ACLS: Management of Cardiac Arrest 2015
1) CPR quality should be optimized by minimizing interruptions in compressions, avoiding excessive ventilation, rotating compressors, and using appropriate compression to ventilation ratios.
2) Quantitative waveform capnography and intra-arterial pressure monitoring can help guide CPR improvements if PETCO2 is <10 mm Hg or diastolic pressure is <20 mm Hg.
3) For refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia, amiodarone or lidocaine can be considered, but magnesium is not routinely recommended.
ACLS 2015 Updates - The Malaysian Perspective
This set of slide was presented during the Kelantan Resuscitation Update 22 Nov 2015 in accordance to the latest ACLS/ILCOR 2015 Guidelines. However, I have emphasized on certain important aspects relevant within the Malaysian context. Nonetheless, in general, there are no major changes for this year 2015
2015 acls
This document summarizes guidelines for adult advanced cardiovascular life support. It outlines the key components of basic life support including immediate recognition of cardiac arrest, activation of emergency response, early CPR, and use of an automated external defibrillator. For advanced life support, it describes the treatment of shockable (ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia) and non-shockable (asystole, pulseless electrical activity) cardiac arrest rhythms. It also reviews adjuncts to CPR including oxygen supplementation, capnography, ultrasound, and airway management techniques.
Cardiac arrest
Cardiac arrest is the abrupt cessation of cardiac pump function that requires prompt intervention to prevent death. The four rhythms that can cause pulseless cardiac arrest are ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia, asystole, and pulseless electrical activity. Immediate CPR and defibrillation are critical, along with identifying and treating reversible causes such as hypoxia, acidosis, hypothermia, tamponade, pulmonary embolism, or drug overdose. Management involves high-quality CPR, defibrillation for shockable rhythms, intravenous epinephrine and amiodarone, and treating underlying causes.
CPR2015 update: BLS, CPR Quality and First aid
This document summarizes the key recommendations from the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Some of the major updates include emphasizing the importance of early CPR and defibrillation. It recommends compression-only CPR for untrained lay rescuers. For trained lay rescuers and healthcare providers, the recommendation is chest compressions combined with rescue breathing at a 30:2 ratio. Other updates address opioid overdoses, passive ventilation techniques, delays in rhythm checks, and use of feedback devices to optimize CPR performance.
Cpr 2015
This document summarizes guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and post-cardiac arrest care. It recommends performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute and a depth of 5-6 cm. Delayed ventilation without advanced airways for witnessed arrests with shockable rhythms is also suggested. Coronary angiography should be performed for comatose cardiac arrest patients and targeted temperature management at 32-36 degrees Celsius is recommended for 24 hours. Prognostication can begin 72 hours after cardiac arrest or return to normothermia for temperature-treated patients.
