Adult Cardiac Arrest Code Flow
Manage episode 518828803 series 3289457
BLS & ACLS's Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm makes it easier to act as team leader during a code by following an If/Then methodology.
Review of BLS steps for determining if rescue breathing or CPR is needed and use of an AED for patients in cardiac arrest.
If the patient is in a non-shockable rhythm on the ECG such as PEA or asystole, we will go down the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm.
If the patient is in a shockable rhythm on the ECG such as V-Fib or V-Tach, we will go down the left side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm.
An example of a code's flow for shockable rhythms when an antiarrhythmic such as Amiodarone or Lidocaine is administered.
We will follow the algorithm until the patient has ROSC or we call the code.
Good luck with your ACLS class!
