Part 1: Executive Summary: 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Epinephrine • Dose: 1 mg IV/IO q 3 – 5 minutes during cardiac arrest • 2 – 2.5 mg endotracheal dose • Pearls: • Prepare dose prior to it being called • Remember flush with 20 ml IV fluid and elevate limb for 10 – 20 seconds • Available in 1:10,000 and 1:1,000 concentrations • Used in both VF, pVT, Asystole, and PEA Field JM, Hazinski MF et al. 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Amiodarone • Consider for treatment of VF or pVT unresponsive to defibrillation, CPR, and vasopressor therapy • Dosing: • 1st Dose: 300 mg IV/IO push • 2nd Dose: 150 mg IV/IO push • Pearls: • • • • Amiodarone kit No utility in asystole, or PEA May be given as bolus May be given independent of timing of last dose of epinephrine Field JM, Hazinski MF et al. 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Vasopressin? • No longer included in 2015 guidelines • Old Dose: 40 units IV/IO push to replace either 1st or 2nd dose of epinephrine • Pearls: • Medication should only be given once during cardiac arrest per old algorithms • Medication was removed from the guidelines for simplicity while not showing any superiority to epinephrine Robert W.

Flannery Pharm.D. BCPS Key Updates to Guidelines • Vasopressin was removed from the Cardiac Arrest algorithm for simplicity in light of no superiority to epinephrine • Compression rate updated to 100 – 120/min during BLS/ACLS • For those with unshockable rhythm, it may be reasonable to administer epinephrine as soon as feasible • Utilization of steroids in cardiac arrest is controversial however intra-arrest vasopressin, epinephrine, and methylprednisolone and post arrest hydrocortisone may be considered • Cardiac arrest in pregnancy: if the fundus is at or above the level of the umbilicus left uterine displacement may relieve aortocaval compression Robert W.

Transient periods of sinus bradycardia or ventricular ectopy are common Field JM, Hazinski MF et al. 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Wide QRS Tachyarrhythmia Pearls • A wide-complex tachycardia may represent either VT or a supraventricular rhythm with abnormal conduction • Remember think hemodynamic stability • Determine if rhythm is regular or irregular • Avoid AV nodal blocking agents in patients with preexitation • Adenosine, CCBs, Digoxin, B-blockers • Some experts proceed straight to electrical cardioversion others begin with antiarrhythmic agents • Amiodarone • Procainamide: Avoid if prolonged QTC or CHF • Sotalol: Avoid if prolonged QTC Leonard I Ganz et al.
