PDF Version  Post-arrest Order the full set of printed crash cart cards  Order now  $40 Using the BLS Healthcare Provider Algorithm for Managing VF and Pulseless VT The BLS (basic life support) Primary Survey is used in all cases of cardiac arrest. For any emergency, you first see if the patient is responsive, call EMS, and find an AED. For this case, you assess a person without a pulse; you do not have an emergency care team to work with you. Initial Assessment: Make sure the scene is safe. Tap shoulder and ask, "Are you all right?" If the pat...

ACLS TACHYCARDIA ALGORITHMS

ACLS Tachycardia Algorithm for Managing Stable Tachycardia 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. PDF Version  Print PDF Order the full set of printed crash cart cards  Order now  $40 Using the ACLS Tachycardia Algorithm for Managing Stable Tachycardia The key to managing a patient with any tachycardia is to check if pulses are present, decide if the patient is stable or unstable, and then treat the patient based on the patient's condition and rhythm. 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. Definition of Stable Tachycardia For...
