Q

VTach treatment

A

Bon Jovi rhythm- is the pt dead ( no pulse) or alive (pulse).

Alive, ok-no funnel drugs because it’s a v rhythm not through AV nose. Use amiodarone.

Unstable but pulse present- cardiovert

Dead- defibrillate

25
Worst pain types
Ischemic. | Fitting something through where it doesn't normally go- kidney stone, fall stone child birth.
26
ACLS step one
"Get an AED"! For adult For kid- start CPR
27

28
PEA causes and management
Drug overdose? K? Or needle? squeezed heart or lung (tamponade or tension pneumo)... Needle these others are HEAD Hypothermia, electrolytes, acidosis, drugs Hypothermia won't be on boards. Acidosis and electrolytes are one and the same because the problem Is K (with exception of aspirin of).
29
Common causes of hyper K
Lab error, dialysis pt
30
Narcan reverses which opiate sx
Mental status, respiratory rate, pupils Blood pressure will stay low
31
Why do TCAs cause arrhythmias?
Anticholinergic effect of sodium channel blockade has anticholinergic effect
32
How do you treat hyperkalmia acutely?
Calcium will stabilize the cell membrane- give this if ekg changes, it will give you 30 mins. Bicarbonate will push potassium into cell by causing metabolic alkalosis. Insulin will do this because k will follow glucose. High dose Proventil (neb) also works. Kayexalate po or pr- binds in GI tract and excretes it. Dialysis.
