Cardiac Arrest Management
- A (adjunct) - Place oropharyngeal airway
- B (breathing) - place on ventilator to assure slow ventilation rate (attach to BVM mask)
- 10-12 bpm, 500cc tidal volume, Fio2 100%
- C (compressions) - Switch out providers q pulse check; use metronome
- D - defibrillation
- Ok to shock during compressions if wearing gloves and using biphasic device
- A (advanced airway)
- Use LMA (NOT ET tube - no break in compressions required)
- B (advanced breathing)
- Connect LMA to ventilator
- Pressure control 20, RR 10, insp rate 1.5-2s
- Connect LMA to ventilator
- C (advanced circulation)
- Place IO instead of central line
- D (differential)
