CPR Post-Resuscitation Care & Recovery 2

Question 1

After return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), what oxygen saturation range should be targeted to avoid hyperoxia?

Accepted Answer

94-99%

Answer

Titrate oxygen to keep SpO2 between 94-99% to prevent both hypoxia and harmful hyperoxia.

Question 2

Targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest typically maintains core temperature in which range?

Accepted Answer

32-36 C

Answer

Current guidelines recommend a constant target between 32 C and 36 C for at least 24 hours.

Question 3

Which finding immediately after ROSC most strongly indicates the need to identify and treat a reversible cause?

Accepted Answer

Persistent hypotension

Answer

Persistent hypotension signals ongoing instability and prompts a search for reversible causes like hypovolemia.

Question 4

What is the recommended approach to ventilation rate in an intubated patient after ROSC?

Accepted Answer

10 breaths per minute

Answer

Provide about 10 breaths per minute and avoid hyperventilation, which lowers cardiac output.

Question 5

A patient regains a pulse but remains unresponsive. What is the priority next step?

Accepted Answer

Begin post-cardiac arrest care and monitoring

Answer

An unresponsive patient with ROSC needs structured post-arrest care including airway, breathing, and circulation support.
