To assess the CPR quality, once the tube has been inserted by one of your members, one should continue chest compressions so that it will help the patient to breathe and a way of giving assistance to the heart. The waveform in the capnogrophy screen should be assessed and to find out whether the CPR is working.

Answer:

Monitor the patient's PetCO2

Explanation:

PetCO2 is the end of tidal carbon dioxide tension.
The normal value of petCO2 is 35-45 mm Hg.
When the patient has been intubated and is in cardiac arrest it is essential to monitor the PetCO2 as this indicates the blood flow that takes place during the chest compressions performed during the CPR.
Thus, the measure of PetCO2 is essential to assess the quality of the CPR.

Succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of succinate to fumarate. The reaction is inhibited by malonic acid, which rese

natima [27]

Answer:

C. Succinate is the substrate, and fumarate is the product.

Explanation:

Succinate is the substrate of the enzyme Succinate dehydrogenase, and as a product is obtained fumarate. In this scenario, malonic acid plays the role of a competitive inhibitor because its structure resembles the succinate's, so they compete for the active site of the enzyme. So, A option is wrong because fumarate is not the product. B option is wrong too because malonic acid is an inhibitor, not the substrate. Also, D is incorrect because malonic acid is a COMPETITIVE inhibitor, not a noncompetitive one. Finally, E can´t be true because malonic acid is not product and fumarate is the product, not an inhibitor.
