Which is an acceptable method of selecting an appropriately sized oropharyngeal airway? and operates the AED/monitor or defibrillator. The leader should state early on that they are assuming the role of team leader. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Tachycardia: Stable and Unstable > Rhythms for Unstable Tachycardia; pages 129-130, and The Approach to Unstable Tachycardia > Signs and Symptoms; page 131]. place simultaneously in order to efficiently, In order for this to happen, it often requires Which is the recommended first intravenous dose of amiodarone for a patient with refractory ventricular fibrillation? You instruct a team member to give 0.5 mg atropine IV. [ACLS Provider Manual, Part 5: The ACLS Cases > Tachycardia: Stable and Unstable > Application of the Tachycardia Algorithm to the Stable Patient > Narrow QRS, Regular Rhythm; page 143], D. Continuous waveform capnography The AHA recommends continuous waveform capnography in addition to clinical assessment as the most reliable method of confirming and monitoring correct placement of an endotracheal tube. If a team member is about to make a mistake during a resuscitation attempt, which best describes the action that the team leader or other team members should take? Code team leaders who embrace their position tend to have more effective leadership, better team coordination, and overall superior performance. Question 3 from the first paper of 2001 (and no other question since) asked the candidates about the role and responsibilities of the medical team leader in a cardiac arrest. If the patient is not responsive to the first dose, a second dose of adenosine (12 mg rapid IV push) should be given. Which is the appropriate treatment? the roles of those who are not available or During the speech, the 72-year-old representative of the farmers association in the audience suddenly fell down.
