Q

~

~Why should you not delay CPR to hook up or rely on monitors to tell you if a pt is in CPA?

A

Heat can give off electrical signals with out beating. Auscultation or palpation is best bet to tell

35
Q

~

~How far should you compress the chest during CPR?

A

1/2 -1/3 the width & allow to recoil completely before you compress again

36
Q

~

~What are the 2 pump theories of CPR?

37
Q

~

~What animals can you do cardiac pumping in?

A

Small dogs, puppies, cats or Thin (Keel) chested dogs

38
Q

~

~Where do you place your hand in the thoracic pump CPR?

A

widest portion of chest when in lateral recumbency (caudel to actual heart)

39
Q

~

~Where do you place your hand in the cardiac pump CPR?

A

Over the heart

40
Q

~

~What rate should you preform chest compressions at?

A

100-120 beats per minute

41
Q

~

~What song can you sing in your head to help you keep time?

A

Another one bites the dust or staying alive

42
Q

~

~When doing chest compressions on a dog in lateral recumbency where should the spine be?

A

Against you so they dont slide off the table

43
Q

~

~What is important in securing an airway or ventilation?

A

SECURE THE TUBE!

44
Q

~

~How can you give IPPV with out and ET tube?

A

Mouth to snout

45
Q

~

~If you are doing CPR on your own how many compressions to breaths to you give?

46
Q

~

~What is interposed abdominal compressions?

A

When you let chest recoil some one else pushes on the abdomen to return the blood to thorax

47
Q

~

~What are the pros of interposed abdominal compressions?

A

May increase venous return

48
Q

~

~What are the cons of interposed abdominal compressions?

A

Minimal Abdominal trauma (there dead anyway might as well go for it)

49
Q

~

~What is the CPR cycle?

A

2 Minutes of continuous CPR then rotate positions

50
Q

~

~When do you administer ALS?

A

After BLS and onward to ROSC

51
Q

~

~What tx are included in ALS?

A

Catheter (IV best)

52
Q

~

~Do all CPA patients need fluids?

53
Q

~

~What is the best location for a catheter in a CPR patient (1-4)?

54
Q

~

~What is the caveat when giving rescue meds IT?

A

Must give 3-5x the regular dose

55
Q

~

~What is the caveat when giving rescue meds IP?

A

Takes a long time to absorb, last resort

56
Q

~

~When should you give rescue meds inter cardiac?

A

NEVER! Big No No

57
Q

~

~Best place for IO catheter?

A

Femur! In-between neck & greater trochanter

58
Q

~

~What bones can you place and IO catheter in?

59
Q

~

~When do administer rescue meds (drugs) during CPR?

A

Every other BLS cycle

60
Q

~

~What are the two primary drugs used in CPR?

A

Epinephrine

61
Q

~

~Why do we give Epinephrine during CPR?

A

Vasoconstriction so when ROSC occurs it increases CO

62
Q

~

~Do we use the high or low does of Epinephrine during CPR?

A

LOW DOSE ONLY

63
Q

~

~Why do we give Atropine during CPR?

A

When ROSC occurs it will increase the heart rate increasing CO

64
Q

~

~What other drugs can be given during CPR & why?

A

Vasopressin - vasoconstriction

65
Q

~

~When are fluids indicated in CPR?

A

Active hemorrhage

66
Q

~

~What heart rhythm is the ONLY on you use a defibrillator on?

A

Ventricular Fibrillation/flutter

67
Q

~

~What is the goal of defibrillation?

68
Q

~

~How many shocks per round of BLS?

69
Q

~

~When monitoring the ECG what are the most common arrhythmias from most to least?

70
Q

~

~When should you assess ECG?

A

During rotation of 2min cycle or at direction of leader

71
Q

~

~Should you monitor BP during CPR?

A

NO its not true anyway

72
Q

~

~What should you do instead of monitoring BP?

A

Someone monitor femoral pulse

73
Q

~

~What can monitoring femoral pulse tell you during CPR?

A

If you are compressing the chest enough to move blood (you should be creating a pulse with each compression)

74
Q

~

~Why is ETCO2 such a good monitor to have during CPR?

A

First indicator of ROSC

75
Q

~

~What will ETCO2 be during CPR before ROSC?After?

A

Very Low 2-5 then once ROSC it shoots up!

76
Q

~

~Are taking an ABG or Electrolytes indicated during CPA? After ROSC?

77
Q

~

~What are the indications for open chest CPR?

A

Thoracic wall defect/trauma

78
Q

~

~What additional equipment is needed to preform open chest CPR?

79
Q

~

~Do you need to sterilely prep the pt to open the chest for CPR?

A

No they are dead

80
Q

~

~What are the steps to open chest CPR?

A

Rt Lat Recumbency

81
Q

~

~Why should you stay above the chondral costal jxn when entering the thorax for open CPR?

A

Don’t what to cut the internal thoracic artery and cause them to bleed out

82
Q

~

~What are some complications that can occur with open chest CPR?

A

Lung Laceration

83
Q

~

~How can you try to prevent lung laceration when entering the thoracic cavity for open CPR?

A

Have IPPV person pause and allow the lungs to deflate

84
Q

~

~What should you do after ROSC?

85
Q

~

~What should you monitor after ROSC?

86
Q

~

~What may you need if ROSC happens during open CPR?

A

Anesthesia (propofol, iso)

87
Q

~

~Why is debriefing after CPR so important?

A

Improves team work
