I'm Paul from PassACLS.com and I'm here to help you pass ACLS. Like an audio flash card, this podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each three-to-nine minute episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high performing team to deliver safe, quality patient care. Listening to a tip a day for a few weeks prior to your ACLS class will help cement the core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to the Chain of Survival, core concepts, and ACLS algorithms; specific information needed to pass the written exam, BLS checks, and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified, but rarely participate in codes, may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only, is intended for medical professionals, and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.

6:02

The tongue is the most common airway obstruction in an unconscious patient. Insertion an oropharyngeal airway helps keep the patient’s tongue from falling to the back of the pharynx, causing an airway obstruction. The oropharyngeal airway is sometimes called an OPA or simply an oral airway. Indications for using an oral airway. Contraindication for an oral airway and an alternative airway that can be used for patients with an intact gag reflex. Measuring an OPA and possible complications from inserting one that's too small or too large. Two techniques to properly insert an OPA. The use of an oral airway during CPR. The use of an OPA as a bite block after a patient has an advanced airway placed.

Hypoxia: An H&T Reversible Cause of Cardiac Arrest 5:51

1 day ago5:51

5:51

Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen levels in the blood. Determining hypoxia using a pulse oximeter or arterial blood gasses (ABGs). A goal of ACLS is to recognize signs of hypoxia and provide timely treatment to prevent an arrest . Examples of some things that might lead us to think of hypoxia as a cause of cardiac arrest. Why we should not rely on pulse ox to give accurate readings during CPR. Delivering ventilations with near 100% oxygen concentration using a BVM attached to supplemental O2 and a reservoir. Using end tidal waveform capnography to assess the quality of CPR. Changes to ventilation rates, tidal volume, and O2 concentration affects a patient's oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH. The danger of excessive ventilation of a patient in cardiac arrest.

Epinephrine Use During Cardiac Arrest 5:11

3 days ago5:11

5:11

When working to resuscitate a patient in sudden cardiac arrest, Epinephrine is the first IV medication we administer. When we give the first dose of epinephrine depends on whether the patient is in a shockable or non-shockable rhythm. When to give the first dose of epinephrine and its frequency for patients in asystole or PEA following the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm. When to give the first dose of epi and its frequency for patients in V-Fib or pulseless V-Tach following the left side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm. Example chronology of events for a scenario where a patient is found unresponsive with only gasping/agonal breathing. Administration of epi via the IO or endotracheal route in the absence of an IV. The maximum cumulative dose of epinephrine that can be administered to patients in cardiac arrest. When do we stop administering epinephrine.

If a person suddenly develops symptoms such as weakness, slurred or garbled speech, loss of balance, or a massive & severe headache; it’s possible they could be having a stroke. The Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale. There are several conditions that can mimic a stroke. Identification & Treatment of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Identification & Treatment of hypoxia using a pulse oximeter. Some seizures, electrolyte imbalance, sepsis, brain tumors, and Bell’s Palsy can also mimic a stroke. Prehospital providers should transport suspected stroke patients to a stroke center following their local protocols. Hospital providers should active their stroke team to ensure rapid assessment and treatment.

IO & ETT Routes for Medication Administration 5:56

7 days ago5:56

5:56

Most ACLS medications are given IV push. But, what happens if we can't get an IV? Why IO is better than ETT as an alternative route. The locations we should place an IO when running a code and a location we should avoid. The ACLS medications that can be given intraosseous. Where you can find more information about intraosseous access during resuscitation efforts. In the absence of an IV or IO, some medications may be given down the endotracheal tube. The disadvantages of medication administration via ETT. Review of the medications that can be given down the tube and how they should be given. Medications should not be given down the tube when anything other than an endotracheal tube is used as an advanced airway.

EMS and Transportation to the Most Appropriate Facility 5:51

8 days ago5:51

5:51

The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same: 1. preparedness & recognition of an emergency; 2. activation of EMS; 3. delivery of Advanced Life Support; and 4. transporting to the most appropriate facility. ALS ambulances are staffed with paramedics who have training in ACLS skills. Why EMS "Destination Protocols" for suspected stroke and STEMI make a difference. ACLS’s timed benchmarks for: point of first medical contact to PCI for ST elevation MI; door to tPA for ischemic stroke; and onset of symptoms to EVT for LVO strokes. Why EMS should bypass a close hospital to transport a STEMI or suspected stroke patient to a hospital capable of 24/7 PCI or a certified stroke center.

For apneic patients without a carotid pulse or patients with only gasping/agonal respirations, we will follow the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm. For pulseless patients that the AED doesn't advise a shock, the patient's ECG shows asystole, or a non-perfusing organized rhythm (PEA), we will follow the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm. Initial steps are aimed at delivery of high-quality CPR to keep the brain and vital organs alive. Epinephrine administration. Placement of an advanced airway. Considering possible reversible H & T causes of cardiac arrest including three common causes of PEA and their emergent interventions.

4:20

Providing good, high-quality CPR with minimal interruptions and early defibrillation are two key interventions shown to improved cardiac arrest outcomes. A training tool used in many CPR and ACLS classes is to use a song (or a song list) with a tempo of 100 to 120 beats per minute to help the person doing chest compressions maintain an adequate rate. Characteristics of good songs that will help us. Advantages & disadvantages of using a song during CPR.

Maintaining a Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) Above 80% 5:49

18 days ago5:49

5:49

Even good CPR is far less efficient at circulating blood than a functioning heart. The indicators of high-quality CPR that were identified at the 2012 AHA CPR Quality Summit in order of importance include: Chest compression fraction (CCF); Chest compression rate; Chest compression depth; Allowing for full recoil; and Adequate ventilations. Using real-time feedback devices and ETCO2 to assess CPR quality. Three tips to limit pauses in CPR compressions to 10 seconds or less. Limiting interruptions to chest compressions to less than 10 seconds so we can maintain a CCF of 80% requires teamwork and communication.
