Cardiology Treatment Challenge

ROSC with Post-Arrest Hypotension · L1

How this exercise works

Drag ACLS interventions into the correct priority order for bradycardia, tachycardia, or arrest algorithms. Life-threatening rhythms get pacing, shock, or epinephrine before secondary steps.

Fundamental concept

Sequencing pacing, defibrillation, medications, and supportive care for bradycardia, tachycardia, and arrest rhythms.

Scenario

ROSC 2 minutes ago. HR 52, BP 74/40, cool clammy skin. 12-lead sinus bradycardia, no STEMI.

Drag items into priority order — highest priority at the top.

Available

Confirm sustained ROSC and treat immediate post-arrest hypotension
Avoid hyperventilation; maintain EtCO₂ target
Cautious IV crystalloid bolus per protocol
Transport to post-arrest care center
Start vasopressor infusion (e.g., norepinephrine) if fluid insufficient
