ACLS & 2010 CHANGES

ACLS data with 2010 Guidelines to study for ACLS

QuestionAnswer
Ventricular Fibrillation VF Ventricles are "quivering" No P, QRS, T waves Rate 150-500 fine = 2-5mm coarse = 10-15
Pulseless Electrical Activity PEA Organized electrical activity, no pulse
Asystole No rhythm seen, no QRS
PEA MNEMONIC 5H 5T Hypovolemia, Hypothermia, Hypoxia, Hydogen Ion Acidosis, Hypo/Hyperkalemia. Toxins, Tamponade, Tension pneumothorax, Thrombosis coronary, Thrombosis, pulmonary.
PEA MNEMONIC "PATCH(5)MED" Pulmonary embolus Acidosis Tension pneumothorax Cardiac tamponade Hypokalemia/ Hyperkalemia/ Hypoxia/ Hypothermia/ Hypovolemia Myocardial infarction Electrolyte derangements Drugs
SINUS TACHYCARDIA >100BPM
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION 300-400 Atrial rate, Atria "quivering"
ATRIAL FLUTTER 220-350 Atrial rate, Circular, usuall in set ratio to ventricular activity
SVT or SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARRHYTHMIA comes from "above" or from atria QRS normal
REENTRY TACHYS P-waves hard to see or absent
MONOMORPHIC VT Every QRS is the same, WIDE QRS, no PR,
POLYMORPHIC VT QRS CHNAGES, WIDE QRS
TORSADES DE POINTES UNDULATING AMPLITUDE; MAG SULFATE
1° AV BLOCK PR INTERVAL >0.20
2° TYPE I AV BLOCK or MOBITZ I or WENCKEBACH PROGRESSIVE LENGTHENING OF PR UNTIL ONE QRS IS DROPPED
2° TYPE II AV BLOCK or MOBITZ II PR IS CONSTANT AND SET
3° AV BLOCK AV DISSOCIATION; ATRIA AND VENTRICLES CONTRACT INDEPENDENTLY
ESTIMATING RATES ON PAPER 300, 150, 100, 75, 50
IDENTIFYING RHYTHMS IS THERE A P? IS PR NORMAL? ARE P:QRS = 1:1? QRS WIDE OR NARROW?
SHOCKABLE RHYTHMS VT OR VF, SVT (AFIB, AFLUT)
NON-SHOCKABLE RHYTHMS ASYSTOLE OR PEA
ASYSTOLE OR PEA ALGORITHM CPR 2min; EPI 3-5min; shockable?; NO:CPR 2 MIN YES:SHOCK, CPR 2min; etc
VF / VT ALGORITHM CPR 2min; SHOCK?; CPR 2min, epi; SHOCK?; Amioderone 300/150; Vasopressin 40units may be sub for EPI
ADENOSINE FAST/FLUSH; NARROW QRS VT/VF/SVT; 6MG/12MG in 1-2 mins
COMPRESSION / VENT RATIO BAG/MASK 30 / 2
COMPRESSION / VENT RATIO INTUBATION 1 VENT Q6-8 SECONDS NO PAUSE
VENT RATE FOR RESP ARREST WITH PULSE 1 VENT Q5-6 SECONDS
MAY BE GIVEN BY ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE VASOPRESSIN; EPI; LIDOCAINE
BRADYCARDIA ATROPINE 0.5mg IV up to 3mg; TCPACING; DOPAMINE 2-10mcg/kg/min; EPI 2-10mcg/min
ERRATIC VT/VF ONE SHOCK
STABLE TACHY VAGAL
UNSURE OF PULSE 2 MIN OF CPR!!!
REPERFUSION #1 WITH SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED MI
HYPERTHERMIA PROVIDES BEST OUTCOME FOR MI
MI DRUGS 02; ASPRIN; NITRATES; MORPHINE
EPI (vp)1 MG IV / IO AFTER DEFIB OF ANY CARDIAC ARREST
VASOPRESSIN (vp) USED IN CARDIAC ARREST AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO FIRST OR SECOND DOSE EPINEPHRIN
LIDOCAINE ANTIARRHYTHMIC TO SLOW CONDUCTION AND REPOLARIZATION VF/FT 1-1.5 mg/kg IV INSTEAD OF AMIODARONE
AMIODARONE USED TO RESOLVE A&V TACHY VT/VF
CA BLOCKERS: verapamil;cardizem svt/afib/aflut with fast ventricular response
BETA BLOCKERS RECURRENT VT/VR AND REFRACTORY SVT
DIGOXIN DOPAMINE DOBUTAMINE ISOPROTERONOL EPI AMIODARONE INCREASE HR, BP, PERFUSION; ALSO O2 COMSUPTION
ASA & MI 160-325 MG CHEWED IMMED IF NO CONTRAINDS
AMIODARONE (a-ar) 300MG IV/IO / 150 MG IV/IO
ATROPINE EG TUBE OK; SYMPTOMATIC BRADYCARDIA; not MOBITZ II
DOPAMINE SYMPTOMATIC BRADY after ATROPINE; HYPOTENSION W/ S/S SHOCK 2-20mcg/kg/min
EPINEPHRINE VF, PEA, PULSELESS VT, ASYSTOLE; may infuse for brady instead of dopamine 0.1-0.5mcg/kg/min; profound brady 2-10 mcg per min

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
