CORRECT ANSWERS RATED A+
Select the one syndrome listed below that is not a degree in the progression of coronary artery occlusion.
Stable angina (SA)
Which of the following is used to categorize patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
12-lead ECG to determine if an ST-segment elevation MI is present
The BLS Assessment places emphasis on early:
CPR and defibrillation
The first step in the PEA algorithm is defibrillation.
False - administer chest compressions and oxygen first
Which of the following will providers be able to do after completing the ACLS course?
Utilize the Basic Life Support Assessment
Provide effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Provide immediate post-cardiac arrest care
Recognize and initiate early management of ACS
All of the above
An AED has arrived at the scene. You turn it on and place the pads on the patient. The AED doesn't promptly analyze the rhythm. You should:
Resume CPR Vasopressin should only be given after the first dose of epinephrine in the asystole pathway of the adult cardiac arrest algorithm.
False - combined use of vasopressin and epinephrine is no longer recommended and vasopressin has been removed from the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2015 Update
In adult tachycardia without signs and symptoms of cardiovascular instability, if the QRS complex is <0.12 seconds, vagal maneuvers are recommended to help slow the heart rate.
True - vagal maneuvers are recommended, along with adenosine (if regular rhythm) and b-blocker/Calcium channel blocker
PETCO2 is:
Monitored by capnography
Is the partial pressure of CO2 in exhaled air at the end of the exhalation phase
Is an effective way to monitor ventilation when performing endotracheal intubation
All of the above
Which of the following is indicated to minimize interruptions in chest compressions?
Avoid prolonged rhythm analysis.
Vasopressin is more effective than epinephrine in cardiac arrest.
False - combined use of vasopressin and epinephrine is no longer recommended and vasopressin has been removed from the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2015 Update.
Which of following is not part of the H's and T's mnemonic of ACLS:
