What is the recommended range from which a temperature should be selected and maintained constantly to achieve targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest? During a resuscitation attempt, the team leader asks you to administer an initial dose of Epinephrine at 0.1 mg/kg to be given IO. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 3: Effective High-Performance Team Dynamics > Elements of Effective High- Performance Team Dynamics > Roles; page 28]. You are performing chest compressions during an adult resuscitation attempt. If no one person is available to fill the role of time recorder, the team leader will assign these duties to another team member or handle them herself/himself. skills, they are able to demonstrate effective High-quality CPR, A team is attempting to resuscitate a child who was brought to the emergency department by. On the basis of this patient's initial assessment, which ACLS algorithm should you follow? Based on this patients initial presentation, which condition do you suspect led to the cardiac arrest? After your initial assessment of this patient, which intervention should be performed next? [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Immediate PostCardiac Arrest Care Case > Application of the Immediate PostCardiac Arrest Care Algorithm > Targeted Temperature Management; page 151]. and fast enough, because if the BLS is not. to open the airway, but also maintain the, They work diligently to give proper bag-mask Now lets break each of these roles out A. Epinephrine 1 mg For persistent ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia, give 1 shock and resume CPR immediately for 2 minutes after the shock. Ask for a new task or role Not only should everyone on the team know his or her own limitations and capabilities, but the team leader should also be aware of them. D. 300 mg Consider amiodarone for treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to shock delivery, CPR, and a vasopressor. C.
