She has no obvious dependent edema, and her neck veins are flat. This ECG rhythm strip shows ventricular tachycardia. Which immediate postcardiac arrest care intervention do you choose for this patient? Team members should question an order if the slightest doubt exists. If BLS isn't effective, the whole resuscitation process will be ineffective as well. But perhaps the biggest responsibility of the team leader centers on his or her ability to communicate clearly and effectively and explain to team members the specifics of resuscitation care, such as: The team leader assigns the remaining roles to the other team members and makes appropriate treatment decisions based on proper diagnosis and interpretation of the patient's signs and symptoms. 0000002556 00000 n

It is reasonable to consider trying to improve quality of CPR by optimizing chest compression parameters. Which action should the team member take? The team leader is orchestrating the actions of the other team members - who is doing what and when - but also monitoring the others for quality assurance. This will apply in any team environment. D. Once every 5 to 6 seconds For a patient in respiratory arrest with a pulse, deliver ventilations once every 5 to 6 seconds with a bag-mask device or any advanced airway. Team leader instructs a team member to give 0.5 mg of Atropine, to which the team member responds with "I'll draw up 0.5 mg of Atropine." This type of communication is called. A patient has a witnessed loss of consciousness. When you know the roles and responsibilities of each team member, you can anticipate what's coming next, which will increase the ability of the team to communicate, improve the efficiency and performance of the resuscitation, and the chances for the patient to have a positive outcome. During a resuscitation attempt, clear roles and responsibilities should be defined as soon as possible.

Performing synchronized cardioversion Synchronized shocks are recommended for patients with unstable supraventricular tachycardia, unstable atrial fibrillation, unstable atrial flutter, and unstable regular monomorphic tachycardia with pulses. The defibrillator operator should deliver the shock as soon as the compressor removes his or her hands from the patients chest and all providers are clear of contact with the patient.
