A+ A 56-year-old man reports that he has palpitations but not chest pain or difficulty breathing. The blood pressure is 132/68 mm Hg, the pulse is 130/min and regular, the respiratory rate is 12 breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is 95%. The lead II ECG displays a wide-complex tachycardia. What is the next action after establishing an IV and obtaining a 12-lead ECG? - ANSWER-Seeking expert consultation.

Application of the Tachycardia Algorithm to the Stable Patient: Wide (Broad)-Complex Tachycardias

EMS personnel arrive to find a patient in cardiac arrest. Bystanders are performing CPR. After attaching a cardiac monitor, the responder observes the rhythm strip shown above. What is the most important early intervention?

(V-fib) - ANSWER-Defibrillation

Principle of Early Defibrillation

A patient with pulseless ventricular tachycardia is defibrillated. What is the next action? - ANSWER-Start chest compressions at a rate of at least 100/min.

Resume CPR

Emergency medical responders are unable to obtain a peripheral IV for a patient in cardiac arrest.What is the next most preferred route for drug administration? - ANSWER-Intraosseous (IO)

Routes of Access for Drugs

What is the recommended compression rate for performing CPR? - ANSWER-At least 100 per minute (100-120)

The BLS Survey

You have completed your first 2-minute period of CPR. You see an organized, nonshockable rhythm on the ECG monitor. What is the next action? - ANSWER-Have a team member attempt to palpate a carotid pulse.

Rhythm Check

What is the most appropriate intervention for a rapidly deteriorating patient who has the lead II ECG shown above? - ANSWER-Synchronized cardioversion

Indications for Cardioversion

What is the appropriate rate of chest compressions for an adult in cardiac arrest? - ANSWER-At least 100/min.

Not approximately 120/min.

The BLS Survey

A patient in respiratory distress and with a blood pressure of 70/50 mm Hg presents with the lead II ECG rhythm above. What is the appropriate next intervention?

(Wide, regular Tachycardia with a Pulse) - ANSWER-Synchronized cardioversion

Indications for Cardioversion

A responder is caring for a patient with a history of CHF. The patient is experiencing SOB, BP of 68/50 mm Hg, and a HR of 190/min. The patient's lead II ECG is displayed above. Which of the following terms best describes this patient? - ANSWER-Unstable supraventricular tachycardia
