1. Which type of atrioventricular block best describes this rhythm?
Second degree type II
Q: How can a healthcare provider objectively evaluate the effectiveness of chest
compressions once a patient has been intubated? ✔️✔️
A: Monitor Continuous Waveform Capnography PETCOS 12A reading below
10 mmHg indicates that CPR quality needs improvement, while a sudden,
significant increase (typically to 35–45 mmHg) is often the first sign of ROSC.
Q: What is the most suitable destination for an EMS unit transporting a patient
who successfully achieved ROSC after a cardiac arrest? ✔️✔️
A: A Coronary Reperfusion-Capable Medical Center. These specialized
facilities offer 24/7 access to a catheterization lab (PCI) and targeted temperature
management, which are essential for post-arrest stabilization and neurological
recovery.
Q: In an unconscious individual, which specific breathing pattern should be treated
as a definitive sign of cardiac arrest? ✔️✔️
, A: Agonal gasps. These labored, snoring, or "fish-out-of-water" breaths are not
effective ventilation; they are a brainstem reflex occurring in the early stages of
death and require the immediate start of CPR.
5. Which type of atrioventricular block best describes this rhythm?
Second-degroe atrioventricular block type I
6 To property ventlate a patient with a perfusing rhythm, how often do you squeeze
the bag?
Once avery 5 to 6 seconds
7 In addition to clinical assessment, which is the most reliable method to confirm
and monitor correct placement of an andotracheal tube?
Continuous waveform capnography
8. You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke whose symptoms started 2
hours ago. The CT scan was normal, with no signs of hemorrhage. The patient
does not have any contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy. Which treatment
approach is best for this patient?
Start fibrinolytic therapy as soon as possible
