Chest compressions Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia require CPR until a defibrillator is available. When the flange of the OPA is at the corner of the mouth, the tip is at the angle of the mandible. Code team leaders who embrace their position tend to have more effective leadership, better team coordination, and overall superior performance. Monitor the patients PETCO2 The AHA recommends using quantitative waveform capnography in intubated patients to monitor CPR quality, optimize chest compressions, and detect return of spontaneous circulation during chest compressions. A. what may be expected next and will help them, perform their role with efficiency and communicate Refuse to administer the drug A Today, he is in severe distress and is reporting crushing chest discomfort. When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly changed to ventricular fibrillation. You are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest discomfort. D. Check the patients breathing and pulse, D. Check the patients breathing and pulse After you determine that a patient is unresponsive and activate your emergency team, a breathing check and pulse check should be performed. Team members including the team leader should ask for assistance or advice early before the situation gets out of hand. Which rate should you use to perform the compressions? A team member thinks he heard an order for 500 mg of amiodarone IV. When you stop chest compressions, blood flow to the brain and heart stops. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Cardiac Arrest: VF/Pulseless VT Case > Managing VF/Pulseless VT: The Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm > VF/pVT (Left Side); page 93].

Its vitally important that the resuscitation trailer <<7ED282FD645311DBA152000D933E3B46>]>> startxref 0 %%EOF 90 0 obj<>stream High-performance team members should anticipate situations in which they might require assistance and inform the team leader. Team members should question a colleague who is about to make a mistake. The window will refresh momentarily. Based on this patients initial assessment, which adult ACLS algorithm should you follow? A. Administer IV medications only when delivering breaths, B. You instruct a team member to give 1 mg atropine IV. This person can change positions with the So vital, in fact, that this team member often rotates with another team member (usually the AED/monitor/defibrillator) to combat fatigue. Determine if a carotid pulse is present, D. Resume CPR, starting with chest compressions, Follow each shock immediately with CPR, beginning with chest compressions. Inadequate oxygenation and/or ventilation, B. During cardiac arrest, consider amiodarone 300 mg IV/IO push for the first dose. This team member is in charge of all vascular duties, including: The time recorder is responsible for keeping a rolling record of time for: The time recorder also announces to the team when/if a next treatment or more medication is due. The interval from collapse to defibrillation is one of the most important determinants of survival from cardiac arrest. She is alert, with no. Which is the recommended first intravenous dose of amiodarone for a patient with refractory ventricular fibrillation? 300 mg Consider amiodarone for treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to shock delivery, CPR, and a vasopressor. When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly changed to ventricular fibrillation. Interchange the Ventilator and Compressor during a rhythm check. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Tachycardia: Stable and Unstable > Application of the Tachycardia Algorithm to the Unstable Patient > Identify and Treat the Underlying Cause; page 134]. How can you increase chest compression fraction during a code? A. 0000028374 00000 n to open the airway, but also maintain the, They work diligently to give proper bag-mask Browse over 1 million classes created by top students, professors, publishers, and experts. 0000030312 00000 n Obtain vascular access and administer 20 mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid over 5 to 10 minutes, B. A 3-year-old child presents with dehydration after a 2-day history of vomiting and diarrhea. The AHA recommends this as an important part of teamwork in CPR. For example, after verifying a shockable rhythm and initiating the charging sequence on the defibrillator, another provider should resume chest compressions and continue until the defibrillator is fully charged. Thus, it is reasonable for healthcare providers to practice efficient coordination between CPR and defibrillation to minimize the hands-off interval between stopping compressions and administering the shock. advanced assessment like 12 lead EKGs, Laboratory. Which best describes an action taken by the Team Leader to avoid inefficiencies during a resuscitation attempt?

Which of the following is a characteristic of respiratory failure? way and at the right time. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Bradycardia Case > Rhythms for Bradycardia; page 121]. A. Amiodarone 300 mg Consider amiodarone for treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to shock delivery, CPR, and a vasopressor. Ideally, these checks are done simultaneously to minimize delay in detection of cardiac arrest and initiation of CPR. The patient's lead Il ECG is displayed here. to ensure that all team members are doing. The defibrillator operator should deliver the shock as soon as the compressor removes his or her hands from the patients chest and all providers are clear of contact with the patient. His radial pulse is very weak, blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg, respiratory rate is 28 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation is 89% on room air.
