Dangers, Responsive, Send for help, Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure

DRSABCDE

30 compressions, 2 breaths

CPR ratio

Start CPR, Attach Defib/Monitor, Assess Rhythm, SHOCKABLE OR NON SHOCKABLE

Steps in ALS

Shock, CPR for 2 mins

If SHOCKABLE rhythm, next steps are:

Adrenaline 1mg CPR for 2 mins

If NON SHOCKABLE rhythm, next steps are:

Return of spontaneous circulation

ROSC

Post resuscitation care

What comes after ROSC?

1. Reevaluate ABCDE, 2. 12 lead ECG, 3. Treat precipitating causes, 4. Aim for sats 94-

98%, 5. Normocapnia and normoglycaemia, 6. Targeted temperature management

Post resuscitation care 6 things are:

, 4 h's and 4 t's

Things to consider and correct are:

1. Hypoxia, 2. Hypovolaemia, 3. Hyper/hypokalaemia/ metabolic disorders, 4.

Hypothermia/ hyperthermia

4 H's are:

1. Tension pneumothorax, 2. Tamponade, 3. Toxins, 4. Thrombosis (pulmonary, coronary)

4 T's are:

Adrenaline 1 mg after 2nd shock (then every 2nd loop) Amiodarone 300mg after 3 shocks

SHOCKABLE DRUGS

Adrenaline 1 mg immediately (then every 2nd loop)

NON SHOCKABLE DRUGS

10 breaths per minute

Chest compressions uninterrupted following tracheal intubation are to be at rate of:

Shockable rhythms

VF and Pulseless Ventricular tachycardia

Non shockable rhythms

Asystole, PEA

Debfibrillation Sequence
