compression to breath ratio children with 1 rescuer - 30:2 2 rescuer compression to breath ratio? - 15:2 Initial impression of a 2-year old girl shows her to be alert with mild breathing difficulty during inspiration and pale skin color. On primary assessment, she makes high pitched inspiratory sound (mild stridor) when agitated; otherwise, intercoastal retractions. Lung auscultation reveals transmitted upper airway sounds with adequate distal breath sounds bilaterally. Which is the ...

BLS Assessment Verify scene safety Check for responsiveness Shout for help Active the emergency response system Where are pulses checked on a child? Carotid or femoral Where are pulses checked on an infant? Brachial An infant has normal breathing and a pulse, what is the next step? Monitor until emergency responders arrive An infant or child does not have normal breathing but has a pulse, what is the next step? Give 1 breath every 2-3 seconds (about 20-30 breaths/minu...

1. A 5-year-old child presents with lethargy, increased work of breathing, and pale color. The primary assessment reveals that the airway is open and the respiratory rate is 30/min, with crackles heard on auscultation. The cardiac monitor shows sinus tachycardia at a rate of 165/min. The pulse oximeter displays an oxygen saturation of 95% and a pulse rate of 93/min. On the basis of this information, which of the following provides the best interpretation of the oxygen saturation of 95% by pulse ...

10 seconds - A 6 month old infant is unresponsive. You begin checking for breathing at the same time you check for the infants pulse. Which is the maximum time you should spend when trying to simultaneously check for breathing and palpate the infants pulse before starting CPR? Disordered Control of Breathing - A 4 year old child is brought to the emergency department for seizures. The seizures stopped a few minutes ago, but the child continues to have slow and irregular respirations. Wh...

A 12-year-old child being evaluated in the pediatric intensive care unit displays the following ECG waveform. The team interprets this as which arrhythmia? second degree Laboratory tests are ordered for a child who has been vomiting for 3 days and is diaphoretic, tachypneic, lethargic and pale. Which test would the provider use to determine the adequacy of oxygen delivery? Lactate A 9-year-old patient is presenting with decreased breath sounds, bradycardia, slowed respiratory rat...

You are caring for a child who was resuscitated after a drowning event. The child is intubated and ventilated with 100% oxygen with equal breath sounds and exhaled CO2 detected. The heart rate is slow and the monitor shows sinus bradycardia. The skin is cool, mottled, and moist; distal pulses are not palpable and the central pulses are weak. Intravenous access has been established. The core temperature is 37.3oC. Based on the PALS bradycardia algorithm, which of the following should be provided ...
