Q

Q

What is the principle drawback of delivering excessive volume or frequency of ventilations during CPR?

A
  1. Increased intrathoracic pressure reduces cardiac preload and hence cardiac output

16
Q
  1. During attempted CPR, is it best to place an iGel before or after the BVM, oxygen, viral filter and ETCO2 have been prepared?
A
  1. Before

Some ventilation will occur through the iGel alone during compressions.

17
Q

Beyond securing with the commercial strap or with tape, what manual technique is recommended for ensuring an iGel remains seated after placement?

A
  1. Use the free hand to maintain constant, gentle downward pressure

2023 CPFR Vector Solutions Assignment: Prehospital Cardiac Arrest

18
Q

The gastric channel of an iGel should be suctioned with a (1.) —, while the tracheal channel should be suctioned with a (2.) —. A patient’s oropharynx should be suction with a (3.) —.

A
  1. Gastric suction tube
  2. Tracheal suction tube
  3. Ducanto hard suction catheter

19
Q

During CPR with an iGel in place, ventilations should be maintained at (1.) — to — for pediatric patients.

A
  1. 20-30

2023 CPFR Vector Solutions Assignment: Prehospital Cardiac Arrest

20
Q

When operating in AED mode, electrical therapy pads should be placed in the (1.) — position.

A
  1. anterior-lateral

This allows for proper rhythm analysis.

21
Q

Pediatric torsos which are too small for proper anterior-lateral defibrillation pad placement should be considered for (1.) — placement instread.

A
  1. anterior-posterior

Four-lead ECG interpretation will be required for proper rhythm analysis

22
Q

What LIfePak 15 waveform display is preferable during manual-mode CPR analysis?

A
  1. Top line: Paddles or Lead II
  2. Middle line: SpO<aub>2</sub></aub>
  3. Bottom line: EtCO2

23
Q

What CPFR CPR pit crew position is responsible for time-stamping interventions?

A
  1. Monitor Position

AED mode allows for only a generic event recording, without proper detai

24
Q

What CPFR CPR pit crew model postion is responsible for the BLS Coach role?

A
  1. Monitor Position

25
Q

What is it recommended that the CPR pit crew Monitor Position do during the Team Leader’s rhythm analysis?

A
  1. Print the rhythm

26
Q

In what position is it recommended that the heart monitor be placed during CPR?

A
  1. At the patient’s right hip, with the screen towards the head

27
Q

How is the LifePak 15’s AED Mode initiated after pad placement?

A
  1. Push the Analyze button

28
Q

What is the most common method of changing the LIfePak 15 from AED Mode to Manual Mode?

A
  1. Push the Energy Select button

29
Q

(1.) — is the source of energy for every cell in the body including cardiac tissue. The more coarse VF is on the monitor, the more — is still present in cardiac muscle. Fine VF is representative of very little — left in the heart muscle.

A
  1. Adenosine triphosphate

30
Q

With respect to the “H’s and T’s”, if a cardiac arrest patient has a recent history of GI upset, diuresis, or potassium wasting medications such as HCTZ, consider (1.) —.

A
  1. Hypokalemia

2023 CPFR Vector Solutions Assignment: Prehospital Cardiac Arrest

31
Q

With respect to the “H’s and T’s”, if a cardiac arrest patient has a recent history of metabolic acidosis (e.g., DKA or sepsis), renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, neuromuscular disease or recent chemotherapy, consider (1.) —.

A
  1. Hyperkalemia

32
Q
  1. What is the principle adverse reaction which is likely to occur as a result of administering nitroglycerin to patients diagnosed with aortic stenosis or who are therapeutically dosed with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor?
A
  1. A precipitious drop in blood pressure
