ACLS Guidelines strongly recommend that every effort be made NOT to ______________ ; other less vital interventions (eg, tracheal intubation or administration of medications to treat arrhythmias) are made either __________________ or ____________________.
interrupt CPR;
while CPR is performed
during the briefest possible interruption.
Interventions that cannot be performed while CPR is in progress (eg, defibrillation) should be performed during brief interruptions at __________ intervals (after the completion of a full cycle of CPR).
two minute
Chest compressions must be of sufficient depth (at least _____ cm, or ________ ) & rate (at least _____ per min), & allow for complete recoil of the chest between compressions, to be effective.
5 cm ; 2 inches
100
A ______________________ defibrillation remains the recommended treatment for ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT).
single biphasic
CPR should be performed until the defibrillator is ready for immediate discharge & resumed immediately after the shock is given, (with or without?) pausing to recheck a pulse at that moment.
Without
Interruptions in CPR (eg, for subsequent attempts at defibrillation or pulse checks) should occur no more frequently than every ____________, & for the shortest possible duration.
Patients are often over-___________ during resuscitations, which can compromise _____________ resulting in reduced cardiac output & inadequate cerebral & cardiac perfusion.
two minutes
ventilated
venous return
A 30 to 2 compression to ventilation ratio (one cycle) is recommended in patients without advanced airways.
Asynchronous ventilations at ____ to ____ per minute are administered if an endotracheal tube or extraglottic airway is in place, while continuous chest compressions are performed simultaneously.
____ to ____ ventilations per minute are sufficient and help to prevent over-ventilation.
