Q

management of unstable adult tachycardia?

(i.e. adverse features e.g. shock, syncope, MI, heart failure

A
  1. synchronised DC shock (up to 3 attempts)
  2. seek expert help
  3. amiodarone 300mg IV over 10-20 mins
  4. repeat shock
  5. amiodarone 900mg IV over 24h
20
Q

treatment of narrow complex (QRS <0.12s) tachycardia with regular rhythm

A
  1. vasal maneuvres
  2. adenosine 6mg rapid IV bolus (if no effect give 12mg, if no effect give further 12mg)
21
Q

treatment of narrow complex (QRS <0.12s) tachycardia with irregular rhythm

A

probable AF

  • control rate with beta blocker or diltiazem
  • if in heart failure consider digoxin or amiodarone
22
Q

management of bradycardia with adverse features (e.g. shock, syncope, MI, heart failure, risk of asystole)

A

atropine 500 mcg IV

repeat to max of 3mg if no satisfactory response OR transcutaneous pacing

23
Q

what alternative mediation may be given for bradycardia caused by a beta-blocker or CCB?

5 initial rescue breaths then compressions and breaths in ratio of 15:2

25
Q

Newborn life support

  1. immediate step to maintain temperature?

  3. if gasping or not breathing…
  4. reassess. If no increase in HR, look for chest movement during inflation
  5. if chest not moving
A
  1. dry the baby
  2. .
  3. open airway, give 5 inflation breaths. Consider SpO2 +/- ECG monitoring
  4. .
  5. recheck head position, consider 2 person airway control and other airway manouvres. Repeat inflation breaths
