What is I/O
A patient in v.fib requires immediate CPR and this.
What is defibrillation?
A rapid heart rate that originates in the the ventricles of the heart which may present with or without a pulse.
What is Ventricular tachycardia (V. Tach)
Supplemental oxygen should be started when the O2 sat is less than this for a stroke.
What is les than 94%
A patient in an unstable 3rd degree heart block requires this.
What is pacing
Primary focus of the CPR coach
What is ensuring high quality CPR
Medication used in a patient with unstable bradycardia.
What is Atropine
Most important test/procedure to perform when a conscious patient c/o's chest pain
What is a 12 lead ECG
Continued electrical rhythmicity of the heart with the absence of effective mechanical function
What is Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA)
Critical action performed by EMS that will expedite care on arrival and reduce time to treatment for a stroke patient.
What is pre-hospital notification
This is the minimum systolic BP on a patient who achieved ROSC that should be treated with fluid and/or vasopressors.
What is 90?
Maximum time interval of interruption in chest compressions
What is 10 seconds
Medication used in a patient with refractory v.fib despite a dose of epi.
What is Amiodarone or Lidocaine
Administer this if a patient with chest pain is short of breath, shows signs of heart failure or the O2 sat is less than 90%
What is oxygen?
A heart rate greater than 150 and requires synchronized cardioversion is in this rhythm.
Unstable SVT
Treatment when the Last Known Well time is no more than 4.5 hours and the stroke is ischemic.

Reason capnography is less than 8 mm Hg during a code blue
What is poor quality CPR
Medication used for stable narrow complex SVT
What is adenosine
