It's Electric
This is the delivery of unsynchronized electrical energy to the heart
What is defibrillation?
This rhythm has a rate of greater than 150
What is SVT
This gas supports combustion and should be removed before electrical energy is delivered to a patient
What is oxygen?
This is the preferred vascular access during a cardiac arrest
What is intraosseous (IO)?
Causes by lack of oxygen and causes LOC, skin color, and bradycardia
What is Hypoxia?
Procedure to restore normal heart rhythm
What is cardioversion?
With this rhythm the PRI lengthens until a QRS complex is dropped
What is a 2nd degree Type I AVB (Wenkeback)
Combo pads should not be placed over these
What are pacemakers and defibrillators
Preferred route of administering medications during a code
What is intravenous (IV)?
Caused by lack of fluid and results in hypotension and sinus tachycardia
What is hypovolemia?
These must be used for continuous EKG monitoring when combo pads on in place
What are EKG cables?
What is 3rd degree (complete) heart block
The button must be pushed every time synchronized cardioversion is performed
What is the sync button?
This drug can be given every 3-5 minutes.
What is Epinephrine?
Treatment for this is needle decompression and chest tube.
What is a tension pneumothorax?
This setting on the LifePak15 is used when someone's heart rate is too slow to perfuse the body
What is pace?
With this rhythm the P wave can be before, burried in, or after the QRS complex
What is a PJC?
This action is taken immediately before delivering electrical energy to a patient
What is clear the patient?
This Anticholinergic causes increased heart rate with side effects being dry mouth, palpitations, blurred vision, and headaches.
What is Atropine?
Causes muffled heart sounds, narrow pulse, hypotension, and sinus tachycardia
What is a cardiac tamponade?
These are the recommended energy settings for defibrillation of an adult
What is 200,300,360
This rhythm is treated with Magnesium
What is Torsades
As long as this device is connected to the Lifepak15, no injury will occur when energy is delivered in the test mode
What is the test load adapter?
This antidysrhythmic cautions use with Beta blockers and Calcium channel blockers.
What is Amiodarone?
Treatment for acidosis (Hydrogen ion excess)
What is ventilation with a BVM or Sodium Bicarb?
