What is this rhythm? and how is it treated?
30%
What percent of cardiac output is lost due to Afib and loss of "atrial kick"?
this is a calcium channel blocker it decreases BP & decreases HR it is often given
to help reduce the HR in Afib RVR along with Heparin/Warfarin
What does Cardizem/Diltiazem do?
1. Protamine
2. Vitamin K
3. if there is an active bleed or they are going to need surgery
What is the antidote for heparin?
What is the antidote for Warfarin?
When do we reverse anticoagulation?
1. recognition of sudden cardiac arrest ck for pt responsiveness and breathing
2. Activate the emergency response system (call a code or rapid)
3. CPR if no pulse, and while waiting on the crash cart to arrive. (Remember
, 30 compressions to 2 breaths)
4. Defibrillate- as soon as possible
2. Ventricular Tachycardia
CPR, Defibrilate, amiodarone, epi
3. What is this rhythm and how is it treated?
4.
5.
6. Ventricular fibrillation
CPR, Amiodarone, Defibrilate, Epi
7. What is this rhythm and how is it treated?
8.
9.
10. Asystole
CPR & Epinephrine
11. What is this rhythm? and how is it treated?
12.
13.
14. PVC or premature ventricular contraction
Treat the underlying cause:
1. hypoxemia (o2)
, 2. Ischemia (12 lead to confirm)
3. electrolyte imbalance (Mg+ or K+ replacement)
15. What is this rhythm? and how is it treated?
16.
17.
18. AFib
"control the rate and anticoagulate"
Synchronized Cardioversion and anticoagulation
19. What is this rhythm and how is it treated if unstable?
20.
21.
22. Give an antidysrhythmic (amiodarone)
Cardizem/Diltiazem
We don't defib because we are worried a clot has formed in the appendages
which will travel to the brain or lungs when shocked
23. How is stable Afib treated?
24. AFib RVR
This is Afib plus tachycardia and it is treated as unstable Afib
Cardiovert
25.
what are the steps to BLS CPR?
2 leads ds
How many leads must Asystole be confirmed in?
Vasoconstrictor and (+) Inotrope
