Nigerian paramedics engaging on BLS training with CCTV Personnel


CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS)

CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) training is required of many health-care professionals and lay rescuers to help revive, resuscitate, or sustain a person who is experiencing cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. 

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults and 88% of all cardiac arrest happen in people’s homes. Providing CPR can double a person’s chance of survival.......

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...

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.
