What element of a system of care is represented by properly functioning resuscitation equipment? -
correct answer -Structure
What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) chain of survival? - correct answer -
Activation of emergency reponse
What are signs of clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of rapid response system? -
correct answer -Symptomatic hypertension
Seizure
Unexplained agitation
What is the primary purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET)? -
correct answer -To improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration
What happens when teams rapidly assess and intervene when patients have abnormal vital signs? -
correct answer -The number of in hospital cardiac arrest decreases
In addition to decreased IHCA, what are some other benefits of implementing a rapid response system?
Select all that apply. - correct answer -Decrease ICU length of stay.
Decreased in total hospital length of stay.
Which is the main advantage of effective teamwork? - correct answer -Division of tasks
Which is the best example of a role of the team leader? - correct answer -Models excellent team
behavior
,Which is the best example of a role of a team member? - correct answer -Prepared to fulfill their role
responsibilities
What is the primary purpose of the CPR coach on a resuscitation team? - correct answer -Increasing CPR
quality
What are the 6 positions for high performance teams in resuscitation? - correct answer -Team leader
Airway
Timer/recorder
Compressor (rotate every 2 minutes)
Monitor/defibrillator/cpr coach
IV/IO/Medications
Which member of the high performance team has the responsibility for assigning roles (positions)? -
correct answer -Team leader
Which high performance team member is part of the resuscitation triangle? - correct answer -
Monitor/defibrillator/cpr coach
Which is an example of knowledge sharing by a team leader? - correct answer -Asking for suggestions
about interventions
Which is an example of summarizing and reevaluating? - correct answer -Increasing monitoring of the
patients condition deteriorates
Which is a step of closed-loop communication? - correct answer -Confirming task completion before
assigning another task
Which are examples of mutual respect? Select all that apply: - correct answer -Acknowledging correctly
completed tasks in a positive way
Ensuring that only one person talks at a time
, What are the components of high quality CPR? Select all that apply: - correct answer -Compression
depth of at least 2 inches (5cm)
Switching compressors every 2 minutes
Avoiding excessive ventilation
Complete chest recoil after each compression
Interruption limited to under 10 seconds
How do you calculate the chest compression fraction (CCF)? What is ideal percentage? - correct answer -
Divide chest compression time by total code time. You want this at least 60% but ideally greater than
80%
Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use of real-time feedback
devices? - correct answer -Quality
How do you calculate Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP)? - correct answer -Aortic diastolic pressure
"minus" Right Atrial Diastolic Pressure
How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively impact survival after cardiac arrest? - correct
answer -Decrease coronary perfusion pressure
What is the only intervention that can restore an organized rhythm in patients with ventricular
fibrillation (VF)? - correct answer -Early and effective defibrillation
How quickly does the chance of survival decline for every minute of defibrillation delay in patients with
ventricular fibrillation who do receive bystander CPR? - correct answer -7-10%
What is the advantage of a systematic approach to patient assessment? - correct answer -Reduces the
chances of missing important signs and symptoms
What is the first step in the systematic approach to patient assessment? - correct answer -Initial
impression
