Despite the drug provided above and continued CPR, the patient remains in ventricular fibrillation. A. Agonal gasps Agonal gasps are not normal breathing. The CT scan should be completed within 25 minutes of the patients arrival in the emergency department and should be read within 45 minutes from emergency department arrival. This consists of a team leader and several team members (Table 1). Whether you are a team member or a team leader during a resuscitation attempt, you should understand not only your role but also the roles of other members. After determining that a patient is not breathing and has no pulse, start CPR, beginning with chest compressions. Which would you have done first if the patient had not gone into ventricular fibrillation? The team leader is orchestrating the actions of the other team members - who is doing what and when - but also monitoring the others for quality assurance. that that monitor/defibrillator is already, there, but they may have to moved it or slant 0000058430 00000 n C.
