Which of the following is NOT listed as a Ts in the Hs and Ts approach?

• A. Tamponade
• B. Toxins
• C. Tachycardia
• D. Thrombosis Pulmonary

Answer: (C)

In the Hs and Ts approach, the Ts represent reversible causes of cardiac arrest you actively look for and treat: Toxins, Tamponade, Tension pneumothorax, and Thrombosis (pulmonary or coronary). Tachycardia is not one of these listed Ts; it’s a rhythm disturbance that can occur during arrest but it isn’t categorized as a T in this framework. So the option that isn’t listed as a T is tachycardia. The other items fit: toxins require antidotes or supportive care, tamponade needs fluid removal or pericardiocentesis, tension pneumothorax needs immediate decompression, and thrombosis is addressed with reperfusion strategies.
