17
Q

Asystole

Outside Hospital

A

Associated w/ poor ROSC & survival

Often d/t prolonged hypoxia & represents terminal rhythm

18
Q

Asystole

OR

A

Initial rhythm response to vagal stimulation
More likely to reverse & associated w/ good prognosis
Examples: Insufflation or carotid massage

19
Q

Prolonged Arrest

A

Lengthy low-flow intervals, inadequate perfusion, myocardial and cerebral injury

20
Q

What timeframe predicts mortality?

A

CPR > 15min

21
Q

How many CPR hours have been reported in anesthesia-related events w/ good outcome?

A

3 hours

22
Q

When to activate ECMO?

A

After 10min failed resuscitation w/ reversible conditions

23
Q

Periop Cardiopulmonary Arrest

A
  • Inhalational induction 25% (laryngospasm, agent overdose, depressed myocardial function)
  • Craniofacial or spine surgery d/t hypovolemia, blood loss, or VAE
  • Hyperkalemia d/t rapid RBC transfusion
  • VP shunt malfunction ↑ICP
  • LAST
  • Anaphylaxis
24
Q

LAST Treatment

A

IV 20% lipid emulsion 1.5mL/kg over 1min

Followed by 0.25mL/kg/min infusion over 10min

25
Q

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

A
  1. Recognize need CPR
  2. Know how to correctly perform (oxygenation, ventilation, circulation, defibrillation/cardioversion)
  3. Vascular access
  4. Medications
  5. Teamwork
  6. Documentation
  7. Post-resuscitation care
  8. Self-care post critical incident
26
Q

When to begin chest compressions?

A

HR < 60bpm

Children are HR dependent

27
Q

Newborn Pulse Check

A

Umbilicus
EKG
Brachial

28
Q

Infant Pulse Check

A

Brachial or femoral artery

29
Q

Child Pulse Check

A

Carotid or femoral

30
Q

Other considerations during pediatric emergency include:

A

100% FiO2

Discontinue all anesthetics

31
Q

Newborn BLS

A
Compressions 90/min
1/3 chest anterior-posterior diameter
2 encircling thumbs
Lower 1/3 sternum
Breaths 30/min
32
Q

Infant BLS

A
Compressions 100-120/min
1/3 chest AP diameter (4cm)
2 encircling thumbs
Lower 1/3 sternum
Breaths 10/min
33
Q

Child BLS

A
Compressions 100-120/min
1/3 chest AP diameter (5cm)
1 or 2 hands
Lower 1/3 sternum
Breaths 10/min
34
Q

Depth 5-6cm 
2 hands
Lower 1/2 sternum
Breaths 10/min
35
Q

When to intubate?

A
Recommended during CPR in the OR
Ensure adequate ventilation
↓aspiration risk
Minimal interruptions to compressions w/ trained anesthesia providers
Check correct placement
