What should personnel receive if their heart rate exceeds 100 BPM after 20 minutes of rest in Rehab?

When personnel's heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute (BPM) after 20 minutes of rest during rehabilitation, it indicates a potential cardiovascular concern that requires prompt assessment. Receiving a 12 lead EKG, along with an Advanced Life Support (ALS) evaluation and treatment as necessary, is vital in these situations.

The 12 lead EKG provides a detailed view of the heart's electrical activity and can help identify any underlying issues such as arrhythmias, ischemia, or other cardiac conditions. An ALS evaluation ensures that qualified personnel are involved to assess the situation thoroughly and to deliver any immediate care required based on the findings. This comprehensive approach is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of personnel, making sure that any serious health risks are promptly addressed.

In contrast, a basic check-up or merely resting and observing might not sufficiently address the potential for serious complications from an elevated heart rate. While CPR training is essential for overall preparedness, it does not specifically address the immediate concern of an abnormal heart rate in a rehabilitation context. Thus, the selected response aligns with the necessary protocols to provide appropriate medical attention in such situations.
