Compression/ Ventilation ratio for one rescuer? Two? - Precise Answer
✔✔1 rescuer = 30:2
2 rescuers = 30:2
Pediatric 2 rescuer is 15:2 but otherwise stays the same
What is the proper compression rate in CPR? - Precise Answer ✔✔100-
120 per minute
Compression rate for: Adults
Children?
Infants: - Precise Answer ✔✔Adults: 2 inches
Children: 1/3 depth of chest or 2 in
Infants: 1.5 inches
What are 2 rhythms are considered "shockable" rhythms? - Precise
Answer ✔✔Ventricular Fibrilation
Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia
Use the following terms to describe the flow of blood throughout the
body:
,Atrium, Ventricle, arteries, veins, aorta, pulmonary artery, pulmonary
vein, capillaries, vena cava, arterioles. - Precise Answer ✔✔1.
Deoxygenated blood travels through the superior and inferior vena cava
to the right atrium
2. The blood is pumped by the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to
the lungs. This is where the blood is oxygenated before being sent back
through pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
3. Blood flows into the left ventricle, which is responsible for pumping
blood into the aorta and out through arteries to the body.
4. Arteries branch off into arterioles, then to capillaries, which is where
nutrient exchange occurs with cells.
5. Last, blood flows back into the veins, into the superior and inferior
vena cava before returning to the heart.
What are two important roles of red blood cells? - Precise Answer
✔✔Transport oxygen to the cells
Transport carbon dioxide to the lungs
7 signs of cardiac comporomise - Precise Answer ✔✔1. abnormal blood
pressure
2. pain, pressure, or discomfort in the chest or abdomen
3. shortness of breath
4. palpitations
5. anxiety or irritability
6. abnormal pulse
7. Sudden onset of nausea or vomiting
, You auscultate your patient's lungs and find crackles with difficulty
breathing. Which side of the heart is affected and why? - Precise Answer
✔✔Shortness of breath with crackles in the lungs is indicative of left-
sided heart failure. Failure of the left ventricle to pump blood effectively
causes blood to be backed up to into the lungs (congested)
Right-sided heart failure causes blood to backup into body, causing
pitting edema throughout the body. What's the cause and name of this
condition? - Precise Answer ✔✔Cor Pulmonale. The usual cause is
pulmonary disease, such as pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary
stenosis (obstruction in the P.A)
Preload - Precise Answer ✔✔Preload, also known as the left ventricular
end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), is the amount of ventricular stretch at
the end of diastole. Think of it as the heart loading up for the next big
squeeze of the ventricles during systole. Some people remember this by
using an analogy of a balloon - blow air into the balloon and it stretches;
the more air you blow in, the greater the stretch
Afterload - Precise Answer ✔✔Afterload, also known as the systemic
vascular resistance (SVR), is the amount of resistance the heart must
overcome to open the aortic valve and push the blood volume out into
the systemic circulation. If you think about the balloon analogy,
afterload is represented by the knot at the end of the balloon. To get the
air out, the balloon must work against that knot.
List two organs in the right upper quadrant - Precise Answer ✔✔
