What is the correct technique for performing left uterine
displacement (LUD) for
a pregnant patient in cardiac arrest whose fundus is at or above
the umbilicus?
Position yourself at the patient's feet. Place both hands
underneath the uterus and push the uterus to the left and up.
Position yourself on the patient's left side. Reach across the
patient, place both hands on the right side of the uterus and
pull the uterus to the left and up.
Position yourself at the patient's head. Reach down and over
the patient, place both hands to each side of the uterus, and
pull the uterus to the left and up. Position yourself at the
patient's feet. Reach up and over the patient, place both hands
on the fundus and pull the uterus to the left and down. –
ANSWER-Position yourself on the patient's left side. Reach
across the patient, place both hands on the right side of the
uterus and pull the uterus to the left and up.
,To provide left uterine displacement from the patient's left side,
reach across the
patient, place both hands on the right side of the uterus and
pull the uterus to
the left and up. Alternatively, to provide left uterine
displacement from the
patient's right side, place both hands on the right side of the
uterus and push
the uterus to the left
and up.
Which statements accurately reflect the recommendations
for post-cardiac
arrest
neuroprognostication?
Brain imaging studies do not provide useful information for
predicting neurologic outcome in the post-cardiac arrest
patient.
Status epilepticus can be used to accurately predict a poor
neurologic outcome.
Post-cardiac arrest neuroprognostication should be
multimodal.
Decision-making related to the continuation or withdrawal of
life-sustaining treatments should be delayed until 72 hours
,after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and following
return to normothermia. - ANSWER-Postcardiac arrest
neuroprognostication should be multimodal.
Decision-making related to the continuation or withdrawal of
life-sustaining
treatments should be delayed until 72 hours after return
of spontaneous
circulation (ROSC) and following return to
normothermia.
A patient with bradycardia and signs of hemodynamic
compromise does not respond to atropine. Which interventions
could the healthcare provider use next?
Transcutaneous pacing
Carotid massage
Epinephrine or dopamine infusion
Synchronized cardioversion - ANSWER-
Transcutaneous pacing
Epinephrine or dopamine
infusion
, Second-line therapies for symptomatic bradycardia include
transcutaneous
pacing or an epinephrine or dopamine
infusion.
A patient's ECG reveals a narrow QRS complex with a
regular rhythm,
indicating a narrow-complex supraventricular
tachyarrhythmia. The patient is
not showing signs of hemodynamic compromise. Which
intervention would be
initiated first if it does not delay other
interventions?
Synchronized
cardioversion
Adenosine
administration
Vagal
maneuvers
Sedation - ANSWER-Vagal
maneuvers
