Questions & Practice Test
How many chest compressions should you perform in a one minute time frame?
100-120
What type of medical center should you take that patient to, post cardiac arrest in the field?
One with a cath lab, that can perform coronary reperfusion.
what does a 2nd degree AV block type 1 look like?
Weinkebach
You have a patient that's gone into cardiac arrest, you have intubated them. How can we assess
the quality of CPR?
Entitle CO2
team member is about to make a large mistake, what should the other members say
address them immediately
We're doing chest compressions. How long of a break can you take in between?
no longer than 10 seconds
Patient in Respiratory distress, BP 70/50, still alert, EKG showing SVT
Synchronized cardioversion
You're caring for a patient with a suspected stroke. whose symptoms started two hours ago. The
CT scan was normal, with no signs of hemorrhage. The patient does not have any
contraindications to fibolinic therapy. Which treatment option is the best for this patient?
Give them fibrolynic therapy
EKG, with a funky looking rhythm, no pulse, what is the rhythm?
pulseless
Another member of the team is doing chest compressions. You have an IV in place. What do you
want to do?
Give 1mg EPI
All right, you have a team leader that is trying to avoid inefficiencies during a resuscitation
attempt. And the following, which do you think is the most important?
, Delegate the tasks accordingly
What is the recommended 1st iv dose of amioderone for a patient with refractory ventricular
fibrillation?
300mg, 150 for 2nd dose
All right, you look up at your catenographer. And your waveform is showing an entitled CO2
during CPR of eight. What do you need to do?
Improve chest compressions
EKG with 3 different rhythms, what type of AV block?
2nd degree type 2
All right, we defibrillate a patient. What do we do immediately afterwards?
CPR
What should we attempt to do no more than 20 minutes after arrival to the hospital?
Get a CT scan
How to determine the size of OPA?
From corner of mouth to earlobe
A 58 year old man with mild chest discomfort. Blood pressure is 92/5050. Heart rate is 92. Non-
labored respiratory rate is 14. Pulse lock symmetry is 97.
Get an EKG
if you're looking at an EKG strip, they've got a lot of blocks on here. And. You have a discernible
P wave. It does not match the QRS. They are not equaled out. And that's...
3rd degree heart block
What if you are in a code and you are assigned a task that is outside your scope of practice?
What should you do?
Communicate and ask for a new task
Targeted temperature management. What is the recommended duration? At least 24 hours?
at least 24 hours, normally 24-36 hours
What's the minimum systolic blood pressure that you should attempt to achieve with fluid
administration or basoactive drugs in a hypotensive postcardiac arrest patient who achieves
return spontaneous circulation?
