deliver ventilations over 1 second every 6 to 8 seconds
What else can I help you with?
How do you ventilate a cardiac arrest patient with a confirmed advanced airway in place?
deliver ventilations over 1 second every 6 to 8 seconds
What is the proper ventilation rate for a patient in cardiac arrest who has a advanced airway in place?
One breath every 5 seconds
What advanced airway is inappropriate for a patient at high risk of vomiting and aspiration?
uncuffed endotraceal tub
What do you do for the fifth step of the head-tilt and chin-lift maneuver?
the triple airway manouver consists of a head tilt, chin lift and jaw thrust. this is done when you are preparing to ventilate your patient and assists in opening the airway to allow better airflow. i've never heard of a 5 step manouver.
What is the potential danger of using ties that passed circumferentially around the patient's neck when securing an advanced airway?
obstructing venous return from the brain
In Advanced Cardiac Life Support what does a b c d e f g h i stand for?
Not completely sure, but in BCLS A, B, C stands for Airway, Breathing, and Circulation.
What type of anesthesia do they give you for a thyroidectomy?
The operation begins when an anesthesiologist puts the patient to sleep. The anesthesiologist injects drugs into the patient's veins and then places an airway tube in the windpipe to ventilate (provide air for) the patient.
What is the best strategy for performing high quality CPR on a patient with an advanced airway in place?
- Provide continuous chest compressions without pauses at 10 bpm
What is the initial priority for an unconscious patient with any tachycardia on the monitor?
The initial priority for an unconscious patient with tachycardia is to ensure their airway is secure and assess their breathing and circulation. Immediate interventions may include administering oxygen, establishing intravenous access, and monitoring vital signs. If the patient is unstable, advanced cardiac life support protocols may be initiated, including potential defibrillation if indicated. Rapid identification and treatment of the underlying cause of the tachycardia are also essential.
What are ACLS algorithms used for?
ACLS stands for advanced cardiac life support. ACLS algorithms are a standard set of treatments that are followed to improve the effectiveness of the care given to the patient. The algorithms are usually in the form of a Yes / No flow chart.
What technology do paramedics use the most?
Paramedics primarily rely on advanced medical equipment and technology, including automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for cardiac emergencies, portable ventilators for respiratory support, and advanced airway management devices. They also use mobile data terminals for communication and access to patient information, as well as GPS systems for navigation to emergency sites. Additionally, they often utilize monitoring devices to track vital signs, ensuring timely and effective patient care.
Can you use a nasopharyngeal airway in a patient with an endotracheal tube?
No, a nasopharyngeal airway should not be used in a patient with an endotracheal tube in place. The endotracheal tube already secures the airway and provides ventilation, making the use of a nasopharyngeal airway unnecessary and potentially harmful. Introducing a nasopharyngeal airway could cause trauma to the airway or displace the endotracheal tube.
