✔✔Structure
Among others which of the following factors has been associated with improved survival in
patients with cardiac arrest? ✔✔Immediate high quality CPR
What is the first link in the out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) Chain of Survival?
✔✔Activation of emergency response
The purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) is to
✔✔improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration.

condition deteriorates

Acknowledging correctly complete tasks in a positive way
HIGH QUALITY CPR INCLUDES: ✔✔Compress the chest hard and fast at least 2 inches at a
rate of 100 to 120 for a minute (30:2)
Allow the chest you completely recoil after each compression
Minimize interaction in compression (CHS compression fracture).
Switch compressors about every two minutes or earlier if the tea. The switch should only take
about five seconds
Avoid excessive Ventilation
Limit interactions for defibrillation or rhythm analysis to no longer than ✔✔10 seconds
Used bag mask device to ✔✔Give continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilation
once every six seconds
What defines chest compression fraction (ccf) ✔✔Actual chest compression time divided by
total code time
During CPR, chest compression fraction (CCF) should be at least % and ideally greater than %.
✔✔At least 60
Ideally Greater than 80
Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) ✔✔CPP = aortic diastolic pressure - right atrial diastolic
pressure
The higher the coronary perfusion pressure doing CPR, the higher the chances of survival
Quantitative waveform capnography ✔✔Uses entitle CO2 to estimate tissue perfusion and
quality of chest compressions
Used with an advanced airway in place of a bag mask device
What are the signs of clinical deterioration that was not the activation of a rapid response
system? ✔✔Seizure
Unexplained agitation
Symptomatic hypertension
How do you interruptions in chess compressions negatively impact survival after cardiac arrest
✔✔Decreased coronary perfusion pressure
Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) equals aortic pressure minus atrial diastolic pressure
✔✔Aortic diastolic
Minus
Right atrial
In addition to decreased by HCA, what are some other benefits of implementing a rapid response
system? ✔✔Decreased total hospital length of stay
Decreased ICU length of stay
The interval from collapse to defibrillation ✔✔It's one of the most important determinants of
survival from cardiac arrest, and early defibrillation is critical.
Electrical defibrillation is the most effective way to treat ✔✔Pulseless ventricular tachycardia
(PVT)
Ventricular fibrillation (VF)
Entire defibrillation sequence should take ✔✔Less than five seconds
Do not use an AED when ✔✔Manual defibrillator and appropriate staff are available
What is the only intervention that can restore an organized rhythm In a patient with ventricular
fibrillation ✔✔And effective defibrillation
How quickly does the chance of survival decrease in patients with ventricular fibrillation every
minute who do not receive bystander CPR ✔✔7-10%
Components of the systematic approach ✔✔Initial impression
BLS assessment
Primary assessment (A, B, C, D, and E)
Secondary assessment (sample, H,s and T,s)
the maximum amount of time you should simultaneously perform the pulse and breathing checks
✔✔10 seconds
The BLS Assessment is a systematic approach to BLS for trained healthcare providers this
approach stresses ✔✔Early CPR and defibrillation
Primary Assessment ✔✔the portion of patient assessment that focuses only on life threats,
specifically ABCs
