antique guy has retrosternal chest ache radiating into the left arm. The
affected person is diaphoretic, with associated shortness of breath. The blood stress is
130/88 mm Hg, the coronary heart charge is a hundred and ten/min, the respiration charge
is 22 breaths/min, and the heart beat oximetry fee is ninety five%. The affected person's
12-lead ECG suggests ST-phase elevation within the anterior leads. First responders
administered a hundred and sixty mg of aspirin, and there's a patent peripheral IV. The ache
is defined as an 8 on a scale of 1 to ten and is unrelieved after 3 doses of nitroglycerin. What
is the next movement? - ANS-Administer 2 to 4 mg of morphine by using sluggish IV bolus
Administer Oxygen and Drugs: Morphine
A fifty six-year-old man reports that he has palpitations but now not chest pain or difficulty
respiration. The blood stress is 132/sixty eight mm Hg, the heartbeat is one hundred
thirty/min and everyday, the breathing price is 12 breaths/min, and the heart beat oximetry
analyzing is 95%. The lead II ECG displays a huge-complex tachycardia. What is the
following action after setting up an IV and acquiring a 12-lead ECG? - ANS-Seeking
professional session.
Application of the Tachycardia Algorithm to the Stable Patient: Wide (Broad)-Complex
Tachycardias
A 62 y/o male pt. Within the ER says his coronary heart is beating fast. No chest ache or
SOB. BP is 142/ninety eight, pulse rate is 200/min, reps price is 14/min, O2 sats are 95 at
room air. What ought to be the following assessment? - ANS-Obtain a 12 lead ECG.
A 68 y/o girl pt. Skilled a surprising onset of right arm weak spot. BP is 140/90, pulse is
78/min, resp fee is non-worked 14/min, 02 sat is ninety seven%. Lead 2 in the ECG indicates
a sinus rythm. What would be your subsequent action? - ANS-Cinncinati Stroke Scale
A monitored pt. Inside the ICU developed a suddent onset of narrow complicated tach at a
fee of 220/min. The pt's BP is 128/58, the PETCO2 is 38mm Hg, and the O2 sat is 98%.
, There is an EJ established for vascular get right of entry to. The pt. Denies taking any
vasodialators. A 12 lead indicates no ischemia or infarction. Vagal manuevers are ineffective.
What is the next intervention? - ANS-Adenosine 12mg IV
A patient in respiration distress and with a blood stress of 70/50 mm Hg provides with the
lead II ECG rhythm above. What is the correct next intervention?
(Wide, regular Tachycardia with a Pulse) - ANS-Synchronized cardioversion
Indications for Cardioversion
A patient remains in ventricular fibrillation regardless of 1 shock and a couple of minutes of
non-stop CPR. The subsequent intervention is to - ANS-Administer a second surprise
The Cardiac Arrest Algorithm
A patient with pulseless ventricular tachycardia is defibrillated. What is the following
movement? - ANS-Start chest compressions at a rate of as a minimum one hundred/min.
Resume CPR
A postoperative patient in the ICU reviews new chest pain. What actions have the highest
precedence? - ANS-Obtain a 12-lead ECG and administer aspirin if now not contraindicated.
EMS Assessment, Care, and Hospital Preparation
A pt. Has an onset of dizziness. The pt.S heart charge is a hundred and eighty, BP is 110/70,
resp. Fee is eighteen, O2 sat is ninety eight%. This is a reg slim complex tach rythm. What is
the following intervention? - ANS-Vagal manuever.
A pt. In breathing failure becomes apneic but contineues to have a strong pulse. The heart
fee is dropping paridly and now suggests a sinus brady price at 30/min. What intervention
has the best precedence? - ANS-Simple airway manuevers and assisted ventilations.
A pt. Gives to the ER with a new onset of dizziness and fatugue. Onexamination, the pt's
heart price is 35 beats/min, BP is 70/50, resp. Charge is 22 per min, O2 sat is 95%. What is
an appropriate 1st medicine? - ANS-Atropine zero.5mg
A pt. Gives to the ER with dizziness and SOB with a sinus brady of 40/min. The initial
atropine dose became ineffective and your screen does now not provide TCP. What is the
right dose of Dopamine for this pt? - ANS-2-10mcg/kg/min
A responder is worrying for a patient with a records of CHF. The patient is experiencing
SOB, BP of sixty eight/50 mm Hg, and a HR of one hundred ninety/min. The patient's lead II
ECG is displayed above. Which of the following terms high-quality describes this patient? -
ANS-Unstable supraventricular tachycardia
