If the patient does not have a pulse, follow the ACLS Pulseless Arrest Algorithm. If the patient has a pulse, manage the patient using the ACLS Tachycardia Algorithm.

Using the Pulseless Arrest Algorithm for Managing PEA

Using the Pulseless Arrest Algorithm for Managing PEA Oct 6, 2017 Version control: This document is current with respect to 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC. These guidelines are current until they are replaced on October 2020. If you are reading this page after October 2020, please contact ACLS Training Center at support@acls.net for an updated document. Patients with PEA have poor outcomes. Their best chance of returning to a perfusing rhythm is through the quick identification of an underlying reversible cause and correct treatment. As you use the algorithm to manage the PEA patient, remember to consider all the H's and T's, particularly hypovolemia, which is the most common cause of PEA. Also look for drug overdoses or poisonings. Begin with the primary survey to assess the patient's condition: Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) occurs when you see a rhythm on the monitor that would normally be associated with a pulse, however the...

ABCDE OF RESUSCITATION

The ABCDE approach to resuscitation The ABCD of resuscitation, plays a vital role in assessing your patient, this is your initial assessment: A.......Airway and Cervical immobilization B...... Breathing and Ventilation C.......Circulation and hemorrhage control D.......Disability and Neurological deficit E...... Environment and Exposure First of all make sure that the scene is safe, wear the necessary PPEs Airway When you go to the patient tap for response, "hello can you hear me" if the patient is conscious and vocalising that indicates that the airway is patent, apply cervical collar for a trauma patient with suspected c-spine trauma. Breathing check for breathing, look listen and feel , check for use of accessory muscle and count respiration which is from 12-20c/m, auscultate the chest for lung sound, check Spo2 if need be deliver oxygen. Circulation Look at the colour hands and digit are they blue(cyanosis) or pink, check ...
