Q

Why is EPI not a choice for RVF

A

Some studies show - It increases myocardial oxygen demand due to (ionotropic and chronotropic effects) leading to exacerbation of myocardial eschemia.
It may contribute to myocardial dysfunction and electrical instability.

16
Q

What position do you place an infants head

A

sniffing position - neutral
To avoid airway from becoming blocked
External ear canal is level with the top of the infant’s shoulder

17
Q

When sudden cardiac arrest happens in adult what is the oxygen content…

A

The blood oxygen content is able to meet the demands of the body for the first few minutes after arrest

18
Q

When sudden cardiac arrest happens in infants or children what is the oxygen content…

A

Often PRIOR to arrest a child/infant has RF or shock that reduces the oxygen content in the blood even before the onset of arrest.
Important both COMPRESSIONS and BREATHS
