Slide 7-

Defibrillation Know your AED Universal steps: Power ON Attach electrode pads Analyze the rhythm Shock (if advised) Ernstl, Wikimedia Commons 7
Slide 8-

Defibrillation Most frequent initial rhythm in witnessed sudden cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) which rapidly deteriorates into VF The only effective treatment for VF is electrical defibrillation Probability of successful defibrillation diminishes rapidly over time VF rapidly converts to asystole if not treated 8
Slide 9-

Early Defibrillation = Increased Survival Source unknown 9
Slide 10-

Outcomes of Rapid Defibrillation by Security Officers after Cardiac Arrest in Casinos NEJM Vol 343 (17) October 26, 2000 Used AEDs on 105 patients with Ventricular Fibrillation 53% survived to discharge (back to casino) Previously, less than 5% survive 10
Slide 11-

Public-Access Defibrillation and Survival after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest NEJM 2004 Community based trial of AED deployment and layperson training. 30 in AED group versus 15 survivors in CPR only group to hospital discharge Average age of survivor - 69.8 years Study cost - $9.5 million 11
Slide 12-

Secondary Survey (ACLS) Airway Breathing Circulation Differential Diagnosis Assess and manage at each step before moving on! 12
Slide 13-

Airway Maintain airway patency Head tilt-chin lift/jaw thrust Oro- or nasopharyngeal airway Advanced airway management ETT Combitube LMA Ignis, Wikimedia Commons 13
Slide 14-

Breathing Assess adequacy of oxygenation and ventilation Provide supplemental oxygen Confirm proper airway placement Secure tube 14
Slide 15-

Circulation Assess/monitor cardiac rhythm Establish IV access Give medications as appropriate for rhythm and BP Fluid resuscitation Minimize interruption of compressions to maximize survival. 15
Slide 16-

Differential Diagnosis Look for and treat any reversible cause of arrest 16
Slide 17-

Basic Rhythm Analysis 17
Slide 18-

Basic Rhythm Analysis Rate – too fast or too slow? Rhythm – regular or irregular? Is there a normal looking QRS? Is it wide or narrow? Are P waves present? What is the relationship of the P waves to the QRS complex? 18
Slide 19-

Rhythm Analysis Lethal vs non-lethal? Shockable vs. non-shockable? Too fast vs too slow? Symptomatic vs. asymptomatic? 19
Slide 20-

Lethal Rhythms Shockable (Defibrillation) Ventricular fibrillation Pulseless ventricular tachycardia Non-shockable Asystole Pulseless electrical activity 20
Slide 21-

Non-Lethal Rhythms Too fast (tachycardias) Sinus Supraventricular (including a-fib/flutter) Ventricular Too slow (bradycardias) Sinus Heart block (1°, 2°, 3° AV block) 21
Slide 22-

What is a Symptomatic Dysrhythmia? Any abnormal rhythm that produces signs or symptoms of hypoperfusion Chest Pain/ischemic EKG changes Shortness of Breath Decreased level of consciousness Syncope/pre-syncope Hypotension Shock - decreased Uop, cool extremities, etc. Pulmonary Congestion/CHF 22
Slide 23-

Name that rhythm… 23

Slide 26-

VF / Pulseless VT Primary Survey - ABC Secondary Survey - ABC Source unknown 26

79yo man s/p NSTEMI What is the rhythm? What is the management? Glenlarson, Wikimedia Commons 28
Slide 29-

Ventricular Tachycardia Rapid and regular No P waves Wide QRS complexes Ksheka, Wikimedia Commons 29
Slide 30-

Ventricular Tachycardia Monomorphic VT Polymorphic VT 30 Ksheka, Wikimedia Commons Displaced, Wikimedia Commons
Slide 31-

Ventricular Tachycardia Assume any wide complex tachycardia is VT until proven otherwise SVT with aberrant conduction may also have wide QRS complexes Attempt to establish the diagnosis Ischemia risk and VT go together 31
Slide 32-

Treatment of VT If pulseless - follow VF algorithm If stable try anti-arrhythmics Amiodarone Lidocaine Procainamide? If patient has a pulse, but is unstable or not responding to meds - shock 32
Slide 33-

Treatment of VT Anti-arrhythmics are also pro-arrhythmic One antiarrhythmic may help, more than one may harm Anti-arrhythmics can impair an already impaired heart Electrical cardioversion should be the second intervention of choice 33

PEA and Asystole Secondary Survey - ABCD Primary Survey - ABC Source unknown 38
Slide 39-

PEA 39
Slide 40-

Find and Treat the Cause Non-shockable rhythm The most effective treatment is to find and fix the underlying problem Rama, Wikimedia Commons 40
Slide 41-

So what causes PEA? #1 cause of PEA in adults is hypovolemia #1 cause in children is hypoxia/respiratory arrest Other causes? 41
Slide 42-

The H’s and T’s Hypovolemia Hypoxia Hydrogen ion (acidosis) Hyper-/hypokalemia Hypothermia Hypoglycemia (rare) Toxins Tamponade Tension pneumothorax Thrombosis (coronary or pulmonary) Trauma 42

Supraventricular Tachycardia Rapid (usually 150-250 bpm) and regular P waves cannot be positively identified QRS narrow Displaced, Wikimedia Commons 45
Slide 46-

Treatment of Stable SVT Consider vagal maneuvers Carotid sinus massage Valsalva Eyeball massage Ice water to face Digital rectal exam Adenosine 6 mg, 12 mg, 12 mg 46
Slide 47-

Treatment of Unstable SVT Electrical Cardioversion Cardioversion is not defibrillation Use defibrillator in “sync” mode prevents delivering energy in the wrong part of the cardiac cycle (R on T phenomenon) 47
Slide 48-

Electrical Cardioversion Energy level – somewhat controversial 100 J→200J→300J→360J Atrial flutter may convert with lower energy 50J For polymorphic VT – start with 200J The EP guys tend to start with 360J 48
Slide 49-

Electrical Cardioversion Be prepared Patient on monitor, IV, Oxygen Suction ready and working Airway supplies ready Pre-medicate whenever possible Conscious sedation Electrical shocks are painful! 49
Slide 50-

Tachycardia Treat the patient NOT the monitor!!! 50
Slide 51-

Stable Tachycardias Narrow complex? Regular rhythm Sinus tachycardia SVT AV nodal reentry Irregular rhythm Atrial fibrillation Atrial flutter Wide complex? Uncertain rhythm – assume VT Narrow complex tachycardia with aberrancy Ventricular tachycardia Monomorphic or polymorphic 51

Slide 59-

Bradycardias Many possible causes Enhanced parasympathetic tone Increased ICP. Hypothyroidism Hypothermia Hyperkalemia Hypoglycemia Drug therapy 59
Slide 60-

Bradycardias Treat only symptomatic bradycardias Ask if the bradycardia causing the symptoms Recognize the red flag bradycardias Second degree type II block Third degree block 60
Slide 61-

Source unknown 61
Slide 62-

Transcutaneous pacing Class I for all symptomatic bradycardias Always appropriate Doesn’t always work Technique Attach pacer pads Set a rate to 80 bpm Turn up the juice (amps) until you get capture Painful – may need sedation / analgesia 62
Slide 63-

Transvenous Pacing Invasive Time-consuming to establish Skilled procedure Better long-term than transcutaneous May have better capture than transcutaneous pacing 63

Know When To Stop With return of spontaneous circulation No ROSC during or after 20 minutes of resuscitative efforts Possible exceptions include near-drowning, severe hypothermia, known reversible cause, some overdoses DNR orders presented Obvious signs of irreversible death 75
