ACLS Top Exam Questions and answers,
100% Accurate. Rated A+, Approved.
Tell me some requirements for good CPR quality - ✔✔--Push hard (at least 2 inches) and fast (100-120)
and allow complete chest recoil
-Minimize interruptions in compressions
-Avoid excessive ventilation
-Rotate compressor every 2 minutes, or sooner if fatigued
-If no advanced airway, 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio
-Quantitative waveform capnography
*If Petco2 <10 mm Hg, attempt to improve CPR quality
-Intra-arterial pressure
*If relaxation phase (diastolic) pressure <20 mm Hg, attempt to improve CPR quality
What is the typical shock energy for a biphasic defibrillator? - ✔✔-120-200 J (usually 200)
What is the typical shock energy for a monophasic defibrillator? - ✔✔-260 J
What is the typical epi dose (IV/IO)? - ✔✔-1 mg every 3-5 minutes
What is the typical amiodarone IV/IO dose? - ✔✔-First dose: 300 mg bolus
Second dose: 150 mg
Endotracheal intubation or supraglottic advanced airway is used. Just know this! - ✔✔-
What is used to confirm and monitor ET tube placement? - ✔✔-Waveform capnography or capnometry
, Once an advanced airway is in place, how often do you give breaths? - ✔✔-1 breath every 6 seconds (10
breaths/min) with continuous chest compressions
What is ROSC? - ✔✔-Return of spontaneous circulation
What indicates ROSC (maybe?) - ✔✔--Pulse and blood pressure
-Abrupt sustained increase in PETCO2 (typically >40 mm Hg)
-Spontaneous arterial pressure waves with intra-arterial monitoring
What are the reversible causes of cardiac arrest?
Know these super well!! - ✔✔--Hypovolemia
-Hypoxia
-Hydrogen ion (acidosis)
-Hypo/hyperkalemia
-Hypothermia
-Tension pneumothorax
-Tamponade, cardiac
-Toxins
-Thrombosis, pulmonary
-Thrombosis, coronary
What are the shockable rythms? - ✔✔-VF and pVT
Tell me about the cardiac arrest algorithm for VF/pVT - ✔✔-1. Quality CPR, start oxygen, attach
monitor/defibrillator
2. Shock
3. CPR 2 minutes, IV/IO access
4. Is the rhythm shockable?
*No: If ROSC, go to post-cardiac arrest care. If no signs of ROSC, continue CPR and give epi
