|
In regards to Arrest in Hypothermia, which is correct?
A. Intubation is not safe with Temperature < 30 degrees. B. Drug dosage intervals are doubled when the temperature is < 32 degrees. C. With unsuccessful initial defibrillation at 200 Joules, repeat shocks occur only for each 1 degree increase in temperature. D. Oxygen and fluid is warmed to 35 degrees. |
C.
A =it is (it does not precipitate VF ) B = Withhold drugs when T emp. < 30 degrees Double the interval between doses when Temp 30 -35. Standard protocol when Temp > 35. D. Fluid and oxygen warmed to 40 degrees. |

In regards to Arrest Algorithms, which of the following is correct?
A. In the Paediatric BLS algorithm, there are 5 cycles per minute. B. In Adult arrest, there are 5 cycles per minute. C. In Paediatric Arrest (ALS) there are 5 cycles per minute D. In Pregnant arrest, there are 5 cycle per minute . |
C. 5 cycle of 15:2 per minute
A = 5 cycle per 2 minutes B = 5 cycles per 2 minutes D = 5 cycle per 2 minutes |

Adrenaline is administered after the first shock in shockable rhythms. D. Amiodarone is administered after the 3rd shock. |
C. After second shock

Chest compressions are commenced at a rate of 100/minute. D. The compression :ventilation ratio is 3:1 |
D.
A = adrenaline 0.1 mL/kg 1:10,000 ( 10-30 ug/kg ; 0.1 -0.3 mL/kg 1:10,000) B = PPV with room air at rate of 40-60/min C = Compressions at rate 120/min |
