This person is knowledgeable of resuscitation efforts and patient physiology and commands the resuscitation efforts
The anesthesia provider
100
A cardiac standstill that represents total absence of the electrical cardiac activity, reflected as a straight line on an ECG strip
Asystole
100
Found at the bottom of the crash cart
Documentation record
100
initiated immediately to restore oxygenation to vital organs
CPR
100
This drug may be given after other resuscitation measures to reverse acidosis
Sodium bicarbonate
200
Initiates the code and summon for help
Circulating nurse
200
Confirmation of cardiac arrest
Lack of a palpable carotid pulse
200
first drawer of the crash cart
medication drawers
200
To prevent fractures, this part of the sternum should never be compressed
xiphoid process at the tip of the sternum
200
A drug classification that relaxes smooth muscle in the capillaries and cause peripheral dilation. They dilate arteries and veins almost equally without increasing myocardial contractility. This reduces venous return to heart. They are used to alter blood flow and lower blood pressure in patients who have severely reduced cardiac output or are in hypertensive crisis
Vasodilators
300
This person treats the cause of the arrest as required
Surgeon
300
A rapid tachycardia (160-250 beats/minute) where the ventricles are contracting too rapidly to allow blood to enter from the atrium and as a result blood is not circulated
Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT)
300
The only crash cart that has sterile internal paddles
Crash cart by theatre 9
300
This may be performed if the patient’s chest is already open
Internal cardiac compression
300
Primary drug used in cardiopulmonary arrest
Atropine
400
Off-shift times the support staff is minimal, so this person becomes the runner.
Scrub nurse
400
This rhythm should be treated immediately with defibrillation
Ventricular Fibrillation
400
a HIGH ENERGY shock which is delivered as soon as the shock button is pushed on a defibrillator
Defibrillation / Unsynchronized cardioversion
400
Constricted, reactive pupils, palpable peripheral pulse, audible heartbeat, improvement in color of the mucous membranes, skin, and blood - These are signs of
Signs of effective compression
400
Plays an essential role in restoration of spontaneous circulation in asystole; therefore it is the first drug administered in cardiac arrest
Epinephrine
500
This person alerts the ICU of a potential patient admission
OR manager
500
an isolated electrical activity in the heart which occurs sporadically.
Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA)
500
a LOW ENERGY SHOCK that uses a sensor to deliver electricity that is synchronized with the peak of the QRS complex (the highest point of the R-wave).
Synchronized cardioversion
500
When IV access is unavailable, this route is recommended
intraosseous (IO)
500
Used for ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, especially if resistance to defibrillation effort occurs
