Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) refers to a medical condition in which the electrical activity or rhythm of a person's heart is relatively normal but the mechanical pumping action of the heart does not respond. This lack of response results in cardiac arrest. A patient who has PEA has no...
Can you have a heartbeat but no pulse? Pulseless electrical activity(PEA) refers to cardiac arrest in which the electrocardiogram shows a heart rhythm that should produce a pulse, but does not. Pulseless electrical activity is found initially in about 55% of people in cardiac arrest. What happ...

Cardiac arrest requires quick action. POCUS is regularly used during cardiac resuscitation, often combined with rhythm strip data. It can also help determine anatomic causes of pulseless electrical activity, including pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade, and tension pneumothorax. Trauma Ultrasound is ofte...
