Question
Answer
What rhythms require unsynchronized high-energy shocks?   show
🗑
Which rhythms are not shockable?   show
🗑
An adult collapses from cardiac arrest. What do you do?   show
🗑
show . Start CPR, Give oxygen, Attach monitor/defibrillator  
🗑
show Deliver shock  
🗑
Give an example of how the person delivering the shock should alert team members.   show
🗑
One shock has been delivered. No ROSC. What’s next?   show
🗑
Two shocks have been delivered without return of ROSC. What’s next?   show
🗑
show <10mm Hg – attempt to improve CPR quality; 35-40mm Hg – target range; > 40 mm Hg sustained indicates ROSC  
🗑
At what rate should breaths be delivered to the patient with an advanced airway and compressions in progress?   show
🗑
show Check Rhythm. Deliver shock if indicated.  
🗑
show Administer Amiodarone 300mg bolus followed by 20ml flush. Look for and treat reversible causes  
🗑
show 150mg  
🗑
show Hypovolemia, Hypoxia, Hydrogen Ions (Acidosis), Hypo-HyperKalemia, Hypothermia, Tension pneumothorax, Tamponade-cardiac, Toxins, Thrombosis-pulmonary or coronary  
🗑
show Biphasic 120-150 j, second and third doses should be equivalent or higher; Monophasic 360 j  
🗑
show Deliver subsequent doses at the previously successful energy level.  
🗑
show Give CPR for 2 minutes. Gain IV/IO access and give epinephrine 1 mg every 3-5 minutes (1st or 2nd dose may be replaced by Vasopressin 40 units) consider advanced airway and capnography  
🗑
Patient is in Asystole or PEA. CPR has been in progress for 2 minutes, epinephrine administered, airway intact. What’s next?   show
🗑
show Check for and treat reversible causes. Then check for shockable rhythm.  
🗑
Describe the appropriate timing for pulse checks in order to avoid prolonged interruptions in compressions.   show
🗑
show Proceed to post cardiac arrest care.  
🗑
What course of action follows a questionable pulse and organized rhythm?   show
🗑
What is the appropriate dose of the antiarrhythmic amiordarone?   show
🗑
show 1-1.5mg/kg IV/IO first dose, then 0.5-.75mg/kg IV/IO at 5-10 minute intervals to a maximum dose of 3mg/kg  
🗑
show only for torsades de pointes associated with a long QT interval  
🗑
What is the appropriate dosing for magnesium sulfate?   show
🗑
What action is necessary if intra-arterial diastolic pressure is <20mm Hg?   show
🗑
If Petco2 is less than 10, what actions can be taken?   show
🗑
show Improve chest compressions and vasopressor therapy  
🗑
show Reduce the rate of drug administration to allow for slowed metabolism and avoid toxic drug levels. Vasopressors are appropriate. Antiarrhythmics have not been proven effective for hypothermia. Re-warm the patient.  
🗑
show 86  
🗑
show Give by bolus unless otherwise indicated, Follow with 20mL normal saline bolus, Elevate extremity for 10-20 seconds to promote delivery to central circulation  
🗑
How long does it take for drugs administered via peripheral IV during CPR to take full effect?   show
🗑
show Epinephrine, Vasopressin, and Lidocaine, Dose is 2-2.5 times the IV dose, dilute the dose in 5-10 mL of sterile water or NS and inject the drug directly into the trachea  
🗑
What are the limitations to drug administration via ET tube?   show
🗑
show Vasopressors are used to optimize cardiac output and blood pressure  
🗑
show Epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO q 3-5 minutes, Vasopressin 1 dose of 40 units can replace the first or second dose of epinenphrine, follow each dose with 20 ml of flush and elevation of the limb for 10-20 seconds  
🗑
show Epinephrine acts on andrenergic receptors causing vasoconstriction resulting in increased blood pressure and heart rate and improving perfusion pressure to the heart and brain  
🗑
show Vasopressin causes peripheral vasoconstriction and increase in arterial blood pressure  
🗑
When should amiordarone be used?   show
🗑
What kind of drugs are amiodarone, lidocaine, and magnesium sulfate?   show
🗑
What is the proper dosing for amiodarone?   show
🗑
When is it advisable to use Lidocaine in CPR?   show
🗑
show 1 -1.5 mg/kg repeat if indicated at 0.5 -0.75mg/kg over 5-10 minute intervals to a maximum dose of 3mg/kg  
🗑
show 2-4mg/kg  
🗑
What are the indications for magnesium sulfate?   show
🗑
