Q

Chain of survival

A

1) Early recognition and call for help
- to prevent cardiac arrest

2) Early CPR
- to buy time

3) Early defibrillation
- to restart the heart

4) Post CPR therapy
- to restore quality of life

Q

Chest compressions with advanced airway in place

A

Continuous

19
Q

Medications to give during ALS

A
  • Adrenaline every 3-5 min

- Amiodarone after 3 shocks

20
Q

Reversible causes of heart arrest

A

4 Hs and 4 Ts

1) Hypoxia
2) Hypovolemia
3) Hypo/hyperkalemia + metabolic
4) Hypo/hyperthermia

1) Thrombosis
2) Tension pneumothorax
3) Tamponade (cardiac)
4) Toxins

21
Q

Correction of hypokalemia

A

Mg + K

22
Q

Correction of hyperkalemiaa

A

Ca2+

23
Q

How to recognize ptx

A

Auscultation

24
Q

CPR devices

A
  • LUCAS

- AutoPulse

25
Q

IV during ALS

A
  • Peripheral first if not established yet

- Central line best if already established

26
Q

Peripheral venous access - which veins to avoid

A

Distal of cubitalis or diaphragm

27
Q

Intraosseous devices

A
  • FAST (hedgehog)
  • BIG (gun)
  • EZ-IO (drill)
28
Q

When and how much drug to give during ALS

A

Shock #3

  • 1 mg epinephrine
  • 300 mg amiodarone

Shock #5

  • 1 mg epinephrine
  • 150 mg amiodarone

Shock #7
- 1 mg epinephrine

29
Q

NTS

A

Non-technical skills

- e.g team work, communication

30
Q

RoSC

A

Return of spontaneous circulation

31
Q

PCAS / post cardiac arrest treatment (6)

A

1) ABCDE
2) Aim for O2 of 94-98 %
3) Aim for normal PaCO2
4) 12-lead ECG
5) Treat precipitating cause(s)
6) Targeted temperature management

32
Q

Severity of PCAS is related to

A
  • degree of ischemia
  • cause of cardiac arrest
  • patient´s condition before cardiac arrest
33
Q

Ventilation numbers

A
  • etCO2: 35-40 mmHg

- paCO2: 40-45 mmHg

34
Q

Spontaneous breathing activity =

A

Does NOT equal «adequate breathing»

35
Q

Visible breathing =

A
Respiratory insufficiency
(when ventillation makes WOB cease = adequate treatment)
36
Q

With intubation we bypass

A
  • The warming and moisturing function (nose)
  • The auto-PEEP (3-5 cmH20)
  • The mucociliary clearance of airways
37
Q

With intubation we increase:

A
  • Airway resistance (R~I; R~1/r^4) «straw»

- WOB (work of breathing)

38
Q

Target MAP

A

65-90 - (-100) mmHg

39
Q

Target Tcore

A

32-36 degrees (celcius)

40
Q

Post cardiac arrest temperature control duration

A

24 hours

41
Q

Methods of temperature control in post cardiac arrest pts

A
  • 30 ml/ttkg
  • 4 degr celcius crystalloid
  • (1,5 degr celcius / 30min)
42
Q

Use of Mg in maintenance of normothermia

A

Decreases shivering treshold

43
Q

Maintenance of normothermia

A
  • Sedation +/- neuromuscular blockade

- Mg (decrease shivering-treshold)
