Supraventricular tachycardia with ischemic chest pain, A. 0000058084 00000 n Capnography shows a persistent waveform and a PETCO2 of 8 mm Hg. Now that you understand the importance of understanding the roles and responsibilities of each team member, let's look at some common duties and requirements for each. 10 seconds ACLS providers must make every effort to minimize any interruptions in chest compressions. This team member is also the most likely candidate to share chest compression duties with the compressor. During the speech, the 72-year-old representative of the farmers association in the audience suddenly fell down. 0000014948 00000 n A team member is unable to perform an assigned task because it is beyond the team member's scope of practice. Based on this patients initial presentation, which condition do you suspect led to the cardiac arrest? The team leader is required to have a big-picture mindset. The patient meets the criteria for termination of efforts, C. The team is ventilating the patient too often (hyperventilation), D. Chest compressions may not be effective, D. Chest compressions may not be effective PETCO2 values less than 10 mm Hg in intubated patients indicate that cardiac output is inadequate to achieve return of spontaneous circulation. If the patient is not responsive to the first dose, a second dose of adenosine (12 mg rapid IV push) should be given. In addition to defibrillation, which intervention should be performed immediately? This includes opening the airway and maintaining it.
