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.

    Tablets & Toxins as a H&T Reversible Cause of Cardiac Arrest

    Review of Tablets & Toxins as an ACLS H &T reversible causes of cardiac arrest with some specific, commonly encountered examples. As an ACLS provider you do not need to be familiar with all of the different signs of various types of poisoning.  You should be able to obtain a history and know to order toxicology. The majority of toxins don’t have a specific antidote.  There are a few toxins for which we have emergency interventions and ACLS providers should be familiar with. Reviewing the patient's medical history for indicators that may lead us to suspect a tablet/toxin cause of cardiac arrest. Administration of Narcan for suspected narcotics overdose following the Opioid Associated Emergency algorithm. Other common ACLS Tablet Toxin scenarios with possible treatments. Medications commonly used to treat specific toxins that are regularly stocked on crash carts or carried in EMS med bags. ACLS providers that suspect a specific toxin should consult with their Pharmacy or call Poison Control for treatment directions. **American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.

    Which ACLS Algorithm

    The ACLS algorithms are designed to make it easier to remember the key interventions we should deliver, and the order in which they should be delivered, to provide the best evidence-based care possible. Generally speaking, if there’s a change in a patient’s condition, we should ensure we’re using the correct algorithm. Three key points to remember when using ACLS algorithms. Walk through of an example mega code scenario with explanations of when and why we change to a different ACLS algorithm. **American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.

    Hydrogen Ions as a H&T Reversible Cause of Cardiac Arrest

    Hydrogen ions is on one of the Hs in ACLS's H&T reversible causes of cardiac arrest.  When considering hydrogen ions as a cause, what we’re looking at is the patient’s pH, or acid/base balance, and conditions that affect it. The body's normal pH. Using patient history, ABGs, & labs to determine acidosis or alkalosis. Common conditions/causes that may lead us to suspect acidosis. Common conditions/causes that may lead us to suspect alkalosis. Correcting acidosis by changing the rate of ventilations. The indications, dose, and considerations for use of Sodium Bicarbonate. Treatment of alkalosis depends on the type (metabolic or respiratory) and is aimed at correcting the underlying cause.
