- EMT CHAPTER 18 Flashcards | Quizlet
You are 5 minutes away from the hospital when the patient goes back into cardiac arrest Which of the following is the best course of action? Tell the driver to stop, analyze the cardiac rhythm, and deliver a shock as necessary We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
- Current Pharmacological Advances in the Treatment of Cardiac Arrest
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, no specific drug therapy has been shown to improve survival to hospital discharge after cardiac arrest, and only few drugs have a proven benefit for short-term survival This paper reviews current pharmacological treatment of cardiac arrest
- The Pharmacologic Management of Cardiac Arrest
The use of epinephrine and the combination of vasopressin-steroids-epinephrine for cardiac arrest have been shown to improve short-term survival Their effect on survival with favorable neurologic outcomes is less certain
- ECPR may be the most effective intervention for refractory cardiac arrest—
Among treatments for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation—known as extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)—is arguably the most effective intervention for refractory cardiac arrest—ever
- Sudden Cardiac Arrest - Treatment - CardioSmart
The only effective treatment for sudden cardiac arrest, SCA, is as soon as possible to restore the heart’s normal rhythm by using an automated external defibrillator, or AED, to deliver a shock to the heart
- Cardiac Arrest (Nursing) - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
The interventions that have proven to reverse cardiac arrest include early CPR and early defibrillation The initial step involves identification and basic life-support measures
- Updates in Management of Cardiac Arrest
For non-vasopressor medications, the use of steroids in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has not been proven to be particularly beneficial Also, the routine use of magnesium, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium has become limited to specific scenarios
- Update on prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac arrest
Internal cardioverter defibrillators remain the mainstay of primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac arrest In the acute phase, cardiac chain of survival, early reperfusion, and therapeutic hypothermia are the key steps in improving outcomes
