31
Q

What is the interval between doses for LIDO in CARDIAC ARREST?

32
Q

For LIDO, how do we remember the ETT dose?

A

Double to IV/IO/CVAD dose

33
Q

What is the infusionof NaCL given in a Cardiac Arrest?

34
Q

What is the max volume of NaCl given in a Cardiac Arrest?

35
Q

What are extenuating circumstances to patch early for a TOR?

A

Prolonged Egress
Prolonged Transport
Significant clinical limitations

36
Q

What happens during patch failure?

A

Transport to closest, most appropriate hospital

37
Q

Why should NaCl be considered during PEA

A

NaCl increases preload, which increases force of contraction

38
Q

When is a TOR applicable for Medical Cardiac Arrest?

A

No reversible causes

16 years old
altered
Not witnessed by medics
No ROSC
No Defib

39
Q

How does Lidocaine come?

40
Q

What route is preferred for EPI in cardiac arrest?

A

IV/IO

ETT if IV/IO is delayed by 5 minutes

41
Q

What is the chemical name for Sodium Bicarb?

42
Q

What class of medication is epinephrine?

A

sympathomimetic

43
Q

What class of medication is Amiodarone

A

Class 3 antiarrhythmic (potassium channel blocker)

44
Q

What class of medication is Lidocaine?

A

Class 1b antiarrhythmic (Sodium channel blocker)

45
Q

What class of medication is Sodium Bicarbonate?

A

Buffer/alkalizer/electrolyte

46
Q

What are the indications of Sodium Bicarbonate

A

severe acidosis, prolongued VSA

47
Q

How does Sodium Bicarbonate work?

A

Increases pH
Decreased Potassium in blood

48
Q

What medication should not be in the same line as Sodium Bicarbonate?

49
Q

Why is Sodium Bicarb not used in Hyperkalemia?

A

It works slower and the ion shift is not sustained.

50
Q

How is sodium bicarbonate stored?

A

50mEq/50ml Preload

51
Q

What actions of epinephrine is useful during cardiac arrest?

A

A1 vasocontriction
B2 Positive inotrophy, chronotrophy and dromotrophy

52
Q

How does amiodarone work?

A

1: Blocks sodium channels (SLOW conduction)
2: Beta blocking effects (decrease HR)
3: Blocks Potassium to nodal cells
-PROLONG repolarization
-lengthens action potential
-increases refractory period
4: Blocks calcium

53
Q

How does Lidocaine work in Cardiac Arrest?

A

Increases time for the myocyte to reach threshold potential (slows conduction)
Decreases Ventricular irritability
Terminate re-entry pathways

54
Q

Class 1 antiarrhythmics

A

Sodium Channel Blocker

55
Q

Class 2 antiarrhythmics

A

Beta Blocker

56
Q

Class 3 antiarrhythmics

59
Q

What happens in phase 1 of the cardiac action potential?

A

Potassium Out
Chloride Out

60
Q

What happens in phase 2 of the cardiac action potential?

A

Slow Calcium in
Potassium Out

61
Q

What happens in phase 3 of the cardiac action potential?

A

Potassium Out

62
Q

What happens in phase 4 of the cardiac action potential?

A
