Question
in addition to hypoxia, what is the most common underlying, potentially reversible cause of pulseless electrical activity? choose the correct answer hypovolemia hypothermia tension pneumothorax thrombosis
Hypovolemia is a common and potentially reversible cause of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) along with hypoxia. It occurs when there is a significant loss of blood or other body fluids, reducing the volume of circulating fluid in the body, which can lead to PEA. Hypothermia, tension pneumothorax, and thrombosis are also causes of PEA but are less common than hypovolemia among the options given.
