Why should therapeutic hypothermia be considered in an adult comatose person during the post-cardiac arrest period?Question 69Answera.To prevent tachycardiab.To prevent sepsisc.To re-establish circulationd.To protect the brain/organs

20. Which statement is correct concerning neurological assessment during post-resuscitation management?Dilated unresponsive pupils, hypertension, bradycardia, respiratory irregularities, or apnea may indicate cerebrat hemiationProlonged hypoventilation is suggested for imminent cerebral herniation Hypothermia should be elicty avoided. Seizures should not be treated21. Which statement concerning ventricular tachycardia is NOT correct?Ventricular tachycardia is very common in childrenVentricular tachycardia most often occurs in children with underlying cardiac disease or in children who have had heart surgeryVentricular tachycardia can result from electrolyte disturbabcesVentricular tachvcardia is a wide complex rhythm

Irreversible coma and cardiac arrest can result from injury to:

A 25-year-old male was pulled comatose from the bottom of a private swimming pool. Immersion time was unknown. His pupils were dilated, and his breathing was agonal. CPR was initiated at the scene, and the paramedics intubated him at once. Which of the following electrolyte disorder is most likely to be the cause of the cardiac arrest?Question 96Answera.Hypokalemia.b.Hypomagnesemiac.Hypocalcemiad.Hyponatremia.

37. Which statement is correct concerning pharmacological support during post-resuscitation management?Dobutamine generally decreases myocardial contractility.Milrinone and inamrinone always increase heart rate and myocardial demand.Treat hypotension with vasopressors if needed, titrated to BP.In infants, with significant circulatory instability and hypotensive shock, do not administer epinephrine38. The most common forms of distributive shock include all of the following EXCEPT:Cardiogenic shockAnaphylactic shockNeurogenic shockSeptic shock39. Initial management of respiratory distress or failure include:Suctioning and providing supplemental oxygenOpening and supporting the airwayAssessing oxygenation with a pulse oximeterAll of the above

What will CPR do to help a person in cardiac arrest?increase action potential in the hearttemporarily supply body with oxygen until help arrivesdecrease action potential
