PALS PRETEST
You are caring for a 3-year-old with vomiting and diarrhea. You have established IV access. The child's pulses are palpable, but faint, and the child is now lethargic.
The HR is variable (range: 44-62 bpm). You begin bag-mask ventilation with
100% oxygen. When the HR does not improve, you begin chest compressions. The rhythm shown here is seen on the cardiac monitor. What would be the most appropriate therapy to consider next?transcutaneous pacing
A 4-year-old boy is in pulseless arrest in the pediatric ICU. High-quality CPR is in progress. You quickly review his chart and find that this baseline-corrected QTI on a 12-lead EKG is prolonged. The monitor shows recurrent episodes of the rhythm shown here. The has received 1 dose of epi 0.01mg/kg, but the rhythm shown here continues. If this rhythm persists at the next rhythm check, what medication would be most appropriate to administer at that time?MgSO4 25-50 mg/kg IV 1 / 3
You and another rescuer begin CPR. Your colleague begins compressions, and you notice that the compression rate is too low. What should you say to offer constructive feedback?'You need to compress at a rate of 100-120/min'
You are alone and witness a child suddenly collapse. There is no suspected head or neck injury. A colleague responded to your shout for help and is activating the emergency response system and is retrieving the resuscitation equipment, including a defibrillator. After delivering 30 compressions, what would be your next action?one the airway with a head tilt-chin lift maneuver and give 2 breaths A 9-year-old boy is agitated and leaning forward on the bed in obvious respiratory distress. The patient is speaking in short phrases and tells you that he has asthma but does not carry an inhaler. He has nasal flaring, severe suprasternal and intercostal retractions, and decreased air movement with prolonged expiratory time and wheezing. You administer 100% oxygen by a nonrebreathing mask. His SpO2 is 92%. What medication do you prepare to give to this patient?albuterol You are part of a team attempting to resuscitate a child with vfib cardiac arrest.You delivered 2 unsynchronized shocks. A team member established IO access, so you give a dose of epi, 0.01mg/kg IO. At the next rhythm check, persistent vfib is present. You administer a 4 J/kg shock and resume CPR. What should be administered next?amiodarone 5mg/kg IO 2 / 3
Sinus tachycardia
Sinus bradycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia
Asystole
Wide-complex tachycardia
Ventricular fibrillation with successful defibrillation and resumption of organized rhythm
