This is the normal fetal heart rate range in beats per minute.
What is 120 - 160 bpm
This is the most common cause of death in pelvic fractures.
What is massive hemorrhage
Crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm and jaw is a hallmark of this condition.
What is a myocardial infarction
The presence of this sound during inspiration often indicates upper airway obstruction.

What is the cricoid cartilage
This is the maneuver used to relieve a shoulder dystocia.
What is the McRoberts maneuver
This injury occurs when a penetrating object creates both an entry and exit wound in the chest and is evidenced by diminished lung sounds.

What is eclampsia
Needle decompression for tension pneumothorax is performed at this anatomical location in most protocols.
What is the 2nd intercostal space, midclavicular line
The P waves will march out and the QRS complexes will march out but there is no consistency in the PRI for this cardiac ryhthm.
What is a 3rd Degree or complete heart block
A patient with severe asthma suddenly becomes quiet and stops wheezing. This may indicate this dangerous development.
What is impending respiratory failure
The medication given to prevent hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.
