What actions can the ACLS provider take to assure that breathing is effective? | Give supplementary oxygen, Look for chest rise and cyanosis, check waveform capnography and 02 sats, avoid excessive ventilation |
How much oxygen should be given? | 100% to cardiac arrest patients, for other patients titrate for O2 sats greater than or equal to 94% |
Discus different Petco values as they relate to ACLS? | Petco < 10 try to improve CPR quality, 35-40 mm Hg = target Petco, > 40 sustained usually indicates ROSC |
What is the third step in the ACLS survey? | Circulation – Monitor CPR quality – Capnography >10 mm Hg, intra-arterial pressure > 20 mm Hg, attach monitor/defibrillator, IV/IO access for meds/fluids, meds for rhythms and bp |
