Tell me some requirements for good CPR quality - ✔✔--Push hard (at least 2 inches) and fast (100-120)
and allow complete chest recoil

-Minimize interruptions in compressions

-Avoid excessive ventilation

-Rotate compressor every 2 minutes, or sooner if fatigued

-If no advanced airway, 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio

-Quantitative waveform capnography

*If Petco2 <10 mm Hg, attempt to improve CPR quality

-Intra-arterial pressure

*If relaxation phase (diastolic) pressure <20 mm Hg, attempt to improve CPR quality



What is the typical shock energy for a biphasic defibrillator? - ✔✔-120-200 J (usually 200)



What is the typical shock energy for a monophasic defibrillator? - ✔✔-260 J



What is the typical epi dose (IV/IO)? - ✔✔-1 mg every 3-5 minutes



What is the typical amiodarone IV/IO dose? - ✔✔-First dose: 300 mg bolus

Second dose: 150 mg



Endotracheal intubation or supraglottic advanced airway is used. Just know this! - ✔✔-



What is used to confirm and monitor ET tube placement? - ✔✔-Waveform capnography or capnometry

, Once an advanced airway is in place, how often do you give breaths? - ✔✔-1 breath every 6 seconds (10
breaths/min) with continuous chest compressions



What is ROSC? - ✔✔-Return of spontaneous circulation



What indicates ROSC (maybe?) - ✔✔--Pulse and blood pressure

-Abrupt sustained increase in PETCO2 (typically >40 mm Hg)

-Spontaneous arterial pressure waves with intra-arterial monitoring



What are the reversible causes of cardiac arrest?

Know these super well!! - ✔✔--Hypovolemia

-Hypoxia

-Hydrogen ion (acidosis)

-Hypo/hyperkalemia

-Hypothermia

-Tension pneumothorax

-Tamponade, cardiac

-Toxins

-Thrombosis, pulmonary

-Thrombosis, coronary



What are the shockable rythms? - ✔✔-VF and pVT



Tell me about the cardiac arrest algorithm for VF/pVT - ✔✔-1. Quality CPR, start oxygen, attach
monitor/defibrillator

2. Shock

3. CPR 2 minutes, IV/IO access

4. Is the rhythm shockable?

*No: If ROSC, go to post-cardiac arrest care. If no signs of ROSC, continue CPR and give epi
