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.

    • H&T Reversible Causes of Cardiac Arrest: Hypothermia
      Apr 16 2024

      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.

      Modifying the ACLS Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm for patients with severe hypothermia.

      Following the ACLS algorithm for patients with a body core temperature above 30 C.

      Methods for rewarming patients with moderate vs severe hypothermia.

      Continuation of CPR and ACLS efforts until the patient’s body core temp is above 36 C.

      Normal end tidal CO2 for patients with a pulse.

      Identification of cardiac arrest and our immediate actions.

      Providing artificial ventilations during CPR without an advanced airway vs with an advanced airway in place.

      Using quantitative waveform capnography to confirm placement of an advanced airway, assess the quality of CPR, and identify ROSC.

    • Medication Review: Calcium Channel Blockers
      Apr 15 2024

      Calcium is one of the ions that move across the cellular membrane during cardiac contraction and relaxation.

      The primary use of calcium channel blockers in ACLS is for the treatment of stable, narrow complex tachycardias refractory to Adenosine and to lower the blood pressure of ischemic stroke patients with severe hypertension.

      Use of calcium channel blockers for SVT refractory to Adenosine and A-Fib or A-Flutter with RVR.

      Contraindications of calcium channel blockers.

      Nicardipine use during the treatment of ischemic strokes.

      For more information on ACLS medications, tachycardia, or stroke check out the pod resource page at passacls.com.
