Jeopardy Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular 1

100

If a patient has inadequate breathing, this would be the first treatment 

BVM

200

This device is implanted and can provide a shock when the patient is in a shockable rhythm

Automatic Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator

300

This is the number of non-shockable rhythms in cardiac arrest

2

Pulseless Electrical Activity

Asystole

400

A systolic blood pressure greater than this is considered a hypertensive emergency

180mmHg

500

This is the definition of cardiac output

How much blood the heart pumps in one minute

Cardiovascular 2

100

This is the number of shockable rhythms in cardiac arrest

2

Ventricular Fibrillation

Ventricular Tachycardia

200

This is when the aorta has a tear and begins to bleed outside of its structure

Aortic Rupture

300

The parasympathetic nervous system is often referred to as this

Rest and Digest

400

This is a blood clot floating through blood vessels

Thromboembolism

500

This is when the heart muscles oxygen requirements are not met by the amount of blood flow

Angina Pectoris

Cardiovascular 3

100

This side of the heart is filled with oxygenated blood

Left

200

These are the upper chambers of the heart

Atria

300

A 12Lead ECG consists of how many electrodes

10

4 Limb

6 Precordial

400

If bystanders are performing CPR, this should be your first evaluation upon arrival on scene

Check a pulse while CPR is being performed

500

This allows for spontaneous contraction without stimulus from a nerve impulse

Automaticity

Cardiovascular 4

100

This is what LVAD stands for

Left Ventricular Assist Device

200

The sympathetic nervous system is often referred to as this

Fight or Flight

300

This side of the heart is filled with deoxygenated blood

Right

400

This is when there is a small tear in the inner lining of the aorta and blood is forced between the layers

Aortic Dissection

500

This is the secondary (back-up) pacemaker in the heart

AV Node

Cardiovascular 5

100

This cardiac medication that can be given by an EMT can cause a drop in blood pressure

Nitroglycerine

200

These are the lower chambers of the heart

Ventricles

300

This mnemonic is used to assess the chest pain patients symptoms

OPQRST

400

This is when the heart muscle is acutely unable to pump to meet the body's needs

Cardiogenic Shock

500

This muscle must have a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients to function properly

Myocardium
