    Study Notes

    Performance Evaluation Checklist - NCM 118

    • Team Leader: Ensure high-quality CPR, assign roles, ensure effective team member performance.

    • Bradycardia Management: Start oxygen, place monitor (start IV), correct position, recognize symptomatic bradycardia, administer atropine, prepare for secondary treatment.

    • VF/Pulseless V-tach Management: Recognize VF, clear for analysis and shock, resume CPR after shocks, appropriate airway management, administer drugs, adjust cycle based on rhythm/shock-CPR.

    • Asystole Management: Recognize asystole, verbalize potential causes (H's & T's), administer appropriate drugs, resume CPR after checks.

    • Post Cardiac Arrest Care: Identify ROSC, ensure BP, EKG, oxygenation monitoring, advanced airway and waveform capnography & lab tests, targeted temperature management.
