ACLS Review

epinephrine: drug used in asystole and PEA
nitroglycerin: venodilator used cautiously in patients with inadequate ventricular preload
clear messages: concise communication in a controlled tone of voice
vasopressin: may be used in place of epinephrine for the 1st or 2nd dose
pulse: this is checked for 5-10 seconds
atropine: drug used in bradycardia
aspirin: dose of this medication is 160-325 mg and given when patients present with chest pain
responsiveness: first thing you check when you approach a potential victim
hemorrhagic: this type of stroke cannot receive fibrinolytics
amiodorone: antiarrhythmic drug used in ventricular rhythms
therapeutic hypothermia: this is done after achieving ROSC to preserve brain function
ventilations: this is done every 5-6 seconds in patients in respiratory arrest
suctioning: this should not exceed 10 seconds and is done while withdrawing the catheter
defibrillation: most effective way to treat ventricular fibrillation
clear: what you do prior to defibrillating a patient
biphasic defibrillators: recommended joules is 120-200J in this equipment
CPR: what is done immediately following defibrillation
compressions: In adults and children, the depth of this is 2 inches
waveform capnography: this measures the CO2 during ventilations and compressions, normal for adequate ventilations is 35-40 mmg Hg.
intravenous: the recommended route of administering drugs during resuscitation
normal saline: when the patient has achieved ROSC, it is recommended to give 1-2 Liters of this
systolic blood pressure: this must be maintained > 90 mm Hg after achieving ROSC
oxygen: this is administered to patients with chest pain if they are hypoxic or dyspneic
morphine: this drug is important in treating ACS because it reduces left ventricular preload and oxygen requirements
tachyarrythmia: in this rhythm, the heart rate is >100 bpm
bradycardia: the heart rate is < 50 bpm in this rhythm
synchronized: this type of cardioversion must be done when a patient has a pulse
ventricular tachycardia: this is a monomorphic wide complex ventricular arrhythmia
supraventricular tachycardia: this is a narrow complex ventricular arrhythmia
adenosine: used to treat SVT and stable ventricular tachycardia
CT scan: this must be interpreted within 45 minutes of a possible stroke patients arrival to ED
