ALS Subcommittee 2010
ALS Subcommittee 2010
Collapsed patient
With cardiac output
• Tachyarrhythmias
• Bradyarrhythmias
Without cardiac output
Shock-able rhythm
• Ventricular fibrillation
• Pulseless VT
Non shock-able rhythm
• Asystole
• Pulseless electrical activity
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
VF / Pulseless VT
•Avoid Danger
•Check Responsiveness
•Shout: Activate emergency response system
Call for defibrillator and resus trolley
• A Airway: open the airway
• B Breathing: assess if no breathing or agonal breathing
• C Circulation: give chest compressions
• D Defibrillation: assess rhythm and shock VF/pulseless
VT (360J monophasic or 120-200J biphasic)
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
VF / Pulseless VT …. cont
•Adrenaline 1 mg IV push, repeat every 3 to 5 minutes OR Vasopressin 40 U IV, single dose, 1 time only
Resume attempts to defibrillate 1 x 360 J (or equivalent biphasic)
Consider antiarrhythmics: •Amiodarone 300mg bolus OR
•Lignocaine 1mg/kg bolus •Magnesium ( known hypomagnesemic state)
Resume attempts to defibrillate
Chest compression
continues with
minimal interruptions
Resume attempts to defibrillate 1 x 360 J (or equivalent biphasic)
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
Asystole / PEA
•Avoid Danger
•Check Responsiveness
•Shout: Activate emergency response system
Call for defibrillator and resus trolley
• A Airway: open the airway
• B Breathing: assess if no breathing or agonal breathing
• C Circulation: give chest compressions
• D Defibrillation: non-shockable rhythm
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
Asystole/ PEA ….cont
• Adrenaline 1 mg IV push - repeat every 3 to 5 minutes - vasopression 40U may replace 1 dose of adrenaline
• CPR
• Drugs
• Determine causes of PEA or Asystole
- consider 6 Hs and 5 Ts
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
Asystole/ PEA ….cont
• Consider quality of resuscitation?
• Atypical clinical features present?
• Consider ceasing resuscitation
• Search for DNR order
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
Patient with pulse
• Reassurance
• Oxygen
• IV access
• Monitor
ALS Subcommittee 2010
ALS Subcommittee 2010
Tachyarrhythmias
Stable
• Medications
• ± maneuvers
Unstable
• Cardioversion
• Consider amiodarone after 3x cardioversion
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
Bradyarrhythmias
• Symptomatic : medications ± pacing
ALS Subcommittee 2010 ALS Subcommittee 2010
Success Of CPR
• Team effort:
– good team members
– good team leader
– knowledge
