(Comprehension Level) List and describe the causes of sudden cardiac death. 3. (Application Level) Demonstrate one- and two-person Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) techniques in the basic life support for adult and child, obstructed airway maneuvers for conscious and unconscious for adult, child and infant, and CPR for infant victims. 4. (Application Level) Correctly apply the face mask, nasal cannula, non-rebreathing mask, and bag-valve-mask devices, insert oral and nasal airway noting the percentage of oxygen delivered for each adjunct. 5. (Synthesis Level) Perform nasal and tracheal suction techniques and endotracheal intubation. 6. (Evaluation Level) Interpret the basic ECG arrhythmias. 7. (Analysis Level) Identify and relate at least 85% of the steps in the universal algorithm for adult emergency cardiac care, early management of patients with chest pain, signs, and symptoms of myocardial infarction. 8. (Analysis Level) Identify and differentiate the indications, contraindications, actions, side effects, uses and dosages of emergency cardiac drugs. 9. (Analysis Level) Examine and explain indications, techniques and complications for peripheral and central venous access. 10. (Analysis Level) Identify and illustrate transcutaneous pacing, defibrillation, synchronized and unsynchronized cardioversion. 11. (Analysis Level) Compare and describe special resuscitation situations to include stroke, traumatic cardiac arrest, shock, congestive heart failure, near drowning, and hypothermia.
