resuscitation effort?
allowing full chest recoil after each compression
minimizing interruptions in chest compression
avoiding excessive ventilation
The compressor and airway team member should rotate positions after every cycle of CPR
The cardiac monitor is in place on the patient’s chest and rhythm analysis is complete. . What should be done next?
administer Iv epinephrine
Deliver defibrillator shock
check the pulse
continue chest compression
defibrillator shock is delivered, what you will do next?
check pulse
check rhythm
start chest compression
give another shock
The patient has been defibrillated and high-quality CPR is ongoing. How will you open the patient’s airway?
head tilt–chin lift
jaw thrust
Chest compression is ongoing. An oral airway has been inserted. The patient is being ventilated with a BMV. You see gentle chest rise with bagging. Vascular access has been established. What should be done next?
continue CPR

placement of an advanced airway
deliver defibrillator shock
After 2 minutes of CPR, the defibrillation team member reanalyzed the patient’s rhythm , How would you like to proceed
deliver defibrillator shock
start chest compression
give IV epinephrine
consider advanced airway
