PALS Tachycardia Practice Questions

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

1.What is the most common tachyarrhythmia that causes cardiovascular compromise during infancy? *
2.Which of the following electrolyte disturbances would not lead to ventricular tachycardia? *
3.How long is a normal QRS duration in pediatric patients? *
4.Undetected tachyarrhythmias can ultimately lead to congestive heart failure (CHF) if left untreated for prolonged periods. Which of the following signs would not serve as an indication of infanthood CHF? *
5.Coronary perfusion can be significantly decreased during a tachyarrhythmia. Such perfusion changes are caused by a decrease in the duration of what cardiovascular component? *
6.Which of the following arrhythmias have a QRS complex duration greater than 0.09 seconds? *
7.According to the ILCOR PALS Provider Manual, classic sawtooth P-wave activity on the ECG monitor would be indicative of which of the following arrhythmias? *
8.What is the most important intervention in cases of stable and unstable sinus tachycardia involving a narrow QRS complex? *
9.What is the most important intervention for a child experiencing ventricular tachycardia with a pulse, inadequate perfusion, and signs of shock? *
10.What first-line medication is recommended for use in cases of supraventricular tachycardia? *
