Temporary cardiac pacing using pads applied externally to the
chest..it is a transcutaneous pacing also called external
pacing..It is hemodynamically significant for bradydysarrhythmias
when patient unresponsive to atropine..it treats arrhythmias and
plan for definitive pading if medical interventions are not
successful..|
firstline treatment:
1, sinus bradycardia - atropine?
Atropine, dopamine and epinephrine infusion is the first line
treatment for sinus bradycardia.
2, Vtach - cardioversion with pulse?
Verapamil (120 -480mg/day) is the immediate choice and beta
blockers useful for acute situation.if both management is failed we
can go for cardioversion defibrillator
3, Vfib - defibrillator?
Early treatment option is CPR and followed by automated external
defibrillators.
4, Afib- adenosine or diltazem IV?
Betablockers and calcium channel blockers are the first line
treatment(diltiazem , metoprolol,esmolol)
5, SVT - adenosine?
Drug of choice for acute therapy is adenosine or verapamil.
Firstline treatment
1, Atrial flutter?
Electrical cardioversion is the first line treatment to regulate
the heartbeat and atenolol, betablockers is the next choice of
treatment to slow the heart rate..
2, vent flutter?
CPR followed by defibrillator to bring the heart back to normal
activity this is the firstline treatment for ventricular
flutter
3, NSR with PAC?
Normal sinus rhythm with premature atrial contraction(PAC)
Betablockers and calcium channel blockers are the firstline
treatment.
4, Asystole?
CPR is the first choice treatment to bring back the patient cardiac
rhythm followed by epinephrine it helps increase blood flow to the
brain and heart..
What is transcutaneous pacing is for - for arterial dysthymia OR for rhythm requiring pacemaker? Explain....
transcutaneous pacing is for Choice 1: for atrial dysrhythm Choice 2: for rhythm requiring pacemaker Which one is correct?
This is an example of what type of heart rhythm? sal-ns-acls Asystole Ventricular fibrillation Normal sinus rhythm Atrial fibrillation Thirty ____________ and two ____________ equal one cycle of CPR. Chest compressions, ventilations Chest compressions, pulse checks Ventilations, compressions Chest compressions, jaw lifts Which of the following can be a result of prolonged asystole? Severe brain damage Lack of oxygen to vital organs Severe myocardial ischemia All of the above The following drugs and/or interventions may be used in the ACS...
What is caused by an accumulation of blood in the pericardial space that results in impaired systemic venous return, impaired ventricular filling, and reduced cardiac output? Tension pneumothorax Ductal-dependent congenital heart lesions Massive pulmonary embolism Cardiac tamponade If bradycardia (heart rate less than 60 beats per minute) with a pulse is associated with cardiopulmonary compromise despite effective oxygenation and ventilation, what is the next step in management? Administer atropine. Administer epinephrine. Consider cardiac pacing. Perform CPR. The first energy dose...

arrest. They are not breathing, have no pulse, and have no
suspected cervical spine trauma. Which maneuver should you use to
open the...
True or False: A nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) can be used on a semi-conscious or conscious individual, while an oropharyngeal airway (OPA) should only be used on an unconscious individual. True False True or False: An individual in PEA has an organized cardiac rhythm on ECG. True False True or False: Symptomatic bradycardia and poor perfusion may degrade into cardiac arrest.
