RESUSCITATION - Adult Resuscitation

Which of the following is the primary goal of rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in cardiogenic shock?

• To administer pain relief

• To secure the airway quickly and safely

• To reduce blood pressure

• To increase cardiac output

What is the first step in preparing for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in cardiogenic shock?

• Confirming the patient's identity

• Checking equipment functionality

• Administering sedatives

• Assessing breath sounds

What is the purpose of preoxygenation before intubation in cardiogenic shock?

• To induce sedation

• To decrease oxygen levels in the blood

• To maximize oxygen reserves in the lungs

• To decrease heart rate

Which of the following medications is commonly used as a pretreatment agent in RSI for cardiogenic shock?

• Furosemide

• Nitroglycerin

• Lidocaine

• Atropine

What is the primary function of the paralytic agent used in RSI for cardiogenic shock?

• To decrease blood pressure

• To induce relaxation of skeletal muscles

• To increase respiratory rate

• To improve cardiac output

Where should the endotracheal tube be placed during intubation in cardiogenic shock?

• In the esophagus

• In the left mainstem bronchus

• In the trachea

• In the right mainstem bronchus

What is a critical component of post-intubation care in cardiogenic shock?

• Administering oral medications

• Monitoring for signs of infection

• Securing the endotracheal tube

• Applying heat packs to the extremities

What should be assessed immediately after intubation in cardiogenic shock?

• Blood sugar levels

• Heart rate

• Breath sounds

• Skin temperature

In cardiogenic shock, why is it important to ensure proper placement of the endotracheal tube?

• To prevent aspiration of gastric contents

• To reduce oxygen saturation levels

• To facilitate vocalization

• To decrease cardiac output

Which of the following complications should be closely monitored for in post-intubation care of cardiogenic shock patients?

• Increased blood pressure

• Hypothermia

• Bradycardia

• Endotracheal tube displacement
