Arrest rhythms - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Treating Non-Shockable Rhythms The non-shockable rhythms (asystole and pulseless electrical activity) are the most common primary arrest rhythms in dogs and cats. In Module 2, we will discuss diagnosing the arrest rhythm using ECG analysis, and how that rhythm diagnosis guides ALS therapy. We will also discuss vasopressor therapy as a mainstay of treatment, as well as parasympatholytic drugs and additional therapies for prolonged asystole and prolonged PEA. ECG Interpretation: ECG analysis ...

ACLS MUST KNOW Updated (2022/2023) Revisions What is the recommended compression depth for adults and children? 2 inches What is the recommended compression depth for infants? 1 1/2 inches What can result if a patient is ventilated too quickly? hyperventilation -> excessive intrathoracic pressure and gastric inflation -> decreased venous return -> decreased coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures -> diminished cardiac output -> decreased rates of survival What two card...

Nitroprusside purpose - Answer- decreases preload and afterload by vasodilation (mainly afterload) Dobutamine mechanism of action - Answer- contractility Dopamine at a low-end dose "renal dose" - Answer- 0.5-4mcg/kg/min increases renal and mesentric perfusion Dopamine at a mid-range dose - Answer- 4-10mcg/kg/min increases contractility and heart rate Dopamine at a high-range dose - Answer- greater than 10mcg/kg/min vasoconstriction and increases BP Dopamine and Levophed inf...
