MEGACODE Flashcards
WHAT ARE THE PULSELESS ALGORITHMS
VFIB/Pulseless VT (shock)(epi/amio/lido) and also PEA JUST CPR AND EPI
What’s in the PEA cycle?
Check Rhythm/pulse, 2min CPR,1mg Epi every 3-5- and check H(02,CO2,VOL,TEMP,K), T(Trauma/tox, TP/CT, THROMB L/H, ACS)
What are H/T ?
H(02,CO2,VOL,TEMP,potassium), T(Trauma/tox, Tension Pneumo/Cardiac Tamponade, THROMB L/H) and ACS
What are the only shockable rhythms?
Vent Fib and pulseless VT
What’s in the VF/pVT cycle?
check rhythm/pulse, SHOCK-2minCPR-check rhthym/pulse, SHOCK-2minCPR. In between EPI 1mg/AMIO 300/EPI 1mg/AMIO 150 (or LIDO 1.5, then 0.75mg/kg)
What are the only CARDIOVERT rhythms?
UNSTABLE TACH- with ST/SVT/AT/AFLTR 50J, AFIB/MONO VT 100J, POLY VT, 200J.
CALL MEDCON FOR POLYMORPH VTACH.
What is the only PACE rhythm?
UNSTABLE BRADY
STABLE BRADY - what do you do?
O2/IV/monitor/12 lead- watch vitals and observe - 12 lead

UNSTABLE TACHY - narrow/regular- - what do you do?
O2/IV/monitor- synchronized cardioversion @50J
UNSTABLE TACHY - narrow/irregular- - what do you do?
O2/IV/monitor- synchronized cardioversion AFLTR@50J and AFIB@100J
UNSTABLE TACHY - wide/regular- - what do you do?

UNSTABLE TACHY- wide/irregular - - what do you do?
O2/IV/monitor- synchronized cardioversion @200J- NO SYNC? DFIB AT 200J
ROSC? What do do now?
RELAX- YOU GOT PULSE. Get advanced airway ETT with cap @10BPM, 02-92-98%, CO2 35-45, SBP>90 or MAP>65 [temp therapy 30-32 NS, 1L bolus, Norepi 0.1-0.5mcg/g/min, or EPI 2-10cg/min or Dope 5-20 mcg/kg/min0, THE ANTI THAT BROKE IT, get 12 LEAD, check H and T

NO DRUGS UNTIL
MONITOR
TRISMUS- WHAT DO DO?
Try BVM with NPA first- if not. Then sedative and paralytic
TRISMUS-WHAT DOSES?
SUCCINYLCHOLINE (anectine), 1-2mg/KG rapid (repeat 1 if necessary/lasts 5-10 minutes), Versed(midazolam) 1-2mg, OR LORAZAPAM(ativan) 2mg IV diluted, 4mg IM (15-30min) no prego.

Antiarrhythmics list
Atropine 4 brady (stops brakes), Adenosine first line 4 ST/SVT/AT/ and MONOVT (fast/liquid dfib 6-6-12 slows AV node), Cardizem 4 Afib/fltr (slows rate/sa and av conduction), Amioderone 4 monoVtach (prolongs abs refract period), Lidocaine 4 mono vtach (decreases irritibility) , Procainamide for monoVtach (slows vent conduction)
