Pass ACLS Tip of the Day

De : Paul Taylor
  • Résumé

  • Like a daily audio flash card. This podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each one-to-nine minute Flash Briefing-style episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high-performing team to deliver quality care. Listening to a tip-of-the-day for 14-30 days prior to a class will help cement core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to the chain of survival core concepts and ACLS algorithms, specific information needed to pass the written exam and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.

    • Identification and Treatment of Unstable Bradycardia
      Jun 12 2024

      Patients with a heart rate less than 60 are bradycardic. Some people can have a resting heart rate in the 40s without any compromise. For others, a heart rate of 50 or less could signify the need for immediate intervention and warrants additional assessment.

      Signs & symptoms that indicate a bradycardic patient is unstable.

      Monitoring oxygen saturation with pulse oximetry and indications for administration of oxygen.

      Calcium channel blockers and beta blocker medication as treatable causes of bradycardia.

      The indications and dosage of Atropine.

      Precautions for Atropine use in patients with second or third degree AV blocks.

      The use of transcutaneous pacing (TCP) for unstable bradycardic patients refractory to Atropine.

      The use and dosing of Dopamine and Epinephrine drips.

      For additional information about causes and treatment of bradycardia, check out the pod resources page at PassACLS.com.

    • Post-Arrest Care & Targeted Temperature Management (TTM)
      Jun 11 2024

      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 if targeted temperature management (TTM) is indicated.

      Patients that cannot obey simple commands should receive TTM for at least 24 hours.

      Recently published studies on TTM and ACLS’s current standard.

      Monitoring the patient’s core temperature during TTM.

      Patients can undergo EEG, CT, MRI, & PCI while receiving TTM.

    • The Chain of Survival for Cardiac & Stroke Emergencies
      Jun 10 2024

      The chain of survival for ACLS is the same as was learned in your BLS class.

      The beginning steps of the Cardiac Emergency and Stroke chain of survival.

      ACLS's timed goals for first medical contact to PCI for STEMI and door-to-needle for ischemic stroke.

      Characteristics of areas that have significantly better stroke and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes.
