25. Which statement about cardiovascular support during post-resuscitation management is NOT correct?Cardiac dysfunction can last for hours after resuscitationInvasive techniques should never be used to monitor blood pressure in individuals with poor perfusion or frequent arrhythmia. Shock and respiratory failure may produce decreased tissue perfusion and oxygenation, which may cause continued cardiovascular problems. You should monitor urine output

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

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

Choose the correct statement regarding end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) measurement during resuscitation.Question 51Answera.During CPR, survival is increased if ETCO2 is kept below 10 mmHg.b.There is a strong correlation between coronary perfusion pressure and ETCO2.c.Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) results in an immediate decrease in ETCO2.d.In a normal patient, ETCO2 is approximately 15-20 mmHg lower than PACO2.
