Study Notes
Performance Evaluation Checklist - NCM 118
- Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is the focus of the checklist.
- Performance is rated as Progress, Acceptable, or Needs Improvement.
- Team Leader criteria include ensuring high-quality CPR, assigning roles, and ensuring team members perform well.
- Tachycardia Management involves starting oxygen, placing monitors and IVs, recognizing, and treating tachycardia using appropriate drugs (e.g., amiodarone, adenosine).
- VF/Pulseless V-tach Management includes recognizing VF, clearing the patient, shocking, resuming CPR, managing the airway, and administering medications based on rhythm checks.
- PEA Management involves recognizing PEA, identifying reversible causes, administering appropriate medications, and resuming CPR.
- Post Cardiac Arrest Care includes identifying ROSC, monitoring BP and O2 saturation, performing 12-lead ECGs, advancing airways, and conducting capnography and lab tests.
- Targeted Temperature Management is part of the care.

Description
This quiz focuses on the performance evaluation criteria for Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) as outlined in NCM 118. Participants will assess skills such as tachycardia management, VF pulseless V-tach management, PEA management, and post-cardiac arrest care. Test your knowledge on critical elements required for effective ACLS response.
