Күн бұрын

In 2022, Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States making ACLS essential to learn. Every year, heart disease kills more people than cancer. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is a life-saving procedure that can help you save someone's life if they experience a heart attack or other cardiac emergency. In this guide, we will teach you everything you need to know about ACLS!
ACLS certification is one of the many certifications that we renew every two years. However, if you don't use it you lose it. This video discusses the 2020 Guideline Updates for the American Heart Association Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) certification.

Hello to all of my Healthcare brothers and sister! The 2020 AHA Guidelines are out. I have posted the new videos for BLS, ACLS, and PALS: kzfaq.info/sun/PLhOFBB3AV9swkQ1KUodrLKmxvEbI3R0-R. These changes will not take place until February 2021; however, these concepts are currently being taught in your courses. ☺️❤️

You have mentioned 5cycles of CPR after a shock, for pulseless v fib. Pls specify what is 1 cycle?

@NurseCheung 5 ай бұрын

Certainly! In the context of CPR, a "cycle" refers to a specific sequence of actions. For pulseless ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib), a common protocol involves delivering a shock followed by immediate CPR. One cycle of CPR typically consists of: 30 Chest Compressions: These are rapid, firm compressions delivered to the center of the chest, allowing the chest to rise fully between compressions. The recommended rate is about 100 to 120 compressions per minute. So, when it's mentioned to perform 5 cycles of CPR after a shock for a patient in pulseless V-Fib, it means to repeat this sequence of 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths, five times. This should be done before reassessing the patient's rhythm or pulse, unless there are signs of life or an AED advises another shock. Always remember to follow the most current guidelines from reputable sources like the American Heart Association, as protocols can be updated. 🚑❤️🌟

for the epinephrine pre-filled syringe 1:10,000, we are to give the whole syringe? or are we supposed to withdraw a certain amount only? it's my first time to take acls.

@NurseCheung 2 ай бұрын

Great question. In ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), the dosage and administration of epinephrine, especially from a pre-filled syringe with a concentration of 1:10,000, are based on the specific guidelines and protocols for the scenario you're dealing with. Typically, for adult cardiac arrest, the recommended dose of epinephrine 1:10,000 is 1 mg, which is often equivalent to 10 ml in a pre-filled syringe, administered every 3-5 minutes during resuscitation efforts. However, it's crucial to follow the specific protocols provided by your ACLS course or institution.

Just curious, but why is non-contrast CT used versus contrast CT for ruling out possible stroke?

@NurseCheung 10 ай бұрын

This is a great question! Non-contrast CT scans are often used to evaluate possible strokes because they can quickly and effectively detect bleeding within the brain, known as intracerebral hemorrhage. This is a crucial consideration as certain stroke treatments, such as tPA (tissue plasminogen activator), could worsen bleeding if administered in the presence of hemorrhage. Contrast-enhanced CT scans, on the other hand, involve injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream to highlight blood vessels and tissue abnormalities. While these scans can provide detailed information about blood vessels and potential blockages, they might not be the initial choice in cases of suspected stroke because the priority is to swiftly determine if bleeding is occurring in the brain. In summary, non-contrast CT scans are often the first step in evaluating possible strokes due to their ability to quickly detect bleeding, a critical consideration for determining appropriate treatment strategies. If the non-contrast CT scan indicates no bleeding, further imaging or assessments may be considered to determine the type of stroke and the appropriate course of action.

Hello Nurse Cheung, I m very appreciate to your teaching video but I m query the doses on Synchronized cardioversion recommended by AHA on 2020 update is maximum energy level for all of tachycardia Synchronized cardioversion. So there’s no difference doses on narrow QRS complex between regular and irregular rhythm. Can u amend it. Thank you very much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘😘😘🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️🙇🏼‍♀️

@NurseCheung 2 жыл бұрын

Great question Cheung Clara ☺️💜 The current American Heart Association Algorithm's Adult Tachycardia with a Pulse Algorithm states "refer to your specific device's recommended energy level to maximize first shock success." I believe this is because there are many different types of machines requiring different energy levels. In general, narrow regular rhythms can require energy between 50-100 joules; narrow irregular rhythms can require energy between 120-200 joules; and wide and regular rhythms can require energy around 100 joules. I would always recommend to follow hospital policies and manufacture recommended settings ☺️ I hope that helps answer your question
