Code Flow Using the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm
Manage episode 425861572 series 3289457
Being the team leader during a cardiac arrest is challenging. Using an algorithm helps by standardizing & prioritizing our interventions using 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.
