2 ACLS Prep Preparation is key to a successful ACLS experience. Please complete the ACLS Pretest and Please complete this ACLS Prep.
3 ACLS Prep Preparation is key to a successful ACLS experience. An ACLS Pretest is required for admission to the course. NO ONE will be admitted without printed pretest results. The pretest must be accessed online at: and enter code: compression. Eighty percent achievement is recommended on the pretest. **Because this test is online, we recommend you attempt to access it about 1-week before your course date**.
4 ACLS Prep Preparation is key to a successful ACLS experience. This Powerpoint program has more questions that will highlight key points not addressed in the pretest. Please take the time to look up the information in the Provider Manual. The answers to the questions can be found on the page numbers provided. As of January, 2014, we will no longer ask these questions in the class. Your opportunity to review them is now.
5 ACLS Prep Please be familiar with: 1. The algorithms: Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Pulseless Arrest, ROSC. 2. These drugs: adenosine, amiodarone, atropine, epinephrine, vasopressin. 3. These drips: Dopamine for bradycardia and hypotension and Epinephrine for bradycardia and hypotension. 4. The reversible causes: the Hs and Ts.
6 ACLS: BLS Q. Why are chest compressions advantageous for a pulseless patient? R. Page 14.
7 ACLS: BLS Q. Why are chest compressions advantageous for a pulseless patient? R. Chest compressions provide circulation especially through the heart and brain. Page 14
8 ACLS: BLS Q. Chest compressions are started within how many seconds of determining unresponsiveness? R. Page 13.
9 ACLS: BLS Q. Chest compressions are started within how many seconds of determining unresponsiveness? R. 10 seconds. Page 13
10 ACLS: BLS Q. Chest compressions may be interrupted for procedures, chest compressions are re-started within how many seconds? R. Page 14.
11 ACLS: BLS Q. Chest compressions may be interrupted for procedures, chest compressions are re-started within how many seconds? R. 10 seconds. Page 14
12 ACLS: General Principles Q. What is the purpose of the Rapid Response Team? R. Page 26
13 ACLS: General Principles Q. What is the purpose of the Rapid Response Team? R. Rapid Response Teams provide early assessments and interventions for a person who is declining physiologically with the hope of stabilizing the person and preventing a code blue. Q. 26
14 ACLS: Airway Q. The new standard is to maintain SpO2 between 94% and 99%. Do not leave a patient with an SpO2 of 100% for a prolonged period of time; the PO2 will be between 80 and 300 mmhg. Why is a high PO2 problematic? R. Pages 28, 96-97, www/heart.org/eccstudent
15 ACLS: Airway Q. The new standard is to maintain SpO2 between 94% and 99%. Do not leave a patient with an SpO2 of 100% for a prolonged period of time; the PO2 will be between 80 and 300 mmhg. Why is a high PO2 problematic? R. The patient may develop oxygen toxicity and coronary arteries constrict in the presence of high oxygen concentrations. Think of oxygen as a drug and just as with most drugs too high of a dose will cause toxicity. Pages 28, 96-97
16 ACLS: Airway Q. How is an oropharangeal airway measured? R. Pages
17 ACLS: Airway Q. How is an oropharangeal airway measured? R. Measure an OPA from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the mandible. Pages 42-43

22 ACLS: Defibrillation Q. Why is it a bad idea to allow oxygen to blow over the chest during defibrillation? R. Page 64
23 ACLS: Defibrillation Q. Why is it a bad idea to allow oxygen to blow over the chest during defibrillation? R. Fire may result Q. Page 64
24 ACLS: Defibrillation Q. Why are pads preferred over paddles for defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion? R. Page 64.
25 ACLS: Defibrillation Q. Why are pads preferred over paddles for defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion? R. Even though paddles and pads deliver the same amount of electricity, pads allow for a more rapid shock and reduces the likelihood of arcing. Page 64

Assess Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) (PETCO2 = mmhg) Q. Pages 67, 73, 74, 75, 76
28 ACLS: General Principles Q. A visitor has collapsed in the lobby of the hospital; IV access is needed. Where is the IV started? R. Pages
29 ACLS: General Principles Q. A visitor has collapsed in the lobby of the hospital; IV access is needed. Where is the IV started? R. A peripheral IV is preferred; if an peripheral IV cannot be establish use an IO. Avoid starting a central line because CPR must be interrupted; an existing central line may be used. Pages 69-70
30 ACLS: ROSC Q. What is the ACLS Survey? R. Pages 14 to16, 62.
31 ACLS: ROSC Q. What is the ALCS Survey? R. The ACLS Survey is: A Airway B Breathing C Circulation D Differential Diagnosis. Please look at the content on pages 14 to 16 especially Table 2. Pages 14 to 16, 62

57 ACLS: ACS Q. Nimrod Jones is on your unit and complains of epigastric pain. The blood pressure is 120/70; respirations are 14/min., non-labored, and easy; and SpO2 is 96% on room air. What is the next intervention? R. A 12 lead EKG. If the patient is stable the next step is assessment; not all chest pain is cardiac in nature. This principle applies to all situations, if the patient is stable conduct assessments first. Q. Page 96-97, 119, 136, & 140
58 ACLS: ACS & Stroke Q. The Nimrod Jones Memorial hospital is a STEMI center.

For atrial fibrillation start at 120 to 200 J. Page
78 ACLS: Tachycardia Q. Nimrod Jones has a regular narrow complex tachycardia with a HR of 179, but is stable. What are the first 2 interventions. R. Page 127 and 129.
79 ACLS: Tachycardia Q. Nimrod Jones has a regular narrow complex tachycardia with a HR of 179, but is stable. What are the first 2 interventions. R. Start with vagal maneuvers and if needed Adenosine 6 mg rapid IV push (second dose is 12 mg). Page 127 and 129
80 ACLS: Tachycardia Q. Nimrod Jones has a regular wide complex tachycardia with a HR of 180, but is stable. What are the suggested interventions. R. Page 127 to 129.
81 ACLS: Tachycardia Q. Nimrod Jones has a regular wide complex tachycardia with a HR of 180, but is stable. What are the suggested interventions. R. Always assume a regular wide complex tachycardia is VT until proven otherwise. The treatment for stable VT is Amiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 minutes. This is an appropriate first intervention. The regular wide complex tachycardia may be SVT with aberrancy (SVT with a wide QRS complex) and the AHA recommends Adenosine as an appropriate drug for this rhythm, if Adenosine is not successful use an antidysrhythmic like Amiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 minutes. Adenosine works on SA node and the AV node and is appropriate for SVT, but not for VT. Page 127 to 129
