Even in our darkest moments, it's a good reminder to know God is there. Through the active power of God, we are able to find hope and strength in overcoming TTM. As my own courage rises, I want to be more translucent for you. I will be sharing my blog posts, my stories, and tactics I have used to help me overcome TTM. Overcoming TTM does not happen in a moment. Overcoming TTM is a daily choice. Healing is a journey, it's resisting and exchanging for a better way of life. www.imperfectionatbe ...

The goal of CPR is to keep the brain and vital organs perfused until return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved. Post-arrest care and recovery are the final two links in the chain of survival. Identification of ROSC during CPR. Initial patient management goals after identifying ROSC. The patient’s GCS/LOC should be evaluated to determine …

Heart muscle contraction and repolarization is dependent on Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium ions crossing cellular membranes. When a patient’s potassium levels get too low or too high, hypokalemia or hyperkalemia results respectively. Two things that may lead us to suspect hypo or hyperkalemia. Medical conditions & medications that can ca…

When treating patients having an MI or stroke, more minutes equals more dead cells. Because the majority of strokes are the ischemic type, the treatment for stroke is similar to an MI – to reestablish perfusion to the ischemic tissues. Review the first four steps in the Stroke Chain of Survival. Time criteria for the administration of tPA (or a sim…

To pass the written ACLS exam and mega code, students need to be able to identify basic ECG dysrhythmias, including the two types of second-degree heart block. One method of ECG rhythm identification is to ask a series of questions such as: What's the rate (<60, 60-100, 101-149, or >150); Is the rhythm regular or irregular; What's the shape, width,…

When treating patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), MONA is an acronym sometimes used to help us remember the initial interventions. The O in MONA is Oxygen. When we should administer oxygen to ACS patients. When O2 administration is unnecessary based on an accurate pulse ox. Monitoring patient's oxygen saturation (SaO2) using a pulse oximet…

Along with early defibrillation, high quality CPR with minimal interruptions is one of the two factors that has been shown to improve cardiac arrest outcomes. How do we know if high quality, effective CPR is being performed? Objective measures of good, high-quality CPR include: Compression rate; Compression depth & recoil; ETCO2; and Chest Compress…

The tongue is the most common airway obstruction in an unconscious patient. Insertion an oropharyngeal airway helps keep the patient’s tongue from falling to the back of the pharynx, causing an airway obstruction. The oropharyngeal airway is sometimes called an OPA or simply an oral airway. Indications for using an oral airway. Contraindication for…

Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen levels in the blood. Determining hypoxia using a pulse oximeter or arterial blood gasses (ABGs). A goal of ACLS is to recognize signs of hypoxia and provide timely treatment to prevent an arrest. Examples of some things that might lead us to think of hypoxia as a cause of cardiac arrest. Why we should not rely on pu…

Most ACLS medications are given IV push. But, what happens if we can't get an IV? Why IO is better than ETT as an alternative route. The locations we should place an IO when running a code and a location we should avoid. The ACLS medications that can be given intraosseous.

For apneic patients without a carotid pulse or patients with only gasping/agonal respirations, we will follow the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm. For pulseless patients that the AED doesn't advise a shock, the patient's ECG shows asystole, or a non-perfusing organized rhythm (PEA), we will follow the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm…

Providing good, high-quality CPR with minimal interruptions and early defibrillation are two key interventions shown to improved cardiac arrest outcomes. A training tool used in many CPR and ACLS classes is to use a song (or a song list) with a tempo of 100 to 120 beats per minute to help the person doing chest compressions maintain an adequate rat…

A patient’s medical history will help us identify things that may be causing (or contributing) to their current condition as well as guide our decisions so we provide the safest evidence-based care possible. Examples of information obtained in a medical history that will impact the treatment we provide. There are several mnemonics and memory aids t…

Hypothermic patients aren't dead until they are warm and dead. When a patient’s core body temperature drops below 96.8 F (36 C), they are hypothermic. As the body’s temperature drops below 36 C, hypothermia may further be classified as moderate or severe: Moderate if the patient’s body core temp is between 30-34 C; and Severe if it's below 30 C. Mo…
