4. Which of the following rhythms is most commonly present in the first minute following onset of cardiac arrest in adults?
A. asystole
B. Mobitz II block
C. normal sinus rhythm with multiformed premature ventricular complexes
D. ventricular fibrillation

The first one who can answer the question correctly will win a prize from yours truly (provided I have your address). Each of you who subsequently answer the question correctly will be able to take my place at ACLS recertification 'mind meld' class held two years from this date. Lucky yous.

8 people are wicked awesome. to 260 joules, anyone?:

good job the rules. you win a special prize. and brittany- you win the honor of taking ACLS in my stead the next time i need to renew.

it has been so long since ICU class that, without that fancy little printout on the EKGs or something very noticeable like V-tach V-fib- i'm afraid of EKGs. in fact, i don't believe in them.

Please tell me the prize is a portable defibrillator. I've always wanted to sneak up behind people and zap them in the butt with one of those. Har har!
