How would this possibly work? What are we doing here? How could this possibly be effective? What is it that asking questions actually does for us? In this deep end of the pool, for what you experience as a suicide hotline counselor, what does that look like? How did that impact you? Were there questions that you found most impactful on that end? Are you feeling suicidal right now? Do you have a weapon? Do you have a plan? Do you have any objects to complete that plan with you right now? Are you comfortable being in a different room from it while we're having this conversation? When's the last time you slept? When's the last time you ate? Can we get some food in you? Can we take a walk? Do they know anything you're experiencing right now? If the roles were reversed and it were your partner or your cousin or your parent who were going through something like this, would you want them to tell you about it? Do you think they wanna know if you're going through a tough time? What if we had a space where we were all on the same page?

Hypoxia: An H&T Reversible Cause of Cardiac Arrest 5:51

9 hours yang lalu5:51

5:51

Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen levels in the blood. Determining hypoxia using a pulse oximeter or arterial blood gasses (ABGs). A goal of ACLS is to recognize signs of hypoxia and provide timely treatment to prevent an arrest . Examples of some things that might lead us to think of hypoxia as a cause of cardiac arrest. Why we should not rely on pulse ox to give accurate readings during CPR. Delivering ventilations with near 100% oxygen concentration using a BVM attached to supplemental O2 and a reservoir. Using end tidal waveform capnography to assess the quality of CPR. Changes to ventilation rates, tidal volume, and O2 concentration affects a patient's oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH. The danger of excessive ventilation of a patient in cardiac arrest. Good luck with your ACLS class!

The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same: 1. preparedness & recognition of an emergency; 2. activation of EMS; 3. delivery of Advanced Life Support; and 4. transporting to the most appropriate facility. ALS ambulances are staffed with paramedics who have training in ACLS skills. Why EMS "Destination Protocols" for suspected stroke and STEMI make a difference. ACLS’s timed benchmarks for: point of first medical contact to PCI for ST elevation MI; door to tPA for ischemic stroke; and onset of symptoms to EVT for LVO strokes. Why EMS should bypass a close hospital to transport a STEMI or suspected stroke patient to a hospital capable of 24/7 PCI or a certified stroke center. Good luck with your ACLS class!

As an ACLS provider you do not need to be familiar with all of the different signs of various types of poisoning. You should be able to obtain a history and know to order toxicology. The majority of toxins don’t have a specific antidote. There are a few toxins for which we have emergency interventions and ACLS providers should be familiar with. Reviewing the patient's medical history for indicators that may lead us to suspect a tablet/toxin cause of cardiac arrest. Administration of Narcan for suspected narcotics overdose following the Opioid Associated Emergency algorithm. Other common ACLS Tablet Toxin scenarios with possible treatments. Medications commonly used to treat specific toxins that are regularly stocked on crash carts or carried in EMS med bags. ACLS providers that suspect a specific toxin should consult with their Pharmacy or call Poison Control for treatment directions. Good luck with your ACLS class!

When To Use Which ACLS Algorithm 8:52

5 weeks yang lalu8:52

8:52

The ACLS algorithms are designed to make it easier to remember the key interventions we should deliver, and the order in which they should be delivered, to provide the best evidence-based care possible. Generally speaking, if there’s a change in a patient’s condition, we should ensure we’re using the correct algorithm. Three key points to remember when using ACLS algorithms: 1. If a patient’s condition changes, we should do an assessment and use the algorithm that matches the patient’s current state . 2. If an action was already done, we don’t need to repeat it. 3. We only do actions that are clinically appropriate and within our scope of practice. Walk through of an example mega code scenario with explanations of when and why we change to a different ACLS algorithm. Good luck with your ACLS class!

Hydrogen ions is on one of the Hs in ACLS's H&T reversible causes of cardiac arrest. When considering hydrogen ions as a cause, what we’re looking at is the patient’s pH, or acid/base balance, and conditions that affect it. The body's normal pH. Using patient history, ABGs, & labs to determine acidosis or alkalosis. Common conditions/causes that may lead us to suspect acidosis. Common conditions/causes that may lead us to suspect alkalosis. Correcting acidosis by changing the rate of ventilations. The indications, dose, and considerations for use of Sodium Bicarbonate. Treatment of alkalosis depends on the type (metabolic or respiratory) and is aimed at correcting the underlying cause. Other podcasts that cover acid/base balance and conditions that cause acidosis or alkalosis can be found on the Pod Resource Page at PassACLS.com. Good luck with your ACLS class!

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.

To pass ACLS, you will need to be able to identify common rhythms on a monitor during your mega code and ECG strips on your written exam. If you don't normally monitor patients as part of your job, I suggest two things: 1. Find a system for ECG interpretation that works well for you; and 2. Practice reading ECGs every day for a few weeks before your class. Review of normal ECG morphology of P wave, QRS complex, and T wave in lead II. Characteristics of first degree heart block. Characteristics of third degree (complete) AV block. Treatment of unstable patients in third degree block following the ACLS Bradycardia algorithm. Special considerations for use of Atropine when patients are in a third degree heart block. The use of TCP, Dopamine, & Epinephrine drip for unstable bradycardic patients refractory to Atropine.
