response system, you determine there is no pulse. What is your next action?
Start chest compressions of at least 100 per min.
2. You are evaluating a 58 year old man with chest pain. The BP is 92/50 and a heart rate of
92/min, non-labored respiratory rate is 14 breaths/min and the pulse O2 is 97%. What
assessment step is most important now?
Obtaining a 12 lead ECG.
3. What is the preferred method of access for epi administration during cardiac arrest in
most pts?
Peripheral IV
4. An AED does not promptly analyze a rythm. What is your next step?
Begin chest compressions.
5. You have completed 2 min of CPR. The ECG monitor displays the lead below (PEA) and
the pt. has no pulse. You partner resumes chest compressions and an IV is in place. What
management step is your next priority?
Administer 1mg of epinepherine
6. During a pause in CPR, you see a narrow complex rythm on the monitor. The pt. has no
pulse. What is the next action?
Resume compressions
7. What is acommon but sometimes fatal mistake in cardiac arrest management?
Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions.
, 8. Which action is a componant of high-quality chest comressions?
Allowing complete chest recoil
9. Which action increases the chance of successful conversion of ventricular fibrillation?
Providing quality compressions immediately before a defibrillation attempt.

Sinus rythm without a pulse
11. What is the best strategy for perfoming high-quality CPR on a pt.with an advanced
airway in place?
Provide continuous chest compressionswithout pauses and 10 ventilations per minute.
12. 3 min after witnessing a cardiac arrest, one memeber of your team inserts an ET tube
while another performs continuous chest comressions. During subsequent bentilation,
you notice the presence of a wavefom on the capnogrophy screen and a PETCO2 of 8
mm Hg. What is the significance of this finding?
Chest compressions may not be effective.
13. The use of quantitative capnography in intubated pt's does what?
Allowsfor monitoring CPR quality
14. For the past 25 min, EMS crews have attemptedresuscitation of a pt who originally
presented with V-FIB. After the 1st shock, the ECG screen displayed asystole which has
persisted despite 2 doses of epi, a fluid bolus, and high quality CPR. What is your next
treatment?
Consider terminating resuscitive efforts after consulting medical control.
15. Which is a safe and effective practice within the defibrillation sequence?
Be sure O2 is NOT blowing over the pt's chest during shock.
