CorrectIncorrect -
Question 10 of 10
10. Question
The correct dose of atropine given in the bradycardia algorithm is:
CorrectIncorrect
Jeckson Mureri says
“Atropine dose of less than 0.5mg can worsen the bradycardia where as high doses can cause tachycardia”, now that the new dose for Atropine was changed from 0.5 to 1mg every 3 to 5 mins, how much does is high enough to cause tachycardia, initially they were referring to anything more than 0.5mg.
Reference Questions 6
ACLS says
The literature still states that 0.5 mg and lower they have a paradoxical effect and cause bradycardia. There is no change with regard to this fact. I imagine that your next question will probably be, “why did the American Heart Association change the dose to 1 mg.” I have not been able to find A good answer to that question.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Jane says
The question said if TCP is INEFFECTIVE then what is the next step
Jane says
SORRY misread transvenous pacing
ACLS says
The next step would be to initiate chemical pacing using Epinephrine or Dopamine. Kind regards, Jeff

question #10 your quiz says atropine dose is 1 mg.
The correct answer is .5 mg
ACLS says
The new guidelines have adjusted the single atropine dose to 1mg rather than 0.5mg. The Max. cumulative dose remains 3mg. Kind regards, Jeff
steveahm@comcast.net says
Jeff – Please clarify the following: question #10 Brady Quiz #3. Correct answer per site for correct dose of Atropine for brady algorithm = 1.0 mgm IVP and may repeat x 3: yet, both the bradycardia algorithm in the manual and the drug reference at the end of the manual, stipulate the correct dose is Atropine is 0.5 mgm IVP MR repeat x 3. I know in practice I frequently see either 0.5 mgm 0R 1.0 mgm ordered. I find this discreption problematic as it could be a precursor for error. Please clarify the rationale for the correct answer. Many thanks and kudos to you and your team for this remarkable reference site!
ACLS says
I think you may have caught those pages right in the middle of when I was doing my editing for the new guidelines.
The bradycardia section of the website is now completely up-to-date for the new guidelines.
My apologies for any inconvenience or discrepancy that you ran into.
Kind regards,
Jeff
