3 mins into cardiac arrest resuscitation attempt, one member of your team inserts
an endotracheal tube while another performs chest compressions. Capnography
shows a persistent waveform & a PETCO2 of 8mmHg. What is the significance of
the finding?
a. chest compression may not be effective
b. The endotrachael tube is in the esophagus
c. the team is ventilating the patient too often
d. the patient meets the criteria for termination of efforts

, In addition to clinical assessment, which is the most reliable method to confirm &

A 45M had coronary artery stents placed 2 days ago. Today he is in severe
distress and reporting "crushing" chest discomfort. He is pale, diphoretic, and
cool to the touch. His radial pulse is very weak, blood pressure is 64/40,
respiratory is 28 bpm/min and O2 set is 89% on room air.
answer has to do with acute coronary syndrome
