It was dismal performance on 1st go but once I reviewed all the dosages it was better.
The practice tests are perfect to let me know where I needed to concentrate .
Great program

Hi Jeff , in prehospital how can you recognize an hypok in bradycardia? Thank you
ACLS says
Hi Anne,
A variety of arrhythmias may be associated with hypokalemia, including sinus bradycardia, premature atrial and ventricular beats, paroxysmal atrial or junctional tachycardia, atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.
Early prehospital symptoms may include muscle twitching, leg cramps, and weakness. Advanced symptoms include paresis or ascending paralysis. Constipation or intestinal paralysis and respiratory failure often present as signs of severe hypokalemia.
Other changes that may not be apparent in the prehospital setting for hypokalemia can include detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. These are ECG changes: (U waves, T wave flattening and ST-segment changes), cardiac arrhythmias (sometimes lethal) and heart failure.
Kind regards, Jeff

I think this web site is fantastic! I most appreciate the references to confirm the answer. For those that needs to see the explanation for the answer in writing will truly appreciate this web site.

when taking the online class, is the test timed or do u take it at your on speed. Minnie
Jeff with admin. says
I believe there is a one hour time limit on the exam portion of the testing. The test should not take that long. Kind regards, Jeff

Hi Jeff
I am unable to find answers for bradycardia quiz #3. Actually, it does not even highlight green or red. Please help. I take the test this weekend.

The quiz answers should be provided with each question. This may have been a browser issue. If something like this happens you may try closing your browser window and reopening the webpage and logging back in.
I do apologize for the delay in reply to you. I hope that everything went well with your ACLS provider course.
Kind regards,

Great program for review prior to recertification! Thanks!
Lacey Ferree says
In the rapid rhythm identification video (Video 3) it stated that the first intervention for unstable bradycardia would be to give 0.5 mg Atropine IVP and then start TCP, if needed. In question #6, “Preparation for transcutaneous pacing should be made for which of the following?”….unstable sinus bradycardia is listed as one of the correct answers and in the explanation section it states, “All of these rhythms listed can rapidly degenerate into more serious conditions and are an indication to ready for immediate transcutaneous pacing.”
I just want to make sure I’m understanding this correctly…is the first line treatment and the first thing you should do for unstable sinus bradycardia is give Atropine, or should you perform transcutaneous pacing immediately if it’s available?
Thanks!
Jeff with admin. says
The first thing that should be done is give atropine and immediately prepare for TCP. Keep in mind that if the administration is going to delay TCP that the delivery of atropine can be disregarded.
Kind regards,
Jeff
