Cardiac Arrest in Adults Exam Questions
and Answers Latest Update
Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Chain of Survival - Answer-Surveillance and prevention
Recognition of a cardiac emergency and activation of the emergency response system
Early CPR to keep oxygen-rich blood flowing and to help delay brain damage and death
Early defibrillation to help restore an effective heart rhythm and significantly increase the
patient's chance for survival.
Integrated post-cardiac arrest care to optimize ventilation and oxygenation and treat
hypotension immediately after the return of spontaneous circulation.
Adult out of hospital chain of survival - Answer-1. Activation of Emergency Response
2. High-Quality CPR
3. Defibrillation
4. Advanced Life Support
5. Integrated Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
6. Recovery
ROSC - Answer-Return of spontaneous circulation
cardiac arrest signs - Answer-patient is not breathing (or only gasping) and their central
pulse is absent
cardiac arrest versus myocardial infarction - Answer-MI- necrosis or heart tissue as a
result of insufficient delivery of oxygenated blood to the heart.
can an MI lead to cardiac arrest? - Answer-yes
MI signs - Answer-Chest discomfort or pain that is severe, lasts longer than 3 to 5
minutes, goes away and comes back, or persists even during rest.
Discomfort, pressure or pain that is persistent and ranges from discomfort to an
unbearable crushing sensation in the chest, possibly spreading to the shoulder, arm,

(81-mg) aspirin or one 325-mg adult aspirin based on your facility's protocols.
make sure the patient _____ medication for an MI - Answer-chews
purpose of CPR - Answer-circulate blood containing oxygen to vital organs
Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP) - Answer-pressure of blood through the coronary
circulation as a result of the pressure gradient between the aortic pressure and the right
atrial pressure
reflection of myocardial blood flow
reflects diastole
what happens when there are gaps during CPR? (CPP) - Answer-CPP goes down
what CPP is shown to increase the likelihood or ROSC and survival? - Answer-greater
or equal to 20 mmHg
how much volume of air should each ventilation provide? - Answer-400-700 mL volume
where should the hands be for CPR - Answer-centered on the lower half of the sternum
