Which situation BEST describes PEA? - ANS ✓Sinus rhythm without a pulse
What is the best strategy for perfuming high-quality CPR on a pt. With an
advanced airway in place? - ANS ✓Provide continuous chest compressions
without pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one member of your team inserts an
ET tube while another performs continuous chest compressions. During
subsequent ventilation, you notice the presence of a waveform on the
capnography screen and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. What is the significance of
this finding? - ANS ✓Chest compressions may not be effective.
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt.’s does what? - ANS
✓Allows for monitoring CPR quality
For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attempted resuscitation of a pt who
originally presented with V-FIB. After the 1st shock, the ECG screen
displayed asystole which has persisted despite 2 doses of epi, a fluid bolus,

and high quality CPR. What is your next treatment? - ANS ✓Consider
terminating resuscitive efforts after consulting medical control.
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? -
ANS ✓Be sure O2 is NOT blowing over the pt.’s chest during shock.
During your assessment, your pt suddenly loses consciousness. After calling
for help and determining that the pt. is not breathing, you are unsure
whether the pt. has a pulse. What is your next action? - ANS ✓Begin chest
compressions.
What is an advantage of using hands-free d-fib pads instead of d-fib
paddles? - ANS ✓Hands-free allows for more rapid d-fib.
What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest
compressions during CPR? - ANS ✓Continue CPR while charging the
defibrillator.
Which action is included in the BLS survey? - ANS ✓Early defibrillation
Which drug and dose are recommended for the management of a pt. in
refractory V-FIB? - ANS ✓Amioderone 300mg
What is the appropriate interval for an interruption in chest compressions?
- ANS ✓10 seconds or less
