Q

Dextrose

A

Tx of hypoglycemia

17
Q

Atropine

A

Anticolonergic

Tx of bradyarrhythmias

18
Q

Lidocaine

A

Tx of ventricular arrhythmias

19
Q

Dexamethasone

A

Tx of anaphylaxis

20
Q

Dobutamine HCI

A

Tx of hypotension and shock

21
Q

Dopram

A

Resp. stimulant

Post c- section to get neonates breathing

22
Q

Signs of impending CPA

A

Decreased mentation – depressed
Resp. changes – rate, depth, pattern
Pulse changes – pulse deficit, no pulse
Abnormal ECG patterns – ven arrhythmias

23
Q

Verify arrest

A

Check for femoral pulses
Listen for heart sounds -> palpate at same
time
Palpate for apical beat
If under GA turn off anesthesia immediately
Notify appropriate personnel ASAP
Upon verification of CPA, properly perform
CPCR

24
Q

ABCD’s

A 
A = airway
B = breathing
C = circulation/cardiac massage
D = drugs/d fib
25
Q

Ensure pt airway

A
  1. +/- clear airway -> finger sweep/suction
  2. Properly place ET tube
  3. +/- perform trachealoscopy
26
Q

Breathing:

A

Ventilate at 15-20 cm H2O pressure –> max pressure when you administer a breath
Give 2 initial breaths of 1.5 sec each –> sigh breath –> re-inflates the alveoli

27
Q

Breathing: ventilation rate

A

1 breath/3-5 compression = true CPA
1 breath/15 sec = reap. arrest
Breath can be same time as compression
