You are the team leader during a pediatric resuscitation attempt. which action is
an element of high quality CPR?
blood pressure
You are caring for a 3 month old boy with a 2 day history of fever, vomiting and
diarrhea. His parents state that he has been sleeping much more. His HR is
190/min, temp is 38.3 degrees C (101 F) blood pressure is 59/29 mmHg, Resp rate
is 70/min and shallow, and oxygen sat is 94% on 100% oxygen. His capillary refills
time is 4-5 seconds, and he has mottled, cool extremities. The infant weighs 6 Kg.
Which assessment finding indicates that the infant is in hypotensive shock?
hypovolemic shock
After rectal administration of diazepam, an 8 year old boy with a history of
seizures is no unresponsive to painful stimuli. His respirations are shallow, at a rate
of 10/min. His Oxygen saturation is 94% on 2L of NC oxygen. On examination, the
child is snoring with poor chest rise and poor air entry bilaterally. After
repositioning the patient and you insert an Oral airway, the patient continues to
deteriorate. What next step is the most appropriate?
15:2
A 6 year old child is found unresponsive, not breathing, and without a pulse. one
health care worker leaves to activate the emergency response system and get the
resuscitation equipment. You and another healthcare provider immediatly begin
CPR. Which compression to ventilation ratio do you use?
94%-99%
, 2
In post resuscitation management after cardiac arrest, extra care should be taken
to avoid repercussion injury. what should the ideal oxygen saturation range most
likely be?
"resume compressions"
A 3 year old child is in cardiac arrest, and high quality CPR is in progress. You are
the team leader. The first rhythm check reveals the rhythm shown here.
Defibrillation is attempted with a shock dose of 2 J/kg. after administration of the
shock, what should you say to you team members?
2-4 J/kg
A 4 year old child in cardiac arrest is brought to the emergency department by
ambulance. High quality CPR is being performed. The cardiac monitor displays the
rhythm strip shown here. The estimated weight of the child is 20 kg. What dose
range should you use for the initial defibrillation?
40 Joules
A 4 year old child in cardiac arrest is brought to the emergency department by
ambulance. High quality CPR is being performed. The cardiac monitor displays the
rhythm strip shown here. The estimated weight of the child is 20 kg. As the team
leader, how many joules do you tell your team member to use to perform initial
Defib?
Allowing complete chest wall recoil after each compression
