1 Future of Cardiac Arrest Management for Paramedics EMS TODAY 2013 Mark Whitbread Consultant Paramedic London Ambulance Service

2 London Ambulance Service NHS Trust 620 sq miles 8.2 million population 2011/12 1, (911) calls

3 Specialist Centres 2011/12 95, (911) calls for chest pain 8, (911) calls for cardiac arrest

4 What outcomes can be achieved? What equipment will be used? What could be done differently?

5 Adult Cardiac Arrest Checklist (Latest edition: September 2012) On arrival CHECK After ALS initiated CHECK Post ROSC CHECK Effective chest compressions are ongoing and compressors changed regularly? Is the defib in manual mode? Have we got sufficient O 2? Is it attached to BVM and bag inflated? Is the chest rise adequate? If traumatic arrest; has HEMS been considered? Have a 2 nd crew been requested / dispatched? Family supported? Does everyone know each other s names? (If not, introduce self and indicate for others to state name and skill level) Are effective continuous compressions on going? Is the ECG rhythm being assessed every 2 mins? Is there an ETCO 2 waveform present and printed? If value <10mmHg...why? Is there bilateral air entry? Have we checked for tension pneumothorax? Have we got access yet? Is it definitely PATENT? Has fluid been given if hypovolaemia suspected? Have we checked for gastric distension? What is the resp rate? <10 - are we ventilating; 1 breath every 6 seconds? >10 - are sats titrated to 94-98%? Have we got a FULL set of obs? (BP, HR, Sats, BM, 12 lead ECG, ETCO 2 )? What is the BP? If <90, have legs been raised and a 250ml bolus of fluid given? What is the pulse rate? If <60 and symptomatic has atropine 0.5mg been given? Have further fluid boluses been considered if hypovolaemia suspected? TAKE ANOTHER SET OF OBS Is the BP <90? No Do NOT give adrenaline Adrenaline given and amiodarone if required? Has BM been checked? Other reversible causes? Yes Is the pulse rate <100? Yes No Do NOT give adrenaline Are we using an FR2? Has it been swapped for a Lifepak if recurrent VF/VT? Is the radial pulse absent? No Do NOT give adrenaline Has CCD been contacted if up to 18 shocks given (paramedics) Yes Give adrenaline 0.1mg 1:10,000 (note small dose), up to 0.5mg total Completed by: Lead paramedic: Cardiac Arrests are predictable Call sign: CAD: Date: Please see overleaf for leaving scene Checklist Pre planning is essential

8 Issues? It s almost impossible to do RCT s in patients in cardiac arrest It s difficult to increase cardiac arrest survival Guidelines are Guidelines and sometimes we just need to apply common sense JFDI One change will not increase survival

22 Cooling

23 Issues To increase cardiac arrest survival is difficult It s almost impossible to do RCT s in patient s in cardiac arrest Guidelines are Guidelines! Sometimes we just need to apply common sense JFDI One change in management will not increase survival

24 Controversial Issues of Cooling Issues To increase cardiac arrest survival is difficult temperature 1. Best cooling method? It s almost impossible to do RCT s in patient s in cardiac arrest Arrest ROSC 1 Guidelines are Guidelines! 3. How deep early 2 Sometimes2. wehow just need to to apply commonto sense JFDI cool? 4 start cooling? One change in management will not increase survival 3 4. How long to time keep cool?

25 Appropriate management Appropriate destination

26 ROSC sustained to HAC & Survival

27 CRM/Checklist Recognise this is serious Close the loop in communication Establish leader Use resources appropriately Step back & do global assessment

28 Education/Simulation/Training Run simulation See mistakes made Correct mistakes Prevent reoccurrence Find a solution
