Across
- 2. Pump failure causing fluid backup and poor perfusion
- 6. Absence of a pulse despite electrical activity (abbrev.)
- 7. Electrical reset of a perfusing unstable tachycardia
- 9. Inverted ECG wave commonly associated with ischemia
- 13. flatline rhythm
- 16. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (abbrev.)
- 18. Shock delivered to terminate VF or pulseless VT
- 19. Pulmonary edema often results from left-sided _____ failure
- 20. fast heart rate
- 21. Elevation often seen in acute STEMI
Down
- 1. Percentage of blood ejected from the ventricle
- 3. Layer of the heart muscle responsible for contraction
- 4. Nitroglycerin primarily causes this vascular effect
- 5. Medication commonly given during cardiac arrest
