Defibrillator devices are used in treating life-threatening sudden cardiac arrest caused due to cardiac arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation and
pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
What's more, these data failed to reveal how many of the
pulseless babies were resuscitated.
26 However, the POINT's rescue protocol is based on the assertions that 1) first responders are unable to identify unresponsive
pulseless patients reliably, (27) 2) naloxone administration has no role in cardiac arrest (including those due to opioid overdose), (26) 3) ventilations may complicate bystander resuscitation, making it harder to teach, learn, execute and perform under challenging circumstances, (28) and 4) significant numbers of opioid-related deaths involve polysubstance overdose with cardiotoxic drugs.
She developed bradycardia, hypotension, metabolic derangements, and eventually
pulseless electrical activity.
Fortunately, software-based protection against this problem is available in the form of a screw-speed-modulation technique that automatically varies rotational speed based on screw-flight position, resulting in an effectively
pulseless discharge even at very low delivery rates.
Since 2005 the American Heart Association (AHA) has advocated that high-quality CPR is the most critical component of the resuscitation of a
pulseless patient.
There are various clinical algorithms in which ultrasound is used during cardiac arrest to confirm asystole or
pulseless electrical activity (PEA).
Through the course of the night she went into
pulseless electric activity three times and required cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Bradyarrhythmias, atrioventricular block, asystole, and
pulseless electrical activity.
more than 10 complexes), sustained ventricular tachycardia requiring chemical or electrical cardioversion, ventricular fibrillation or
pulseless electrical activity.
Paramedic Mark O'Sullivan told the court when he arrived Lauren was unresponsive and
pulseless.
The three standards concerning
pulseless electrical activity, including one that was approved by the EMS Commission (C.
