Q

From RECOVER, what class is amiodarone? (Vaughan Williams classification)

20
Q

From RECOVER, what is the MOA of amiodarone?

A

Classified as class III (potassium channel blocker), but also has Class I, II, and IV activity!

21
Q

From RECOVER, what is the SECOND choice drug for pulseless VT/VF resistant to defibrillation?

22
Q

MgSO4 may be considered for which arrhythmia?

A

Torsades de pointes

23
Q

MOA of impedance threshold device?

A

more negative intrathoracic pressure = more venous return = more cardiac output

24
Q

ITD not recommended in patients weighing less than? Why?

A

10kg. Cannot generate cracking pressure (-12 mmHg)

25
T/F: the use of FIO2 of 21% may be considered
TRUE
26
What is the equation for coronary perfusion pressure?
CPP = aortic diastolic pressure - right atrial diastolic pressure
27
What is the dose of NaHCO3? After how many minutes of CPA would you consider administration?
1 mEq/kg. 10-15 min
