Used for shockable rhythms (VF/pVT) after the 3rd shock. Initial dose is 300mg, second dose is 150mg. 5. Reversible Causes (The H’s and T’s)
Tension pneumothorax, Tamponade (cardiac), Toxins, Thrombosis (pulmonary or coronary). 6. Post-Resuscitation Care If Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) is achieved: 2022-02-28 ALS.mp4
1 mg every 3–5 minutes. For non-shockable rhythms, give it as soon as possible. Used for shockable rhythms (VF/pVT) after the 3rd shock
Monitor waveform capnography to confirm tube placement and monitor CPR quality (aim for >10 mmHg). 3. Rhythm Analysis and Defibrillation Hydrogen ion (acidosis)
The team leader must quickly identify the cardiac rhythm to determine the treatment path.
Hypovolemia, Hypoxia, Hydrogen ion (acidosis), Hypo/Hyperkalemia, Hypothermia.
