Atrial Fibrillation
A patient in cardiac arrest. Ventricular fibrillation has been refractory to a second shock.
Which drug should be administered first?
Lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV/IO
Amiodarone 150 mg IV/IO
Atropine 1 mg IV/IO
Epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO
A 35-year-old woman has palpitations, light-headedness, and a stable tachycardia. The monitor shows a regular narrow-complex QRS at a rate of 180/min. Vagal maneuvers have not been effective in terminating the rhythm. An IV has been established.
Which drug should be administered?
Atropine 1 mg
Epinephrine 2 to 10 mcg/kg/min
Adenosine 6 mg
Lidocaine 1 mg/kg
A patient is in a pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Two shock and 1 dose of epinephrine have been given. Which drug should be given?
Adenosine 6 mg
Amiodarone 300 mg
Lidocaine 0.5 mg/kg
Epinephrine 3 mg
A patient has sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of 36/min. Atropine has been administered to a total dose 3 mg. A transcutaneous pacemaker has failed to capture. The patient is confused, and her blood pressure is 88/56 mmHg.
Which therapy is now indicated?
Atropine 1 mg
Epinephrine 2 to 10 mcg/min
Adenosine 6 mg
Normal saline 250 ml to 500 ml bolus
A patient has a rapid irregular wide-complex tachycardia. The ventricular rate is 138/min. He is asymptomatic, with a blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg. He has history of angina. What action is recommended next?
Giving adenosine 6 mg IV bolus
Performing synchronized cardioversion
Giving lidocaine 1 to 1.5 mg IV bolus
Seeking expert consultation
A 57-year-old woman has palpitations, chest discomfort, and tachycardia. The monitor shows a regular wide-complex QRS at a rate of 180/min. She becomes diaphoresis, and her blood pressure is 80/60 mmHg.
Which action do you take next?
Perform electrical cardioversion
Defibrillation
Adenosine 6 mg IV
Seek expert consultation
A patient is in refractory ventricular fibrillation. High-quality CPR is in progress. One dose of epinephrine was given after the second shock. An antiarrhythmic drug was given immediately after the third shock. You are the team leader.
Which medication do you order next?
Epinephrine 3 mg
A second dose of the antiarrhythmic drug
Epinephrine 1 mg
Sodium bicarbonate 50 mEq
You are providing bag-mask ventilations to a patient in respiratory arrest. How often should you provide ventilations?
Every 14 seconds
Every 12 seconds
Every 10 seconds
Every 6 seconds
A patient has been resuscitated from cardiac arrest. During post-ROSC treatment, the patient becomes unresponsive (pulseless) , with the rhythm shown here.
Which action is indicated next
Give immediate defibrillation
Perform synchronized cardioversion
Repeat amiodarone 300 mg IV
Give lidocaine 1 to 1.5 mg/kg IV
What is the recommended depth of chest compressions for an adult victim?
At least 2 inches
At least 2.5 inches
At least 3 inches
At least 1.5 inches
Which action should you take immediately after provide an AED shock?
Start rescue breathing
Check the pulse rate
Prepare to deliver a second shock
Resume chest compressions
