CLINICAL SCENARIO
You arewaiting 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

DRUGS
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?
11.
CONDUCTING
SYSTEM &
ECG
ECG interpretationis guided by three
questions:
1. Is the rhythm fast or slow?
2. Are the QRS complexes wide or
narrow?
3. Is the rhythm regular or irregular
13.
Proper position ofrescuer: shoulders directly
over victim's sternum; elbows locked
HIGH QUALITY CPR
Changesin 2015 :
Chest compressions at 100 – 120 /min
Depth of 2 inches maximum 2.5 inches
Do not lean on patient in between compressions
17.
Defibrillation bundle
1. Attachand charge the defibrillator while continuing
HQ CPR.
2. Stop compressions and assess rhythm (should take
no more than 5 seconds).
3. If VF or VT is present, deliver shock; if non-
shockable rhythm is present, resume HQ CPR.
4. Resume HQ Chest compressions immediately after
the shock is delivered.
Antiarrhythmics in VF
andpulseless 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
