Even in our darkest moments, it's a good reminder to know God is there. Through the active power of God, we are able to find hope and strength in overcoming TTM. As my own courage rises, I want to be more translucent for you. I will be sharing my blog posts, my stories, and tactics I have used to help me overcome TTM. Overcoming TTM does not happen in a moment. Overcoming TTM is a daily choice. Healing is a journey, it's resisting and exchanging for a better way of life. www.imperfectionatbe ...

For apneic patients without a carotid pulse or patients with only gasping/agonal respirations, we will follow the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm. For pulseless patients that the AED doesn't advise a shock, the patient's ECG shows asystole, or a non-perfusing organized rhythm (PEA), we will follow the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm…

Providing good, high-quality CPR with minimal interruptions and early defibrillation are two key interventions shown to improved cardiac arrest outcomes. A training tool used in many CPR and ACLS classes is to use a song (or a song list) with a tempo of 100 to 120 beats per minute to help the person doing chest compressions maintain an adequate rat…

A patient’s medical history will help us identify things that may be causing (or contributing) to their current condition as well as guide our decisions so we provide the safest evidence-based care possible. Examples of information obtained in a medical history that will impact the treatment we provide. There are several mnemonics and memory aids t…

When a patient loses excessive amounts of fluids, we say that they are in a state of hypovolemia. The most obvious cause of hypovolemia is from bleeding. Bleeding can be internal or external and caused by trauma, pathology, or iatrogenic. Classic signs & symptoms of hypovolemic shock. Volume replacement with crystalloids vs blood. Connect with me: …

Even good CPR is far less efficient at circulating blood than a functioning heart. The indicators of high-quality CPR that were identified at the 2012 AHA CPR Quality Summit in order of importance include: Chest compression fraction (CCF); Chest compression rate; Chest compression depth; Allowing for full recoil; and Adequate ventilations. Using re…

Hypothermic patients aren't dead until they are warm and dead. When a patient’s core body temperature drops below 96.8 F (36 C), they are hypothermic. As the body’s temperature drops below 36 C, hypothermia may further be classified as moderate or severe: Moderate if the patient’s body core temp is between 30-34 C; and Severe if it's below 30 C. Mo…

Calcium is one of the ions that move across the cellular membrane during cardiac contraction and relaxation. The primary use of calcium channel blockers in ACLS is for the treatment of stable, narrow complex tachycardias refractory to Adenosine and to lower the blood pressure of ischemic stroke patients with severe hypertension. Use of calcium chan…

Nitroglycerine is vasodilator that affects peripheral blood vessels and coronary arteries. Because of its widespread dilation effects on blood vessels, nitro can quickly lower a patient’s blood pressure, sometimes to the point of making a patient hypotensive. Assessment of vital signs prior to administering nitro is necessary to ensure patient safe…

As an ACLS provider you do not need to be familiar with all of the different signs of various types of poisoning. You should be able to obtain a history and know to order toxicology. The majority of toxins don’t have a specific antidote. There are a few toxins for which we have emergency interventions and ACLS providers should be familiar with. Rev…

The ACLS algorithms are designed to make it easier to remember the key interventions we should deliver, and the order in which they should be delivered, to provide the best evidence-based care possible. Generally speaking, if there’s a change in a patient’s condition, we should ensure we’re using the correct algorithm. Three key points to remember …

To pass ACLS, you will need to be able to identify common rhythms on a monitor during your mega code and ECG strips on your written exam. If you don't normally monitor patients as part of your job, I suggest two things: 1. Find a system for ECG interpretation that works well for you; and 2. Practice reading ECGs every day for a few weeks before you…

In the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm, we should administer an antiarrhythmic medication to patients in V-Fib or pulseless ventricular tachycardia approximately two minutes after the first dose of epinephrine. The two first-line ACLS antiarrhythmics that are generally used are Amiodarone and Lidocaine. Review of Lidocaine dosing and administration …
