Two RCTs compared a strategy of targeting highnormal Paco2 (4446 mmHg) with one targeting low-normal Paco. Biphasic and monophasic shock waveforms are likely equivalent in their clinical outcome efficacy. The effectiveness of CPR appears to be maximized with the victim in a supine position and the rescuer kneeling beside the victims chest (eg, out-of-hospital) or standing beside the bed (eg, in-hospital). It is reasonable for prehospital ALS providers to use the adult ALS TOR rule to terminate resuscitation efforts in the field for adult victims of OHCA. . The 2020 ILCOR systematic review evaluated studies that obtained serum biomarkers within the first 7 days after arrest and correlated serum biomarker concentrations with neurological outcome. If pharmacological therapy is unsuccessful for the treatment of a hemodynamically stable wide-complex tachycardia, cardioversion or seeking urgent expert consultation is reasonable. Toxicity: -adrenergic blockers and calcium referral to rehabilitation services or patient outcomes? However, good outcomes have been observed with rapid resternotomy protocols when performed by experienced providers in an appropriately equipped ICU. 5. 2. Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 are supported by the 2020 CoSTR for BLS.4 Recommendation 4 last received formal evidence review in 2010.17, Recommendations 1 and 4 are supported by the 2020 CoSTR for BLS.4 Recommendations 2, 3, 5, and 6 last received formal evidence review in 2015.31, Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 are supported by the 2020 CoSTR for BLS.4 Recommendation 4 last received formal evidence review in 2010.44, These recommendations are supported by the 2020 CoSTRs for BLS and ALS.4,49. It is reasonable for a rescuer to use mouth-to-nose ventilation if ventilation through the victims mouth is impossible or impractical. 4. 3. Central venous access is primarily used in the hospital setting because it requires appropriate training to acquire and maintain the needed skill set. IV diltiazem or verapamil can be effective for acute treatment in patients with hemodynamically stable SVT at a regular rate. A case series suggests that mouth-to-nose ventilation in adults is feasible, safe, and effective. Should severely hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest receive epinephrine or other resuscitation Nonvasopressor medications during cardiac arrest. If atropine is ineffective, either alternative agents to increase heart rate and blood pressure or transcutaneous pacing are reasonable next steps. shock or electric instability improve outcomes? For a victim with a tracheal stoma who requires rescue breathing, either mouth-to-stoma or face mask (pediatric preferred) tostoma ventilation may be reasonable. The clinical manifestations of bradycardia can range from an absence of symptoms to symptomatic bradycardia (bradycardia associated with acutely altered mental status, ischemic chest discomfort, acute heart failure, hypotension, or other signs of shock that persist despite adequate airway and breathing). Torsades de pointes is a form of polymorphic VT that is associated with a prolonged heart ratecorrected QT interval when the rhythm is normal and VT is not present. Quantitative waveform capnography - If Petco 2 <10 mm Hg, attempt to improve CPR quality. Recognition that all cardiac arrest events are not identical is critical for optimal patient outcome, and specialized management is necessary for many conditions (eg, electrolyte abnormalities, pregnancy, after cardiac surgery). The peripheral IV route has been the traditional approach to vascular access for emergency drug and fluid administration during resuscitation. The treatment of nonconvulsive seizures (diagnosed by EEG only) may be considered. If this is not known, defibrillation at the maximal dose may be considered. These recommendations are supported by Cardiac Arrest in Pregnancy: a Scientific Statement From the AHA9 and a 2020 evidence update.30, This topic was reviewed in an ILCOR systematic review for 2020.1 PE is a potentially reversible cause of shock and cardiac arrest. Importantly, recommendations are provided related to team debriefing and systematic feedback to increase future resuscitation success. Release the pressure. 3. A single shock strategy is reasonable in preference to stacked shocks for defibrillation in the setting of unmonitored cardiac arrest. When performed with other prognostic tests, it may be reasonable to consider bilaterally absent N20 somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) waves more than 24 h after cardiac arrest to support the prognosis of poor neurological outcome. 1. The intent of precordial thump is to transmit the mechanical force of the thump to the heart as electric energy analogous to a pacing stimulus or very low-energy shock (depending on its force) and is referred to as, Fist, or percussion, pacing is administered with the goal of stimulating an electric impulse sufficient to cause depolarization and contraction of the myocardium, resulting in a pulse. This Part of the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care includes recommendations for clinical care of adults with cardiac arrest, including those with life-threatening conditions in whom cardiac arrest is imminent, and after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest. This is particularly true in first aid and BLS, where determination of the presence of a pulse is unreliable. No shock waveform has proved to be superior in improving the rate of ROSC or survival. The BLS TOR rule recommends TOR when all of the following criteria apply before moving to the ambulance for transport: (1) arrest was not witnessed by EMS providers or first responder; (2) no ROSC obtained; and (3) no shocks were delivered. overdose with naloxone? This approach is supported by animal studies and human case reports and has recently been systematically reviewed.4. Each of the 2020 Guidelines documents were submitted for blinded peer review to 5 subject-matter experts nominated by the AHA. Although there is no evidence examining the effectiveness of their use during cardiac arrest, oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways can be used to maintain a patent airway and facilitate appropriate ventilation by preventing the tongue from occluding the airway. The 2020 Guidelines are organized into knowledge chunks, grouped into discrete modules of information on specific topics or management issues.5 Each modular knowledge chunk includes a table of recommendations that uses standard AHA nomenclature of COR and LOE. do they differ from current generic or clinician-derived measures? and 2. 3. Recommendations 1, 2, and 6 last received formal evidence review in 2015.21 Recommendations 3, 4, and 5 are supported by the 2020 CoSTR for BLS.22, This recommendation is supported by a 2020 ILCOR scoping review, which found no new information to update the 2010 recommendations.22,31, This recommendation is supported by a 2020 ILCOR scoping review,22 which found no new information to update the 2010 recommendations.31, Recommendations 1 and 2 are supported by the 2020 CoSTR for BLS.22 Recommendation 3 last received formal evidence review in 2010.46, This recommendation is supported by the 2020 CoSTR for ALS.51. performed by the provider with the most experience with airway management using video-laryngoscopy to minimize the number of attempts and the risk of transmission.3 Third, more data are needed to clarify which pa-tients with COVID-19 are least likely to benefit from CPR. The Level of Evidence (LOE) is based on the quality, quantity, relevance, and consistency of the available evidence. 2. One large RCT in OHCA comparing bag-mask ventilation with endotracheal intubation (ETI) in a physician-based EMS system showed no significant benefit for either technique for 28-day survival or survival with favorable neurological outcome. In patients with -adrenergic blocker overdose who are in refractory shock, administration of high-dose insulin with glucose is reasonable. When providing rescue breaths, it may be reasonable to give 1 breath over 1 s, take a "regular" (not deep) breath, and give a second rescue breath over 1 s. 3: Harm. Administration of IV amiodarone, procainamide, or sotalol may be considered for the treatment of wide-complex tachycardia. If an advanced airway is used in the in-hospital setting by expert providers trained in these procedures, either a supraglottic airway or an endotracheal tube placement can be used. If recurrent opioid toxicity develops, repeated small doses or an infusion of naloxone can be beneficial. 2. Because any single method of neuroprognostication has an intrinsic error rate and may be subject to confounding, multiple modalities should be used to improve decision-making accuracy. After cardiac arrest is recognized, the Chain of Survival continues with activation of the emergency response system and initiation of CPR. Although cardiac arrest due to carbon monoxide poisoning is almost always fatal, studies about neurological sequelae from less-severe carbon monoxide poisoning may be relevant. If increased auto-PEEP or sudden decrease in blood pressure is noted in asthmatics receiving assisted ventilation in a periarrest state, a brief disconnection from the bag mask or ventilator with compression of the chest wall to relieve air-trapping can be effective. For a child, open the airway to a slightly past-neutral position using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique; For a baby, open the airway to a neutral position using the head-tilt/chin-lift technique; Blow into the child or baby's mouth for about 1 second Ensure each breath makes the chest rise; Allow the air to exit before giving the next breath What is the correct order of steps of the Pediatric Out-of-Hospital Chain of Survival? Because of their longer duration of action, antiarrhythmic agents may also be useful to prevent recurrences of wide-complex tachycardia. Do prophylactic antiarrhythmic medications on ROSC after successful defibrillation decrease arrhythmia Priorities for the pregnant woman in cardiac arrest should include provision of high-quality CPR and relief of aortocaval compression through left lateral uterine displacement. Human experimental data suggest that benzodiazepines (diazepam, lorazepam), alpha blockers (phentolamine), calcium channel blockers (verapamil), morphine, and nitroglycerine are all safe and potentially beneficial in the cocaine-intoxicated patient; no data are available comparing these approaches.15 Contradictory data surround the use of -adrenergic blockers.68 Patients suffering from cocaine toxicity can deteriorate quickly depending on the amount and timing of ingestion. Key topics in postresuscitation care that are not covered in this section, but are discussed later, are targeted temperature management (TTM) (Targeted Temperature Management), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in cardiac arrest (PCI After Cardiac Arrest), neuroprognostication (Neuroprognostication), and recovery (Recovery). There are many alternative CPR techniques being used, and many are unproven. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Formula for Survival emphasizes 3 essential components for good resuscitation outcomes: guidelines based on sound resuscitation science, effective education of the lay public and resuscitation providers, and implementation of a well-functioning Chain of Survival.4, These guidelines contain recommendations for basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) for adult patients and are based on the best available resuscitation science. The rationale for a single shock strategy, in which CPR is immediately resumed after the first shock rather than after serial stacked shocks (if required) is based on a number of considerations. The suggestion to administer epinephrine was strengthened to a recommendation based on a systematic review and meta-analysis. It is preferable to avoid hypotension by maintaining a systolic blood pressure of at least 90 mm Hg and a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mm Hg in the postresuscitation period. 2. There is also inconsistency in definitions used to describe specific findings and patterns. These proteins are absorbed into blood in the setting of neurological injury, and their serum levels reflect the degree of brain injury. 3. The precordial thump should not be used routinely for established cardiac arrest. Much of the published research involves patients whose arrests were presumed to be of cardiac origin and in settings with short EMS response times. These recommendations are supported by the 2018 American College of Cardiology, AHA, and Heart Rhythm Society guideline on the evaluation and management of patients with bradycardia and cardiac conduction delay.16. 1. Breath stacking in an asthma patient with limited ability to exhale can lead to increases in intrathoracic pressure, decreases in venous return and coronary perfusion pressure, and cardiac arrest. Should there be physiological evidence of return of circulation such as an arterial waveform or abrupt rise in ETCO2 after shock, a pause of chest compressions briefly for confirmatory rhythm analysis may be warranted. If an advanced airway is used, a supraglottic airway can be used for adults with OHCA in settings with low tracheal intubation success rates or minimal training opportunities for endotracheal tube placement. Case reports have rarely described damage to the heart due to external chest compressions. Drug administration by central venous access (by internal jugular or subclavian vein) achieves higher peak concentrations and more rapid circulation times than drugs administered by peripheral IV do, Endotracheal drug administration is regarded as the least-preferred route of drug administration because it is associated with unpredictable (but generally low) drug concentrations. 4. In the absence of knowing the manufacturers recommendation for appropriate energy settings, the previous 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (and reaffirmed in 2015) recommendations for synchronized cardioversion are still applicable [Narrow regular: 50-100 J; Narrow irregular: 120-200 J biphasic or 200 J monophasic; Wide regular: 100 J; Wide irregular: defibrillation dose (not synchronized)]. However, electric cardioversion may not be effective for automatic tachycardias (such as ectopic atrial tachycardias), entails risks associated with sedation, and does not prevent recurrences of the wide-complex tachycardia. Before embarking on empirical drug therapy, obtaining a 12-lead ECG and/or seeking expert consultation for diagnosis is encouraged, if available. 1. 1. Flumazenil, a specific benzodiazepine antagonist, restores consciousness, protective airway reflexes, and respiratory drive but can have significant side effects including seizures and arrhythmia.1 These risks are increased in patients with benzodiazepine dependence and with coingestion of cyclic antidepressant medications. When performed with other prognostic tests, it may be reasonable to consider extensive areas of restricted diffusion on brain MRI at 2 to 7 days after cardiac arrest to support the prognosis of poor neurological outcome in patients who remain comatose. VF is the presenting rhythm in 25% to 50% of cases of cardiac arrest after cardiac surgery. If a victim is unconscious/unresponsive, with absent or abnormal breathing (ie, only gasping), the lay rescuer should assume the victim is in cardiac arrest. Resuscitation causes, processes, and outcomes are very different for OHCA and IHCA, which are reflected in their respective Chains of Survival (Figure 1). Because chest compression fraction of at least 60% is associated with better resuscitation outcomes, compression pauses for ventilation should be as short as possible. If cardiac arrest develops as the result of cocaine toxicity, there is no evidence to suggest deviation from standard BLS and ALS guidelines, with specific treatment strategies used in the postcardiac arrest phase as needed if there is evidence of severe cardiotoxicity or neurotoxicity. There is no proven benefit from the use of antihistamines, inhaled beta agonists, and IV corticosteroids during anaphylaxis-induced cardiac arrest. How is cpr performed differently when an advanced airway is in place See answer Advertisement 4631001552 Answer: Once an advanced airway is in place rescuers are no longer delivering cycles of CPR. In addition, status myoclonus may have an EEG correlate that is not clearly ictal but may have prognostic meaning, and additional research is needed to delineate these patterns. Current literature is largely observational, and some treatment decisions are based primarily on the physiology of pregnancy and extrapolations from nonarrest pregnancy states.9 High-quality resuscitative and therapeutic interventions that target the most likely cause of cardiac arrest are paramount in this population. Verapamil should not be administered for any wide-complex tachycardia unless known to be of supraventricular origin and not being conducted by an accessory pathway. Although not new, this is a 2015 American Heart Association guideline. The toxicity of cyanide is predominantly due to the cessation of aerobic cell metabolism. Many of these were reviewed in an evidence update provided in the 2020 COSTR for ALS.2 Many uncertainties within the topic of TTM remain, including whether temperature should vary on the basis of patient characteristics, how long TTM should be maintained, and how quickly it should be started. 1. Management of acute PE is determined by disease severity.2 Fulminant PE, characterized by cardiac arrest or severe hemodynamic instability, defines the subset of massive PE that is the focus of these recommendations. and 2. Immediate pacing might be considered in unstable patients with high-degree AV block when IV/IO access is not available. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller tubules called bronchioles. This concern is especially pertinent in the setting of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Neuroprognostication that uses multimodal testing is felt to be better at predicting outcomes than is relying on the results of a single test to predict poor prognosis. In light of the complexity of postarrest patients, a multidisciplinary team with expertise in cardiac arrest care is preferred, and the development of multidisciplinary protocols is critical to optimize survival and neurological outcome. We recommend targeted temperature management for pregnant women who remain comatose after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. The acute respiratory failure that can precipitate cardiac arrest in asthma patients is characterized by severe obstruction leading to air trapping. Resuscitation should generally be conducted where the victim is found, as long as high-quality CPR can be administered safely and effectively in that location. Whether treatment of seizure activity on EEG that is not associated with clinically evident seizures affects outcome is currently unknown. When significant CAD is observed during post-ROSC coronary angiography, revascularization can be achieved safely in most cases.5,7,9 Further, successful PCI is associated with improved survival in multiple observational studies.2,6,7,10,11 Additional benefits of evaluation in the cardiac catheterization laboratory include discovery of anomalous coronary anatomy, the opportunity to assess left ventricular function and hemodynamic status, and the potential for insertion of temporary mechanical circulatory support devices. Prompt systemic anticoagulation is generally indicated for patients with massive and submassive PE to prevent clot propagation and support endogenous clot dissolution over weeks. The 2015 Guidelines Update recommended emergent coronary angiography for patients with ST-segment elevation on the post-ROSC ECG. Effective ventilation of the patient with a tracheal stoma may require ventilation through the stoma, either by using mouth-to-stoma rescue breaths or by use of a bag-mask technique that creates a tight seal over the stoma with a round, pediatric face mask. The head tiltchin lift has been shown to be effective in establishing an airway in noncardiac arrest and radiological studies. Cough CPR is described as repeated deep breaths followed immediately by a cough every few seconds in an attempt to increase aortic and intracardiac pressures, providing transient hemodynamic support before a loss of consciousness. Part 2: Evidence Evaluation and Guidelines Development, Part 3: Adult Basic and Advanced Life Support, Part 4: Pediatric Basic and Advanced Life Support, Part 9: COVID-19 Interim Guidance for Healthcare Providers, Part 10: COVID-19 Interim Guidance for EMS, 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Energy setting specifications for cardioversion also differ between defibrillators. In some instances, prognostication and withdrawal of life support may appropriately occur earlier because of nonneurologic disease, brain herniation, patients goals and wishes, or clearly nonsurvivable situations. There are three main takeaways from this section: It's important to establish w ProCPR by ProTrainings Course Details CPR + First Aid for Adults CPR + First Aid for All Ages First Aid General CPR for Adults What is the ideal initial dose of naloxone in a setting where fentanyl and fentanyl analogues are This Recovery link highlights the enormous recovery and survivorship journey, from the end of acute treatment for critical illness through multimodal rehabilitation (both short- and long-term), for both survivors and families after cardiac arrest. Pharmacological and mechanical therapies to rapidly reverse pulmonary artery occlusion and restore adequate pulmonary and systemic circulation have emerged as primary therapies for massive PE, including fulminant PE.2,6 Current advanced treatment options include systemic thrombolysis, surgical or percutaneous mechanical embolectomy, and ECPR. This creates a definitive airway so the air can't escape and end up in the stomach. 5. Instead, the compressing rescuer should give continuous chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute without pauses for ventilation. Airway, ventilation, and oxygenation are particularly important in the setting of pregnancy because of increased maternal metabolism and decreased functional reserve capacity due to the gravid uterus, making pregnant patients more prone to hypoxia. Prompt treatment of cardiac glycoside toxicity is imperative to prevent or treat life-threatening arrhythmias. 2. 1. Though effective for treating a wide-complex tachycardia known to be of supraventricular origin and not involving accessory pathway conduction, verapamils negative inotropic and hypotensive effects can destabilize VT. thrombolysis during resuscitation? Evidence suggests that patients who are comatose after ROSC benefit from invasive angiography, when indicated, as do patients who are awake. 4. The usefulness of double sequential defibrillation for refractory shockable rhythm has not been established. Saturday: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. CT What is the optimal approach, vasopressor or transcutaneous pacing, in managing symptomatic Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. An older systematic review identified 22 case reports of CPR being performed in the prone position (21 in the operating room, 1 in the intensive care unit [ICU]), with 10/22 patients surviving. A wide-complex tachycardia is defined as a rapid rhythm (generally 150 beats/min or more when attributable to an arrhythmia) with a QRS duration of 0.12 seconds or more. Thus, the confidence in the prognostication of the diagnostic tests studied is also low. Circulation. 2. DWI/ADC is a sensitive measure of injury, with normal values ranging between 700 and 800106 mm2 /s and values decreasing with injury. 3. While hemodynamically stable rhythms afford an opportunity for evaluation and pharmacological treatment, the need for prompt electric cardioversion should be anticipated in the event the arrhythmia proves unresponsive to these measures or rapid decompensation occurs. Circulation Obtain IV or IO access. Care of any patient with cardiac arrest in the setting of acute exacerbation of asthma begins with standard BLS. While an expeditious trial of medications and/or fluids may be appropriate in some cases, unstable patients or patients with ongoing cardiac ischemia with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter need to be cardioverted promptly. Sedatives and neuromuscular blockers may be metabolized more slowly in postcardiac arrest patients, and injured brains may be more sensitive to the depressant effects of various medications. AED indicates automated external defibrillator; ALS, advanced life support; BLS, basic life support; and CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Step 5. Perimortem cesarean delivery (PMCD) at or greater than 20 weeks uterine size, sometimes referred to as resuscitative hysterotomy, appears to improve outcomes of maternal cardiac arrest when resuscitation does not rapidly result in ROSC (Figure 15).1014 Further, shorter time intervals from arrest to delivery appear to lead to improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.15 However, the clinical decision to perform PMCDand its timing with respect to maternal cardiac arrestis complex because of the variability in level of practitioner and team training, patient factors (eg, etiology of arrest, gestational age), and system resources. Because placement of an advanced airway may result in interruption of chest compressions, a malpositioned device, or undesirable hyperventilation, providers should carefully weigh these risks against the potential benefits of an advanced airway. The key drivers of successful resuscitation from OHCA are lay rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and public use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
