You find an unresponsive pt. who is not breathing. After activating the emergency
response system, you determine there is no pulse. What is your next action? - Correct
AnswerStart chest compressions of at least 100 per min.
You are evaluating a 58 year old man with chest pain. The BP is 92/50 and a heart rate
of 92/min, non-labored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min and the pulse O2 is 97%. What
assessment step is most important now? - Correct AnswerObtaining a 12 lead ECG.
Identification of Chest Discomfort Suggestive of Ischemia
What is the preferred method of access for epi administration during cardiac arrest in
most pts? - Correct AnswerPeripheral IV
An AED does not promptly analyze a rythm. What is your next step? - Correct
AnswerBegin chest compressions.
You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead below (PEA)
and the pt. has no pulse. You partner resumes chest compressions and an IV is in
place. What management step is your next priority? - Correct AnswerAdminister 1mg of
epinepherine
During a pause in CPR, you see a narrow complex rythm on the monitor. The pt. has no
pulse. What is the next action? - Correct AnswerResume compressions
What is acommon but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management? - Correct
AnswerProlonged interruptions in chest compressions.
Which action is a componant of high-quality chest comressions? - Correct
AnswerAllowing complete chest recoil
Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricular fibrillation? -
Correct AnswerProviding quality compressions immediately before a defibrillation
attempt.
Which situation BEST describes PEA? - Correct AnswerSinus rythm without a pulse
What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a pt.with an advanced
airway in place? - Correct AnswerProvide continuous chest compressionswithout
pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
, 3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one memeber of your team inserts an ET tube
while another performs continuous chest comressions. During subsequent bentilation,
you notice the presence of a wavefom on the capnogrophy screen and a PETCO2 of 8
mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding? - Correct AnswerChest compressions
may not be effective.
The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt's does what? - Correct
AnswerAllowsfor 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? - Correct AnswerConsider terminating resuscitive efforts after
consulting medical control.
Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence? - Correct
AnswerBe 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? - Correct AnswerBegin chest compressions.
What is an advantage of using hands-free d-fib pads instead of d-fib paddles? - Correct
AnswerHands-free allows for more rapid d-fib.
What action is recommended to help minimize interruptions in chest compressions
during CPR? - Correct AnswerContinue CPR while charging the defibrillator.
Foundational Facts: Resume CPR While Manual Defibrillator is Charging
Which action is included in the BLS survey? - Correct AnswerEarly defibrillation
Which drug and dose are recommended for the management of a pt. in refractory V-
FIB? - Correct AnswerAmiodarone 300mg
What is the appropriate intervalfor an interruption in chest compressions? - Correct
Answer10 seconds or less
Which of the following is a sign of effective CPR? - Correct AnswerPETCO2 = or >
10mm Hg
What is the purpose of a medical emergency team (MET) or rapid response team? -
Correct AnswerImproving patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical
deterioration.
