These training videos are the same videos you will experience when you take the full ProACLS program. A compressor assess the patient and performs with accuracy and when appropriate. The purpose of these teams is to improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration. 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. The next person is called the AED/Monitor Which is the recommended oral dose of aspirin for a patient with a suspected acute coronary syndrome? He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. Its vitally important that the resuscitation Check the pulse immediately after defibrillation, C. Use an AED to monitor the patients rhythm, D. Continue CPR while the defibrillator charges, D. Continue CPR while the defibrillator charges Shortening the interval between the last compression and the shock by even a few seconds can improve shock success (defibrillation and return of spontaneous circulation). Which is the next step in your assessment and management of this patient? 5 to 10 seconds Check the pulse for 5 to 10 seconds. When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly changed to ventricular fibrillation. 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. The lead II ECG reveals this rhythm. The patient is experiencing shortness of breath, a blood pressure of 68/50 mm Hg, and a heart rate of 190/min. A. . Which is the appropriate treatment? Both are treated with high-energy unsynchronized shocks. Constructive interven-tion is necessary but should be done tactfully. Which of these tests should be performed for a patient with suspected stroke as early as possible but no more than 20 minutes after hospital arrival?

Once every 5 to 6 seconds For a patient in respiratory arrest with a pulse, deliver ventilations once every 5 to 6 seconds with a bag-mask device or any advanced airway. You are unable to obtain a blood pressure. The interval from collapse to defibrillation is one of the most important determinants of survival from cardiac arrest. The team leader asks you to perform bag-mask ventilation during a resuscitation attempt, but you have not perfected that skill. She has no obvious dependent edema, and her neck veins are flat. 0000002277 00000 n 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.

Which do you do next? A team member is unable to perform an assigned task because it is beyond the team member's scope of practice. Capnography shows a persistent waveform and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. Which is the recommended next step after a defibrillation attempt? well as a vital member of a high-performance, Now lets take a look at what each of these When IV/IO access is available, give epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO during CPR after the second shock and repeat epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO every 3 to 5 minutes. treatments while utilizing effective communication. You see, every symphony needs a conductor do because of their scope of practice. Which is an acceptable method of selecting an appropriately sized oropharyngeal airway? 0000035792 00000 n As you might have guessed, this team member is in charge of bringing an AED to the scene (unless one is already present) and operating the AED. [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]. interruptions in chest compressions, and avoiding Address the team member immediately During a resuscitation attempt, the leader or a member of a high-performance team may need to intervene if an action that is about to occur may be inappropriate at the time. What is the minimum systolic blood pressure one should attempt to achieve with fluid administration or vasoactive agents in a hypotensive postcardiac arrest patient who achieves return of spontaneous circulation? 0000058159 00000 n Clear communication between team leaders and team members is essential. A. Amiodarone 300 mg Consider amiodarone for treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to shock delivery, CPR, and a vasopressor. If a team member is about to make a mistake during a resuscitation attempt, which best describes the action that the team leader or other team members should take? CPR according to the latest and most effective. Which drug and dose should you administer first to this patient? EMS providers are treating a patient with suspected stroke. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Acute Coronary Syndromes Case > EMS Assessment, Care, and Hospital Preparation > Administer Oxygen and Drugs; page 65], C. 100 to 120/min When performing chest compressions, you should compress at a rate of 100 to 120/min. and delivers those medications appropriately. Team Leader: Senior physician who checks ECPR inclusion/exclusion, role assignment and physical member positioning, and manages the overall room. A patient is being resuscitated in a very noisy environment. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 3: Effective High-Performance Team Dynamics > Elements of Effective High- Performance Team Dynamics > Roles; page 28]. During a resuscitation attempt, the team leader orders an initial dose of epinephrine at 0 mg/kg to be given 10. e 5i)K!] amtmh Compressor every 5 cycles or approximately, every 2 minutes or at which time where the You are the team leader during a pediatric resuscitation attempt Which action is an element of high- er quality CPR? The team leader's role is to clearly define and delegate tasks according to each team member's skill level. A 7-year-old child presents in pulseless arrest. 30 0 obj <> endobj xref 30 61 0000000016 00000 n The lead II ECG reveals this rhythm. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 2: Systems of Care > Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation > Foundational Facts: Medical Emergency Teams and Rapid Response Teams; page 15], This ECG rhythm strip shows second-degree atrioventricular block type I. Alert the hospital Prearrival notification allows the hospital to prepare to evaluate and manage the patient effectively. 0000058430 00000 n 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. During a pediatric resuscitation attempt, what is most likely to contribute to high-quality CPR? Alert the hospital 16. Whether you are a team member or a team leader during a resuscitation attempt, you should understand not only your role but also the roles of other members. Browse over 1 million classes created by top students, professors, publishers, and experts. Despite the drug provided above and continued CPR, the patient remains in ventricular fibrillation. In a high performance resuscitation team, When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quickly changed to ventricular fibrillation. Check the ECG for evidence of a rhythm, B. A 68-year-old woman presents with light-headedness, nausea, and chest discomfort. Which immediate postcardiac arrest care intervention do you choose for this patient? You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke whose symptoms started 2 hours ago.

C. Continuous waveform capnography The AHA recommends continuous waveform capnography in addition to clinical assessment as the most reliable method of confirming and monitoring correct placement of an endotracheal tube. and every high performance resuscitation team, needs a person to fill the role of team leader The compressions must be performed at the right depth and rate. A. Providing a compression depth of one fourth the depth of the chest B. Today, he is in severe distress and is reporting crushing chest discomfort. Decreased cardiac output Excessive ventilation can be harmful because it increases intrathoracic pressure, decreases venous return to the heart, and diminishes cardiac output and survival. ACLS in the hospital will be performed by several providers. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Acute Stroke Case > CT Scan: Hemorrhage or No Hemorrhage > Introduction; page 84].
