Question #40 if wide QRS complex, if pulseless treat like VF there for correct answer is defibrillator or unsynchronized cardioversion. However the best answer available is synchronized.
I think we can be confused because it says that the patients radial pulse is not palpable. Yet he has a heart rate of 190 as shown by the monitor. The palpation of a pulse is usually felt either at the carotid or femoral as the book says. It's a regular wide complex tachcardia so we can say it's a VT. The management of this points to unstable regular wide complex tachycardia - with a pulse, which is synchronized cardioversion. Overall - this question is badly made.

@WesamKoura I am doing the ACLS 2024 test, and the drug amount is different in the book than what is stated in the video. Where are we supposed to find out the real drug amount if we can't rely on the 2024 ACLS study guidelines?
Regarding question #26, isn’t the first dose of Atropine 1mg for a symptomatic bradycardia ?
I guess the question was not updated to the more recent guideline despite saying it's 2024

Question #42 wrong also cause if either a-fib or sinus tachycardia “if” unstable synchronized cardiovert can be used
Question #44 is wrong also it’s same as PCO2 the PETCO2 35-45 , see page 155 AHA ACLS book.
The dopamine dosage is wrong for question 27. Its supposed to be 5-20 mcg/kg/min
I was expecting more likes and comments on this one haha i guess not so many come to these videos
The test paper is clearly outdated
Drug doses in the video have changed
