Question

True False 10. True or False: There is never a pulse associated with VF; therefore, you should follow the PEA algorithm with individuals in VF True oFalse 11. True or False: If the AED advises no shock, you should still defibrillate because defibrillation often restarts the heart with no pulse. ("Truc oFalse 12.True or False: Transcutaneous pacing should be used on a bradycardie individual with insufficient perfusion before any other intervention. True ° ? False 13.

All of the following are examples of advanced airways EXCEPT: o Esophageal-tracheal tube (combitube) o Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Endotracheal tube (ET tube) o Oropharyngeal airway (OPA) following reasons EXCEPT: 16. Early defibrillation is critical for individuals with sudden cardiac arrest for the

Explanation / Answer

10. False, PEA is different from ventricular fibrillation. The pharmacological treatment are same but a defibrillator is used in ventricular fibrillation not in PEA.

11. False, if a AED advices no shock ,then shock must not be given to the patient because AED senses the rhythm.of electrical activity of the heart and based on that it decides for shock and CPR Must be continued until help arrives.

12. False, transcutaneous pacing should be used only after the failure of other interventions like atropine therapy.

13. False, not only medications ,cardioversion and defibrillators are also used to treat unstable tachycardia.

14. Interruptions in chest compression should be no longer than 10 seconds for the effective restoration of blood into the circulation and early recovery of patient.

15. Oropharyngeal airway is not an advanced airway. It is an adjunct airway to open and maintain the open airway by preventing tongue from closing the epiglottitis.
