Full Answer

How many compressions per minute does a patient become unresponsive?

100-120 compressions per minute A patient becomes unresponsive. You are uncertain if a faint pulse is present. They rhythm shown here is seen on the cardiac monitor.

What should you do if the patient is not responding?

Administer adenosine 12 mg IV Your patient is not responsive and is not breathing, You can palpate a carotid pulse. Which action do you take next? Start rescue breathing You arrive on the scene to find CPR in progress. Nursing staff report the patient was recovering from a pulmonary embolism and suddenly collapsed.

Is high-quality CPR in progress?

High-quality CPR is in progress. An AED has previously advised "no shock indicated". A rhythm check now finds asystole. After resuming high-quality compressions, your next action is to what?

What happens to the patient during post-ROSC treatment for cardiac arrest?

A patient has been resuscitated from cardiac arrest. During post-ROSC treatment, the patient becomes unresponsive, with the rhythm shown here. Which action is indicated next?

Which action should be taken immediately after providing an AED shock?

After providing a shock with an AED you should:Start CPR, beginning with chest compressions.check a pulse.give a rescue breath.let the AED reanalyze the rhythm.

Which of the following are immediately available as feedback from CPR performance monitors?

Routinely available feedback on CPR performance characteristics includes chest compression rate, depth, and recoil.

How does complete chest recoil contribute to effective CPR?

But what is chest recoil? This is the concept of taking all of one's weight off of the chest between each compression to allow the chest to fully expand, which creates a negative pressure that draws blood back into the heart. Drawing blood back into the heart is the only way tissue perfusion is actually able to occur.

What is the recommended compression rate for high quality CPR quizlet?

"You need to compress at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute." How do you perform chest compressions when providing high-quality CPR to a child victim?

What are the 7 steps of CPR?

What Are the Seven Steps of CPR? The seven steps of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) involve checking the scene and the person, calling 911 for assistance, opening the airway, checking for breathing, chest compressions, delivering rescue breaths, and repeating CPR steps.

What is the process of CPR?

Check that the area is safe, then perform the following basic CPR steps:Call 911 or ask someone else to.Lay the person on their back and open their airway.Check for breathing. ... Perform 30 chest compressions.Perform two rescue breaths.Repeat until an ambulance or automated external defibrillator (AED) arrives.

How much should the chest recoil in CPR?

2.4 inchesChest compression should not be deeper than 2.4 inches (6cm) allowing for complete chest recoil between each compression. This compression depth limit was implemented because there is evidence that complications may arise when compression depth exceeds this limit.

When do you change compressors during CPR?

Switch roles after every five cycles of compressions and breaths. One cycle consists of 30 compressions and two breaths for adults. Be sure that between each compression you completely stop pressing on the chest and allow the chest wall to return to its natural position.

When do you pause chest compressions?

During CPR chest compressions are interrupted for various reasons including rescue breaths, rhythm analysis, pulse-checks and defibrillation. These interruptions decrease coronary and cerebral blood flow and have been associated with decreased survival both in animals and humans (2-4).

What is the recommended rate for high-quality CPR?

100-120/minHigh-quality CPR performance metrics include: Chest compression fraction >80% Compression rate of 100-120/min. Compression depth of at least 50 mm (2 inches) in adults and at least 1/3 the AP dimension of the chest in infants and children.

What is the recommended compression rate for CPR?

100 to 120 compressions per minuteCompressions should be done at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute at a depth of about 1.5 inches for infants, about 2 inches for children and at least 2 inches but no greater than 2.4 inches for adolescents. If rescuers are unwilling or unable to deliver breaths, they should perform compression-only CPR.

What is the recommended compression rate?

100 per minuteBased on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation statement, the current guidelines from the AHA recommend using a chest compression rate of at least 100 per minute and a compression depth of at least 50 mm.

Card Range To Study

A patient with ST-segment elevation M yocardiac Infraction has ongoing chest discomfort. Fibrinolytic therapy has been ordered. Heparin 4000 units I. V. bolus was administered, a heparin infusion of 1000 units per hour is being administered. Aspirin was not taken by the patient because he had a history of gastritis treated 5 years ago.
