ACLS REVIEW
What is the recommended time window after symptom onset for earty fibrinolytic
therapy or direct catheter-based reperfusion for patients with ST-segment elevatio
myocardial infarction and no contraindications?
Within 12 hours
What are the components of high-quality CPR?
- Complete chest recoll after each compression.
-Switching compressors every 2 minutes. (This may be earlier if the compressor is
fatigued. The switch should only take around 5 seconds).
-Compression depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm)
-Interruptions limited to <10 seconds
-Avoiding excessive ventilation
What is the first step in the systematic approach to patient assessment?
Initial impression
How do interruptions in chest compressions negatively impact survival after cardiac
arrest?
Decrease coronary perfusion pressure
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
Which clinical finding represents a contraindication to the administration of
nitroglycerin?
Confirmed right ventricular infarction
, We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
Which are the elements of a system of care?
Structure, processes, system, patient outcome
What is the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) Chain of Survival?
Activation of emergency response
In addition to decreased IHGA, what are some other benefits of implementing a rapid
response system?
Decrease in total hospital length of stay
Decreased ICU length of stay
How quickly does the chance of survival decline for every minute of defibrillation delay
in patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) who do not receive bystander CPR?
7% to 10%
What is an advantage of EMS alerting the receiving facility of the impending arrival of a
patient with suspected acute ischemic stroke?
|The hospital can perform more efficient evaluation and management.
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
What is the door-to-device time goal for direct-arriving patients with acute ischemic
stroke treated with endovascular therapy?
90 minutes
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
Which is the best example of a role of a team member?
Prepared to fulfill their role responsibilities
