BLS Algorithm Quiz 5

1. You are performing single-rescuer CPR to a patient with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest secondary to acute myocardial infarction. What is the chest compression-to-ventilation ratio in CPR for this case?

2. You are the ACLS team leader whose team is attempting to revive a 64-year-old man with cardiac arrest. Your airway team member has tried twice to insert the endotracheal tube to no avail. What should you do in this situation?

3. Your team is resuscitating a patient with pulseless electrical activity secondary to hypoxia from carbon monoxide poisoning. It is imperative that intubation is successful to adequately ventilate the patient, reverse the hypoxia, and achieve return of spontaneous circulation. After inserting an endotracheal tube (ET tube), what is the best indicator that confirms the ET tube placement and gives out vital metrics on the condition of the patient?

4. Your team leader wants you to increase the chest compression rate while performing high-quality CPR. What is the recommended chest compression rate for a patient with cardiac arrest?
