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...
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 happens when you feel your pulse? As yourhear...

Off-label uses of epinephrine include, but are not limited to,ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia, asystole (lack of heartbeat), pulseless electrical activity (PEA),croup, and severe asthma exacerbations unresponsive to standard treatment.5 ...
In electroencephalography,electrodesare used to detect electrical activity in thebrain. The electrical activity detected by the electrodes is recorded and converted into a format that can be examined by a doctor. The most common use of an electroencephalogram (EEG) is to diagnoseepilepsy. Electroence...

The two shockable conditions are pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, while the non-shockable conditions are when there is no pulsatile electrical activity in the heart or when the heart does not contract. Remember that an AED device is only effective on an electrically ...
Pulseless ventriculartachycardia.Your heart will beat so fast, it can’t pump blood. V-tach can be life-threatening if it lasts for more than a few seconds. It may turn into VFib. Your chances of V-tach are higher if you: Have a weak heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) ...

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. ...
