What is the BEST strategy for performing high-quality CPR on a patient
with an advanced airway in place? - ANSWERS-Provide continuous
chest compressions without pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
Three minutes after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your
team inserts an endotracheal tube while another performs continuous
chest compressions. During subsequent ventilation, you notice the
presence of a waveform on the capnography screen and a PETCO2 level
of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding? - ANSWERS-Chest
compressions may not be effective
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated patients - ANSWERS-
allows for monitoring of CPR quality
For the past 25 minutes, an EMS crew has attempted resuscitation of a
patient who originally presented in ventricular fibrillation. 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 your
next treatment? - ANSWERS-Consider terminating resuscitative efforts
after consulting medical control.
, Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation
sequence? - ANSWERS-Be sure oxygen is not blowing over the patient's
chest during the shock.
During your assessment, your patient suddenly loses consciousness.
After calling for help and determining that the patient is not breathing,
you are unsure whether the patient has a pulse. What is your next
action? - ANSWERS-Begin chest compressions.
What is an advantage of using hands-free defibrillation pads instead of
defibrillation paddles? - ANSWERS-Hands-free pads allow for a more
rapid defibrillation.
What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest
compressions during CPR? - ANSWERS-Continue CPR while charging the
defibrillator.
Which action is included in the BLS Survey? - ANSWERS-Early
defibrillation
Which drug and dose are recommended for the management of a
patient in refractory ventricular fibrillation? - ANSWERS-Amiodarone
300 mg
