Introduction:Respiratory failure is a common cause of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and asystolic cardiac arrest, but the changes in heart rate (HR) pre-arrest are not well described. We describe HR dynamics prior to in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) among PEA/asystole arrest patients with...
Always verify that a reading of asystole is not an equipment failure. Make sure pads make good contact with the individual, all cables are connected, the gain is set appropriately, and the power is on. Hypovolemia and hypoxia are easily reversed and are the two most common causes of PEA. ...

Introduction: Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is an increasingly common presentation in cardiac arrest. The aim of this study was to investigate possible associations between early ECG patterns in PEA and the underlying causes and survival of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).Bergum, DanielSkje...
hospitals. ECG, chest compressions and ventilations were recorded by defibrillators during CPR. Clinical states were annotated using a graphical application. We quantified the transition intensities from PEA to ROSC (i.e. the immediate probability of a transition), and the observed half-lives for ...
Background:Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is the most common rhythm during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) with a prevalence around 50%. Knowing the prognosis of PEA evolution towards return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) could help optimizing both resuscitation maneuvers and pharmacological ...
Several hours later, while extubation was being considered, new ECG observations included ST elevation and sinus bradycardia. Subsequently, first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block deteriorated to complete AV block, then PEA (Fig. 1). Advanced life support was implemented. Transthoracic echocardiography ...
