Advanced Life Support (ALS) Interventions and Management Quiz

Epinephrine is commonly used to increase cardiac output and blood pressure during cardiac arrest.

ALS stands for Advanced Life Support, which involves advanced medical interventions to support critical patients.

Early advanced airway management is not a component of the Chain of Survival, which includes early recognition, early CPR, early defibrillation, and early advanced care.

The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio during adult CPR in advanced life support is 30 compressions to 2 ventilations.

Ventricular fibrillation is typically treated with defibrillation during advanced cardiac life support to restore a normal heart rhythm.

The recommended depth for chest compressions during adult CPR in advanced life support is at least 2 inches (5 cm) to effectively circulate blood.

Epinephrine is commonly used in advanced life support to treat severe allergic reactions by relieving symptoms like airway constriction and hypotension.

The primary goal of airway management in advanced life support is to maintain a patent airway, ensuring proper oxygenation.

The primary purpose of administering atropine in advanced life support is to increase heart rate, particularly in bradycardic conditions.

Capnography is used during advanced life support to confirm proper endotracheal tube placement by monitoring exhaled carbon dioxide levels.

The primary goal of administering intravenous (IV) fluids in advanced life support is to restore blood pressure and support circulation.

Bradycardia is not a potential complication of advanced airway management in advanced life support.
