CLINICAL SCENARIO You are waiting for a bus in bus stop, suddenly a person beside you becomes unresponsive and falls down 25 year male patient admitted with dengue fever in your ward with a platelet count of 40000, goes to washroom becomes unresponsive and falls down 30 year male smoker, COPD admitted with a CAP four days back intubated in ER itself and started on BL/BLI and macrolide combination. Clinical condition improved was planned for a discharge next morning. Suddenly patient becomes unresponsive in the early morning at 5am BLS ACLS DRUGS
BLS OR ACLS : TIMING MOST IMPORTANT
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS IN OHCA and IHCA
BLS
BLS WHAT IS AN AED? WHAT IS SHOCKABLE RHYTHM? HOW DOES A SHOCK HELP IN CARDIAC ARREST?
Effect of shock It just stops the heart Effectively SA node takes over and restarts a normal sinus rhythm what is SA node? What is conducting system of heart? How does conducting system influence the ECG?
CONDUCTING SYSTEM & ECG ECG interpretation is guided by three questions: Is the rhythm fast or slow? Are the QRS complexes wide or narrow? Is the rhythm regular or irregular
BLS
Proper position of rescuer: shoulders directly over victim's sternum; elbows locked
Head-Tilt Chin-Lift ( No neck injury suspected)
Jaw Thrust (Suspected Spinal Injury)
HIGH QUALITY CPR Changes in 2015 : Chest compressions at 100 – 120 /min Depth of 2 inches maximum 2.5 inches Do not lean on patient in between compressions
Defibrillation bundle Attach and charge the defibrillator while continuing HQ CPR. Stop compressions and assess rhythm (should take no more than 5 seconds). If VF or VT is present, deliver shock; if non-shockable rhythm is present, resume HQ CPR. Resume HQ Chest compressions immediately after the shock is delivered.
Electrode Position
ACLS
Antiarrhythmics in VF and pulseless VT no particular timing Amiodarone (300 mg IV with a repeat dose of 150 mg IV as indicated) may be administered in VF or pulseless VT unresponsive to defibrillation. Lidocaine (1 to 1.5 mg/kg IV, then 0.5 to 0.75 mg/kg every 5 to 10 minutes) if amiodarone is unavailable. Magnesium sulfate (2 g IV, followed by a maintenance infusion) may be used to treat PMVT consistent with torsade de pointes . not recommended for routine use in adult cardiac arrest patients
DRUGS REMOVED FROM ACLS ATROPINE IN 2013 VASOPRESSIN IN 2015
5Hs and 5Ts of ACLS Hypoxia Tension pneumothorax Hypovolemia Tamponade Hydrogen ions (acidosis) Toxins Hypo/hyper kalemia Thrombosis - MI hypothermia Thrombosis - PE
