PALS Written 2006 Precourse Self-Assessment ECG Rhythm Identification Answer Sheet
Pediatric ECG tip: In the absence of detectable pulses, this organized rhythm is one of the cardiac arrest rhythms—Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) (PEA). It is treated using the asystole/PEA portion of the PALS Pulseless Arrest algorithm. This particular rhythm may be described as an idioventricular escape rhythm (an escape rhythm originating from a slow ventricular pacemaker during periods of significant sinus bradycardia or high-grade AV block). It is characterized by wide QRS complexes, and it is often seen in the setting of a severely hypoxic-ischemic myocardium.
