lead 2

Question 5

P3

Answer 5

lead 3

Question 6

if a patient has pads or paddles and those can produce an ecg rhythm are the ecg leads even necessary?

Answer 6

yes if you want to perform synchronized cardioversion

Question 7

benefits of monitoring with ecg leads

Answer 7

more accurate

more reliable r wave sensing

Question 8

what are the indications for using ecg leads on manual defib?

Answer 8

pacing

synchronized cardioversion

Question 9

standard defib pad disadvantages

Answer 9

lower quality ecg signal

cant measure effectiveness of chest compressions

Question 10

when is the ecg leads necessary with standard pads?

Answer 10

pacing

syn cardioversion

Question 11

pads with compression sensor

Answer 11

see thru CPR feature
rate prompt
idle time prompt
depth prompt

Question 12

see thru cpr feature

Answer 12

see underlying rhythm during compressions

Question 13

rate prompt

Answer 13

voice says go faster if <80comp/min

Question 14

idle time prompt

Answer 14

voice says when idle time between compressions is too long

Question 15

depth prompt

Answer 15

hexagon on monitor fills if correct depth given

2-2.4inches

Question 16

what are the two types of pads with compression sensors

Answer 16

posterior left anterior cpr pad

anterior anterior cpr pad

Question 17

what are the 4 types of Zoll one step pads?

Answer 17

one step cpr
one step pacing pad
one step complete pad
one step basic pad

Question 18

one step cpr pad

Answer 18

standard pad with cpr chest compression sensor

Question 19

limitation of one step cpr

Answer 19

less effective r wave sensing

Question 20

one step cpr pad placement

Answer 20

posterior left anterior

Question 21

one step pacing pad

Answer 21

3 lead ecg system built in and has reliable r wave sensing

Question 22

one step pacing pad placement

Answer 22

posterior left anterior

this is the only postition where the r wave monitoring will be accurate

Question 23

is the one step pacing pad a good option for patients who require chest compressions?

Answer 23

no because there is no compression sensor

when pacing with the one step pacing pad where will the paced ecg occur on the defib?

Answer 24

P3

Question 25

one step complete pad

Answer 25

one step cpr and pacing pad together
pacing without extra ecg leads
synchronized cardioversion
defib
compression feedback

Question 26

one step complete pad placement

Answer 26

posterior left anterior

yes

Question 33

an anesthetist one step pacing pad wants to attempt synch cardioversion of monomorphic vtach. is it recommended for separate ecg cables?

Answer 33

no

Question 34

an anesthetist has one step complete pad and wants to initiate transcutaneous pacing. is it recommended for separate ecg cable?

Answer 34

no
