Hurry, don't let time run out!

Step 1 of 10

You are interning at a nearby hospital. Upon entering the hospital room of a 25-year-old male who was admitted the previous evening for chronic abdominal pain and a history of gastrointestinal ulcers, you find them unresponsive, lying in bed. On the table next to the bed is a half-eaten sandwich, so you assume he was eating shortly before. A rapid initial assessment reveals the following:

Vital signs
  • Pulse rate, Blood pressure, Respiratory rate, Temperature: Unobtainable
Physiological systems
  • Integumentary: Moist, cool
  • Cardiovascular: No palpable pulse
  • Respiratory: Visible chest rising, no audible respirations
  • Neurological: Unresponsive
1. After conducting an initial assessment, it is determined that the patient is in cardiac arrest so you activate the Code Team. Given IV access has been established and a cardiac monitor is not attached to the patient, what are your initial actions?*
