Cardiac Management NCM 118

Performance Evaluation Checklist - NCM 118

• Team Leader Criteria:

  • Ensure high-quality CPR at all times
  • Assign team roles
  • Ensure team members perform well

• Bradycardia Management:

  • Start oxygen if needed, place monitor, start IV
  • Place monitor in proper position
  • Recognize symptomatic bradycardia
  • Administer correct atropine dose
  • Prepare for secondary treatment

• VF/Pulseless V-tach Management:

  • Recognize ventricular fibrillation (VF)
  • Defibrillate after checking for clearance
  • Immediately resume CPR after shocks
  • Provide appropriate airway management
  • Administer drugs based on rhythm checks and shocks
  • Administer appropriate drug doses

• Asystole Management:

  • Recognize asystole
  • Identify potential reversible causes (H's & Ts)
  • Provide appropriate drug doses
  • Immediately resume CPR after rhythm checks

• Post Cardiac Arrest Care:

  • Identify return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)
  • Ensure blood pressure (BP), 12-lead ECG, monitor oxygen saturation (O2 sat), improved airway and waveform capnography, and complete lab tests.
  • Perform targeted temperature management.

Test your knowledge on the essential procedures and criteria for effective cardiac management in emergency situations. This quiz covers bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole management, and post-cardiac arrest care, ensuring that you are well-equipped to handle critical cases. Assess your understanding of team roles and treatment protocols in NCM 118.
