MS Flashcards
Placement and Color of V4?
5th intercostal
space at
midclavicular
line / Brown
Placement and Color of V3?
Directly
between the
leads V2 and V4 / Green
Placement and Color of V2?
4th intercostal
space to the left
of the sternum / Yellow
Rapid and chaotic tiring of atrial impulses, no identifiable P wave, Normal QRS (400-650 bpm)
Atrial Fibrillation
Chemical pumps re-establish an internal
negative charge as the cells return to their
resting state.
Repolarization
Types of ETTs
○ PORTEX Tube
○ RUBBER
○ REINFORCED
○ SPECIAL
it occurs when blood stops flowing to a part of the
brain
Stroke
The electrical charge of a cell is altered by a
shift of electrolytes on either side of the cell
membrane. This change stimulates muscle fiber
to contract
Depolarization
Compression to ventilation ratio in adult?
30:2 (1 or 2 rescuer)
SIGNS OF CARDIAC ARREST
● No response
● No breathing
● No circulations
Indications of chocking?
– difficulty breathing
– inability to cough forcefully
– skin, lips, nails turning blue or dusky
– loss of consciousness
Rapid rhythm, No P-wave visible, wide and irregular QRS complex, chaotic
Ventricular Fibrillation
used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing.
mechanical ventilations
located behind nose & extends to level of soft palate
Nasopharynx
Purpose of mechanical ventilations
- To maintain gas exchange in case of acute and chronic
respiratory failure. - To maintain ventilator support after CPR
- To excrete increased CO2 production
- To give general anesthesia with muscle relaxants.
Fast, normal rhythm, >100 bpm
Sinus tachycardia
Placement and color of V5?
Level with V4 at
left anterior
axillary line / Black
first aid procedure used to treat upper airway obstructions by foreign objects
Abdominal thrust / heimlich maneuver
Position in breathing (CPR)?
Head tilt chin lift
COMPLICATIONS (PAVVDDOA)
– pneumothorax
– airway injury
– ventilator- associated pneumonia
– ventilator associated tracheobronchitis
– diaphragm atrophy
– decreased cardiac output
– oxygen toxicity
– acute lung injury (ALI)/ acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS)
an imaginary formation of
three limb leads in a triangle used in
electrocardiography, formed by the two shoulders and
the pubis.
EINTHOVEN’S TRIANGLE
Compression depth of an infant?
atleast 1/4 AP diameter about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm)
Compression depth?
2 inchest
Handheld tool that is used to deliver positive
pressure ventilation to any subject with
insufficient or ineffective breaths.
AMBU BAG (Bag Valve Mask)
Common condition that leads to cardiac arrest?
Heart attack and Stroke
