42
Q

After an cardiac resuscitation occurs in the patient is resuscitated. What is the range of oxygen saturation?

A

92 to 98

43

A

95 to 98

44
Q

What are the positions of a CPR team?

A

One CPR
2. airway management
3. Vascular access (priority order)
4. Timekeeper recorder.
5. Cardiac monitoring defibrillating.
6. Team leader.

45
Q

What are the rules of vascular access during a code?

A

It is the priority order
You have two attempts at a peripheral IV
Then you change to IO
Then you get a central line

46
Q

What does the timekeeper recorder do?

A

Runs crash cart documents everything that happens in legal timeline

47
Q

How often do you defibrillate?

A

Once every two minutes

What is communication in a code?

A

Close loop communication

49
Q

What is closed loop communication

51
Q

If the patient is in ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia what do you do?

A

Resume CPR immediately
Give epinephrine 1 mg every 3 to 5 minutes
CPR
Defibrillate
CPR

52
Q

How do you give amiodarone in a code?

A

For V fib or v tach
First dose 300 mg
Second dose, 150 mg
No more than two doses
Max out at 450
