First and Foremost
• KNOW ACLS
• Meds that can be given through the ET tube - LEAN
•
•
•
•
L - lidocaine
E - epinephrine
A – atropine
N – nalaxone
• Give 2 times normal dose diluted in normal saline
Dysrhythmias
• Always assess hemodynamics…….
• SHOCK THE UNSTABLE PATIENT
Dysrhythmias
• SVT
• Regular
• Vagal maneuvers and adenosine
• Afib
• Irregularly irregular
• Normal EF – CA/Beta blockers, Low EF – dig/amiodarone
• Think anticoagulation
• WPW
• Short PR, delta wave
• Narrow tx like SVT
• Wide procainamide vs amiodarone
• A-flutter
• Rate control
• MAT
• Irregularly irregular, p-wave variation 3 types
• Treat underlying cause ie COPD/CHF
• Avoid beta blockers, think CA block or mag
Dysrhythmias
• Sick Sinus Syndrome
• Combination brady-tachy arrhythmia
• Refer to cardiology for pacer
• Vtach
• 3 + PVCs with rate >120
• Amiodarone, lidocaine, procainamide
• Torsades
• Axis swinging from + to – in single lead
• Mag and overdrive pacing
• Vfib
• ACLS
Dysrhythmias
• AV Blocks
• 1st – prolonged PR, no treatment if no symptoms
• 3rd – AV dissociation, requires pacing
• 2nd
• Mobitz 1 (Wenckebach)
• Mobitz 2 – avoid atropine, needs pacing
ACS
• Continuum
• Angina – Unstable Angina – NSTEMI - STEMI
• AMI – STEMI or CP with elevated markers
• Treatment –
• ASA, plavix, heparin, nitro
• Thrombolytics – TPA
• Give within 30 minutes if PCA > 60 min away
• Complications
• Vfib highest in first hour
• LV failure
• >20 % loss = pulm edema
• > 40% loss = shock
CHF/Cardiogenic Pulm Edema
• Left sided
• Ischemic heart disease, HTN
• Aortic/mitral valvular disease
• Right sided
• Left sided failure, pulm HTN, tricuspid/pulmonic disease
• Signs and symptoms
• SOB, ‘cardiac asthma’
• Pleural effusions
• S3, JVD, dependent edema
CHF/Cardiogenic Pulm Edema
• CXR/Symptom progression
• Stage 1 – cephalization, dyspnea
• Stage 2 – interstitial edema (kerley B lines), dry cough
• Stage 3 – alveolar edema (butterfly pattern), wet cough
pink frothy sputum
• Lab – BNP <100 excludes
• Treatment
•
•
•
•
OXYGEN
BIPAP
Afterload reduction, diuresis
Think pressors for shock (dopamine, dobutamine)
Cardiomyopathies

• Restrictive
• Hypertrophic
Dilated Cardiomyopathies

• Diagnosis
•
•
•
•
•
Hx – sharp precordial pain relieved by sitting up and leaning forward
PE – friction rub
EKG – diffuse concave ST elevation, PR depression
Echo – to look for effusion
BUN/Crt – look for uremia
• Treatment
• Outpatient NSAID for idiopathic/viral and reliable pts
Pericardial Disorders
