ACLS Bradycardia Quiz

Which drugs are involved in the Bradycardia Algorithm?

Bradyarrhythmia is defined as:

Signs of symptomatic bradycardia include hypotension and acute heart failure

The primary decision point in the bradycardia algorithm is the determination of:

After it is determined that the patient does not have adequate perfusion your first step is to:

What is the first-line agent for the treatment of symptomatic bradycardia?

Which rhythm is most likely to be associated with symptomatic bradycardia?

The correct dose of dopamine given in the bradycardia algorithm is:

The key clinical question when determining steps to take for the patient with symptomatic bradycardia is:

The treatment sequence for bradycardia with poor perfusion is:

Transcutaneous pacing should be started immediately if:

If transcutaneous pacing is ineffective for symptomatic bradycardia, the next step would be to prepare for:

Atropine doses of less than 0.5 mg may paradoxically result in further slowing of the heart rate.

For bradycardia unresponsive to atropine, what other drug should be considered?

If atropine fails, the treatment of choice for symptomatic bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion is ____________.

The correct dose of epinephrine given in the bradycardia algorithm is:

The correct dose of atropine given in the bradycardia algorithm is:

For transcutaneous pacing, the current milliamperes (mA) output should be:

For transcutaneous pacing, the demand rate should be set at:

After initiating external pacing, you should assess the carotid pulse to confirm mechanical capture.

Preparation for transcutaneous pacing (standby pacing) should be made for which of the following?

If transcutaneous pacing and drugs fail, what would be your next intervention?

Transcutaneous pacing is contraindicated in the patient with ________________.
