/.what should be done to minimize interruptions in chest compressions during
CPR?
continue CPR while the defibrillator is charging
/.what condition is an indication to stop of withhold resuscitative efforts?
safety to threat providers?
/.After verifying the absence of a pulse, you initiate CPR with adequate bag-mask
ventilation. The patient's lead II ECG appears below. What is your next action?
IV or IO access
/.After verifying unresponsiveness and abnormal breathing, you activate the
emergency response team. What is your next action?
check for a pulse
/.what is the recommendation on the use of cricoid pressure to prevent aspiration
during cardiac arrest?
not recommended for routine use?
/.What survival advantages does CPR provide to a patient in ventricular
fibrillation?
produces a small amount of blood flow to the heart
/.what is the recommended compression rate for performing CPR?
at least 100 per minute
, /.EMS personnel arrive to find a patient in cardiac arrest. Bystanders are
performing CPR. After attaching a cardiac monitor, the responder observes the
following rhythm strip. What is the most important early intervention?
defibrillation
/.a patient remains in ventricular fibrillation despite 1 shock and 2 minutes of
continuous CPR. the next intervention is to:
administer a second shock

intravenous access during the attempted resuscitation of a patient in cardiac
arrest?
antecubital vein

with refractory ventricular fibrillation?
