PALS Post-Cardiac Arrest Care Practice Questions

Studying for Pediatric Advanced Life Support? Prepare for the Pediatric Advanced Life Support by practicing on the PALS Post-Cardiac Arrest Care questions provided below. The practice questions are derived from the PALS provider handbook and adhere to the latest ILCOR and ECC guidelines.

1.Treating post-cardiac arrest shock falls under which organ system? *
2.What is the most reliable method for immediate detection of inadvertent extubation when evaluating the respiratory system during a post-cardiac arrest case? *
3.What PALS algorithm is used during the post-cardiac arrest phase? *
4.The goal of optimization and stabilization of the respiratory system during the post-cardiac arrest phase includes which variable(s)? *
5.Compared to a healthy child, a patient with anemia will typically have an altered oxygen carrying capacity of their red blood cells (RBCs). How is this capacity affected? *
6.Generally, PaCO2 can be used to guide ventilatory support as needed. Ventilations should be administered to target a normal PaCO2 range of: *
7.An effective way to determine ventilatory status in the post-arrest phase would be to monitor the removal of what component from the lungs? *
8.In an emergency, mild hyperventilation is recommended to prevent what condition? *
9.Which of the following can directly improve cardiovascular preload? *
10.Cardiovascular afterload may need to be increased or decreased during the post-cardiac phase. What is the best method for achieving this? *
