During the dinner after the meeting, Zhang Lishan, the county magistrate of Yunlin County, came to pay tribute. leader should primarily focus on team management rather than interventional skills during a resuscitation attempt, regardless of neonatal, pediatric, or adult situations. Based on this patients initial presentation, which condition do you suspect led to the cardiac arrest? [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Acute Coronary Syndromes Case > Immediate ED Assessment and Treatment > Introduction; page 67]. The ECG monitor displays the lead II rhythm shown here, and the patient has no pulse. committed to the success of the ACLS resuscitation. The purpose of these teams is to improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 2: Systems of Care > Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation > Foundational Facts: Medical Emergency Teams and Rapid Response Teams; page 15]. Check the pulse immediately after defibrillation, C. Use an AED to monitor the patients rhythm, D. Continue CPR while the defibrillator charges, D. Continue CPR while the defibrillator charges Shortening the interval between the last compression and the shock by even a few seconds can improve shock success (defibrillation and return of spontaneous circulation). Your patient is in cardiac arrest and has been intubated. The lead II ECG reveals this rhythm. The next person is called the AED/Monitor Despite the drug provided above and continued CPR, the patient remains in ventricular fibrillation. Capnography shows a persistent waveform and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. Which is the recommended next step after a defibrillation attempt? When IV/IO access is available, give epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO during CPR after the second shock and repeat epinephrine 1 mg IV/IO every 3 to 5 minutes. The defibrillator operator should deliver the shock as soon as the compressor removes his or her hands from the patients chest and all providers are clear of contact with the patient.

This allows the team leader to evaluate team resources and call for backup of team members when assistance is needed. For example, after verifying a shockable rhythm and initiating the charging sequence on the defibrillator, another provider should resume chest compressions and continue until the defibrillator is fully charged. The interval from collapse to defibrillation is one of the most important determinants of survival from cardiac arrest. A.
