Identify The ECG Strip - answer Sinus Bradycardia Identify The ECG Strip - answer Supraventricular Tachycardia A monitored patient in the ICU developed a sudden onset of narrow-complex tachycardia at a rate of 220/min. The patient's blood pressure is 128/58 mm Hg, the PETCO2 is 38 mm Hg, and the pulse oximetry reading is 98%. There is vascular access in the left arm, and the patient has not been given any vasoactive drugs. A 12-lead ECG confirms a supraventricular tachycardia with no evidence of ischemia or infarction. The heart rate has not responded to vagal maneuvers. What is your next action?Administer amiodarone 300 mg IV push Administer adenosine 6 mg IV push Perform synchronized cardioversion at 200 J Perform synchronized cardioversion at 50 J - answer Administer adenosine 6 mg IV push You are caring for a 66-year-old man with a history of a large intracerebral hemorrhage

• months ago. He is being evaluated for another acute stroke. The CT scan is negative

for hemorrhage. The patient is receiving oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 L/min, and an IV has been established. His blood pressure is 180/100 mm Hg. Which drug do you anticipate giving to this patient?Aspirin rtPA Glucose (D50) Nicardipine - answer Aspirin A patient is in pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Two shocks and 1 dose of epinephrine have been given. Which drug should be given next?Epinephrine 3 mg Lidocaine 0.5 mg/kg Amiodarone 300 mg Adenosine 6 mg - answer Amiodarone 300 mg A patient with possible STEMI has ongoing chest discomfort. What is a contraindication to nitrate administration?Heart rate less than 90/min Use of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor within the previous 24 hours Anterior wall myocardial infarction Systolic blood pressure greater than 180 mm Hg - answer Use of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor within the previous 24 hours
