Question

You are working in an OB/GYN office when your patient, Mrs. Tribble, suddenly goes into cardiac arrest. She is 28 weeks pregnant and her fundus is above the umbilicus. Which statement is true regarding CPR and AED use for a pregnant patient? Select the correct answer to this question. Resuscitative cesarean delivery (RCD) should be performed as soon as possible after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Providers should perform high-quality CPR and continuous left uterine displacement (LUD) until the infant is delivered, even if ROSC is achieved. AED use is contraindicated in pregnant patients because the shock from an AED and chest compressions will harm the infant. The pregnant patient should be placed on her left side during CPR to improve blood flow to the heart and therefore to the infant.
