For cardiac arrest, amiodarone is used after the third shock for ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia that is unresponsive to shock delivery, CPR, and vasopressors. For tachycardia with a pulse, amiodarone may be considered, and expert consultation should be obtained prior to its use....
ACLS teaches healthcare professionals advanced interventional protocols and algorithms for the treatment of cardiopulmonary emergencies. These include primary survey, secondary survey, advanced airways, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, tachycardias, bradycardias, and stroke. The treatment protocols have ...
The H’s and T’s of ACLS is a mnemonic used to help recall the major contributing factors to pulseless arrest including PEA, Asystole, Ventricular Fibrillation, and Ventricular Tachycardia. These H’s and T’s will most commonly be associated with PEA, but they will help direct your search...

(American Heart Association). These clinical algorithms help healthcare providers to treat serious cardiac conditions like ventricular fibrillation, tachycardia and A-systole. ACLS is not only designed to treat serious cardiac conditions, but also to find the underlying causes that results in these ...

1. What ACLS algorithm are you going to begin this scenario with ? Pulseless Arrest (VT/VF branch) Bradycardia (unstable branch) Pulseless Arrest (Asystole/PEA branch) Unstable Tachycardia 2. As an EMS provider in the out of hospital setting, your first step is to: Give epinephrine 1mg IV...
(ALS) is a medical protocol composed of algorithms following guidelines outlined by the American Heart Association. The protocol focuses on thetreatment of severe cardiovascular emergencies. These emergencies range from bradycardia (slow heartbeat) and tachycardia (fast heartbeat) to cardiac arrest, ...
