You are treating an 8-year-old with ventricular tachycardia
with pulses and adequate perfusion. You attempted
synchronized cardioversion without success. While
seeking expert consultation, it would be most appropriate
to:
- Administer a loading dose of milrinone
- Consider possible metabolic and toxicologic causes
- Initiate overdrive pacing transcutaneously
- Deliver an unsynchronized shock -
....ANSWER...Consider possible metabolic and toxicologic
causes
You are caring for a 2-year-old unconscious patient who is
intubated and receiving mechanical ventilation. The child's
heart rate suddenly drops to 40/min and his color becomes
mottled. You should respond to these changes by:
1
,- Increasing the ventilator rate
- Increasing tidal volume
- Increasing positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
- Using a resuscitation bag provide manual ventilation with
100% oxygen - ....ANSWER...Using a resuscitation bag
provide manual ventilation with 100% oxygen
You are caring for a 9-month-old patient with pronounced
respiratory distress. You initiated high-flow oxygen using
a nonrebreathing mask about 10 minutes ago and
established intravenous access. Initially the infant's heart
rate was in the 150/min range with strong pulses. Suddenly
the infant's respiratory rate falls to 6/min with significant
intercostals retractions, and little air movement is heard.
The infant becomes cyanotic and the heart rate decreases
to 95/min. Which of the following treatments would be
best for you to provide now?
- Administer epinephrine IV
- Provide bag-mask ventilation
- Administer magnesium sulfate IV
- Intubate and ventilate - ....ANSWER...Provide bag-mask
ventilation
Which of the following is likely to be the most helpful
technique to identify potentially reversible metabolic and
2
,toxic causes during the attempted resuscitation of a young
child in cardiac arrest?
- Obtaining a urine sample for toxicology screen
- Obtaining chest and abdominal radiographs
- Soliciting a history from the caregiver or family
- Obtaining a venous blood gas - ....ANSWER...Soliciting
a history from the caregiver or family
You are caring for a patient who developed a tension
pneumothorax after several hours of positive-pressure
ventilation. Which of the following would be the most
appropriate site for needle decompression?
- Over the third rib at the midclavicular line
- Under the eighth rib at the midaxillary line
- Over the fifth rib at the sternal border
- Under the sixth rib at the midclavicular line -
....ANSWER...Over the third rib at the midclavicular line
You attempted synchronized cardioversion for an infant
with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and poor
perfusion. The SVT persists after the initial 1 J/kg shock.
Which of the following should you attempt now?
3
, - Synchronized cardioversion at a dose of 2 J/kg
- Synchronized cardioversion at a dose of 4 J/kg
- Unsynchronized cardioversion at a dose of 2 J/kg
- Unsynchronized cardioversion at a dose of 4 J/kg -
....ANSWER...Synchronized cardioversion at a dose of 2
J/kg
You are treating a 5-month-old with a 2-day history of
vomiting and diarrhea. The patient is listless. The
respiratory rate is 52/min and unlabored. The heart rate is
170/min and pulses are present but weak. Capillary refill is
delayed. You are administering high-flow oxygen, and
intravenous access is in place. At this point the most
important therapy is to:
- Administer an epinephrine bolus
- Begin bag-mask ventilation
- Provide a rapid 20 ml/kg isotonic crystalloid fluid bolus
- Administer a bolus of 0.5 g/kg of dextrose -
....ANSWER...Provide a rapid 20 ml/kg isotonic
crystalloid fluid bolus
Which of the following groups of clinical findings would
be most consistent with categorizing a patient with
compensated shock?
- Normal systolic blood pressure, decreased level of
4
