I was confused by the term “cardiac arrest” in question 9. Does that not include asystole which would not include defibrillation?
Love this sight, it’s the second time I have used for ACLS! Many thanks

Question #9 reads: “9. The most important intervention with witnessed sudden cardiac arrest is:”
The most likely cause of witnessed sudden cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation which is treated with defibrillation. Vary rarely will you see asystole with sudden cardiac arrest. Asystole is ventricular standstill, and this usually occurs long after a patient has gone through VF or pulseless VT.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Claudia Almeida says
Acording with algorythm: First we call emergency and get defib, then we defib, if it is applicable, so I don’t understand why is my answer wrong…
Jeff with admin. says
The question reads: “The most important intervention with witnessed sudden cardiac arrest is:” The reason why the answer is defibrillation is because this is the only intervention that has been proven to be effective. Also the earlier that defibrillation is performed, the better the outcome.
AHA ACLS manual pg. 54. The earlier the defibrillation occurs, the higher the survival rate.
Also, the question is asking what the most important intervention is. It is not asking what the first intervention is.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff, …………..Glad I found your website yesterday ! taking ACLS in 2 more days…….beginning to feel more at ease now that I started taking the quizzes with the ability to immediately find the rationales for those questions I may miss ……..this website will save the day for me………….. Thank you !!!!!!

Whitney says
On question 4, rationale states that “open airway is not included in the BLS survey” but in question 5, open airway is in the correct answer. Which is which?
Jeff with admin. says
It is a common mistake to get these two things confused.
The BLS Survey is different from steps of CPR. Steps for CPR is Compressions, Airway, Breathing.
The BLS survey ( and the ACLS survey) can be reviewed here: BLS and ACLS Survey
Kind regards,

Great site , good prep for my ACLS Course later this month. As a UK Medic and having completed the UK Advanced Life Support this type of online learning is something that is very much lacking for the UK Resus Council .
Robyn W. says
This information is definitely preparing me for my ACLS exam this month! Thank you for the review!!
Damilola Adeaga says
I found this test so helpful. Helped me in preparing for my ACLS recertification.
Thanks guys
Patricia Adams says
First test very Informative.The rationale was helpful.
Audrey says
Same as above

I FOUND THE 1ST TEST. EASY!49 MORE TO GO!
alifong says
As there are witnessed cardiac arrests that are not V-fib or V Tach, I would argue that for all witnessed cardiac arrests, chest compressions are the most important.
Jeff with admin. says
For witness PEA, the intervention would be chest compressions.
For VT and VF, the most important intervention is defibrillation. Witness cardiac arrest can be rapidly reversed with defibrillation. If the cardiac arrest is witness, perfusion has just been lost. The quickest way to reestablish perfusion is to defibrillation.
Kind regards,
Jeff

Thanks for helping us understand ACLS in easy way. May GOD bless you!
Jeff with admin. says
Thanks so much for the encouragement. Kind regards, Jeff
Kathy says
I understand the point but depending on if you are alone or with other help, when ERS is activated, personnel should bring the AED if there is one. If by self & have started compressions & no one arrives with AED or help you must get AED if available.

Thanks
