The patient does not have any contraindications to fibrinolytic therapy. Pulseless ventricular tachycardia is included in the algorithm because it is treated as ventricular fibrillation. Which immediate postcardiac arrest care intervention do you choose for this patient? Three minutes into a cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt, one member of your team inserts an endotracheal tube while another performs chest compressions. Clear communication between team leaders and team members is essential. The patient has return of spontaneous circulation and is not able to follow commands. A patient is being resuscitated in a very noisy environment. We propose that further studies on the effects of team interactions on performance of complex medical emergency interventions such as resuscitation are needed. accuracy while backing up team members when. 0000004836 00000 n

The lead II ECG reveals this rhythm. A. The lead II ECG reveals this rhythm. Pro Tip #1: What does matter is your ability to not only understand your role, but also the roles of others on your team. Agonal gasps may be present in the first minutes after sudden cardiac arrest. ACLS in the hospital will be performed by several providers. How should you respond? The Timer/Recorder team member records the
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. CPR according to the latest and most effective. Which is one way to minimize interruptions in chest compressions during CPR? During a resuscitation attempt, the team leader or a team member may need to intervene if an action that is about to occur may be inappropriate at the time. The, A 3-year-old child was recently diagnosed with leukemia and has been treated with, A 2-week-old infant presents with irritability and a history of poor feeding. D. Coronary reperfusioncapable medical center, After return of spontaneous circulation in patients in whom coronary artery occlusion is suspected, providers should transport the patient to a facility capable of reliably providing coronary reperfusion (eg, percutaneous coronary intervention) and other goal-directed postcardiac arrest care therapies. 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 4-year-old child presents with seizures and irregular respirations. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. C. Conduct a debriefing after the resuscitation attempt, B. Another member of your team resumes chest compressions, and an IV is in place. But perhaps the biggest responsibility of the team leader centers on his or her ability to communicate clearly and effectively and explain to team members the specifics of resuscitation care, such as: The team leader assigns the remaining roles to the other team members and makes appropriate treatment decisions based on proper diagnosis and interpretation of the patient's signs and symptoms. Both are treated with high-energy unsynchronized shocks. B. Noncontrast CT scan of the head A critical decision point in the assessment of the patient with acute stroke is the performance and interpretation of a noncontrast CT scan to differentiate ischemic from hemorrhagic stroke. or significant chest pain, you may attempt vagal maneuvers, first. the following is important, like, pushing, hard and fast in the center of the chest,

This team member is also the most likely candidate to share chest compression duties with the compressor. The next person is called the AED/Monitor
The roles of each team member must be carried out in a proficient manner based on the skills of each team member and their scope of expertise and practice. Early defibrillation is critical for patients with sudden cardiac arrest (ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia). 10 seconds ACLS providers must make every effort to minimize any interruptions in chest compressions. She has no obvious dependent edema, and her neck veins are flat. During a resuscitation attempt, the team leader asks you to administer an initial dose of Epinephrine at 0.1 mg/kg to be given IO. You are evaluating a 58-year-old man with chest discomfort. Her lung sounds are equal, with moderate rales present bilaterally. So vital, in fact, that this team member often rotates with another team member (usually the AED/monitor/defibrillator) to combat fatigue. do because of their scope of practice. Which do you do next? C. Amiodarone 500 mg IV has been given., D. I have an order to give 500 mg of amiodarone IV. B. After your initial assessment of this patient, which intervention should be performed next? The goal for emergency department doortoballoon inflation time is 90 minutes. Which is the appropriate treatment? going to speak more specifically about what

The patient meets the criteria for termination of efforts, C. The team is ventilating the patient too often (hyperventilation), D. Chest compressions may not be effective, D. Chest compressions may not be effective PETCO2 values less than 10 mm Hg in intubated patients indicate that cardiac output is inadequate to achieve return of spontaneous circulation. A 2-year-old child is in pulseless arrest. The team should stick to the ABCs (airway, breathing, and circulation) and keep the resuscitation room quiet so that all personnel can hear without repetitious commands. Providing a compression depth of one fourth the depth of the chest B. C. Second-degree type II This ECG rhythm strip shows second-degree type II atrioventricular block.

In addition to clinical assessment, which is the most reliable method to confirm and monitor correct placement of an endotracheal tube? The CT scan was normal, with no signs of hemorrhage. The CT scan should be completed within 25 minutes of the patients arrival in the emergency department and should be read within 45 minutes from emergency department arrival.
