Advanced Cardiac Life Support Guide

1) The document provides an asystole algorithm for advanced cardiac life support. 2) It describes the steps to take which include high quality CPR, defibrillation if indicated, drug therapy including epinephrine, advanced airway placement, and addressing reversible causes. 3) For asystole specifically, it indicates the rhythm will be a flat line on the monitor, epinephrine should be administered every 3-5 minutes, and an advanced airway should be placed if possible while maintaining good ventilation.

Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm

• High Quality CPR


• Shock Energy for
Defibrillation
• Drug Therapy
• Advanced Airway
• Reversible Causes
HIGH QUALITY CPR
Chest Compression Fraction >80%
Push hard and fast (depth at least 2”, rate 100-120/mnt,
allow chest recoil)
Minimize interruptions

Avoid excessive ventilation


Change compressor every 2 minutes,

If no advanced airway, 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio,


or 1 breath every 6 seconds

Drug Therapy
Epinephrine

Repeat doses every 3–5 min as necessary.

An infusion of epinephrine (eg., 1 mg in 250 mL D5W or


NS, 4 mcg/mL) can be titrated to effect in adults (1–4
mcg/ min) or children (0.1–1 mcg/kg/min).

Administration down a tracheal tube requires higher


doses (2–2.5 mg in adults, 0.1 mg/kg in children).

High-dose epinephrine (0.1 mg/kg) in adults is recom-


mended only after standard therapy has failed.
Advanced Airway
Tracheal intubation
Tracheal intubation should be attempted as soon as practical.

Do not interrupt ventilation for more than 10 s.

After intubation, the patient can be ventilated with a selfinflating bag ca-
pable of delivering high oxygen concentrations.

Because two hands are now available to squeeze the bag, ventilation
should be satisfactory

A ratio of 8–10 breaths/min in a secure airway should be maintained, as


high
respiratory rates can impede cardiac output in a cardiac arrest situation.

Reversible Causes
5H 5T

• Hypovolemia • Toxins
• Hypoxia • Tamponade Cardia
• Hydrogen ion • Tension pneumothorax
• Hyper / Hypokalemia • Thrombosis coronary (ACS)
• Hypothermia • Thrombosis pulmonary (em-
bolism)
When to stop?
Arrest not witnessed
No bystander CPR
No return of spontaneous circulation
(before transport) No shock was de-
livered (before transport)

If all criteria are present, consider If any criteria are missing, continue
termination of resuscitation resuscitation and transport
