6 FRRCKSBURG MS Narrow Complex Tachycardia - SVT (ATRC) Stable patient: f the patient is in a narrow complex tachycardia (<0.12) without evidence of A-Fib / A-Flutter and is hemodynamically stable without critical signs and symptoms attempt vagal maneuvers first n the absence of A-Fib, A-Flutter or multifocal atrial tachycardia Adenosine 0.1 mg/kg (Rx: 2) rapid V push (over 1-3 sec.), followed with 20cc NS flush (regular & monomorphic) Withhold Adenosine if the patient has a history of Wolff arkinson White Syndrome (WW) or if delta waves are present Repeat Adenosine 0.2 mg/kg rapid V push after 1-2 minutes, followed with 20cc NS flush ALRTS: Give Adenosine rapidly over 1 to 3 seconds through a large (e.g., antecubital) vein followed by a 10 ml Normal Saline flush and elevation of the arm f possible, establish V access before cardioversion and give Versed 0.1 mg/kg slow V push, titrated to effect, if the patient is conscious. May repeat every 5 minutes as needed for sedation. o not delay cardioversion if the patient is extremely unstable f available, obtain a 12-Lead CG to better define the rhythm, but this should not delay immediate cardioversion if the patient is unstable Adenosine is safe and effective in pregnancy. However, Adenosine does have several important drug interactions. Larger doses may be required for patients with a significant blood level of Theophylline, Caffeine, or Theobromine. The initial dose should be reduced to 3 mg in patients taking ipyridamole or Carbamazepine or those with transplanted hearts Adenosine should not be given for unstable or for irregular or polymorphic wide-complex tachycardias, as it may cause degeneration of the arrhythmia to VF 3

9 FRRCKSBURG MS V-Fib / ulseless V-Tach (ATRC) 5 Check for responsiveness Check for breathing Check for carotid pulse nitiate CR o As soon as a mechanical external compression device (i.e. Lucas 2) (rocedure 12) becomes available the device can be employed as the primary means of providing chest compressions lacement of A and follow prompts as instructed NA/OA with assisted ventilations via BVM as soon as possible, priorities should be on compressions, then airway o f unable to provide adequate ventilations with BVM, consider the insertion of the King Airway (rocedure 4) O NOT NTRRRUT CR TO LAC TH KNG ARWAY o TCO2 monitoring (rocedure 7) 12 Lead CG, transmit if possible (rocedure 8) NTRMAT Secure airway as required by T ntubation and confirm/secure tube placement Obtain V access initiate fluid bolus o O access (immediately if available or after unable to obtain V access in 2 attempts)

11 FRRCKSBURG MS V-Fib / ulseless V-Tach (ATRC) 5 o Tricyclic Anti-epressant Overdose o Suspected case of xcited elirium ALRTS: When VF/pulseless VT cardiac arrest is associated with torsades de pointes, administer an V/O bolus of Magnesium Sulfate at a dose of mg/kg diluted in 6 ml Normal Saline The most critical interventions during the first minutes of VF or pulseless VT are immediate CR, with minimal interruption in chest compressions, and defibrillation After an advanced airway is placed, rescuers no longer deliver cycles of CR. Give continuous chest compressions without pauses for breaths. Give 8 to 10 breaths/minute. Check rhythm every 2 minutes When a rhythm check reveals VF/VT, CR should be provided while the defibrillator charges (when possible), until it is time to clear the victim for shock delivery. Give the shock as quickly as possible. mmediately after shock delivery, resume CR (beginning with chest compressions) without delay and continue for 5 cycles (or about 2 minutes if an advanced airway is in place), and then check the rhythm Minimize the number of times that chest compressions are interrupted. eriodic pauses in CR should be as brief as possible and only as necessary to assess rhythm, shock VF/VT, perform a pulse check when an organized rhythm is detected, or place an advanced airway
12 FRRCKSBURG MS V-Fib / ulseless V-Tach (ATRC) ffective chest compressions are essential for providing blood flow during CR. To give effective chest compressions, push hard and push fast. Compress the adult chest at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute, with a compression depth of 1/2 chest depth. Allow the chest to recoil completely after each compression, and allow approximately equal compression and relaxation times Continuous waveform capnography is required, if available, in addition to clinical assessment to confirm and monitor correct placement of an endotracheal tube Use quantitative waveform capnography in intubated patients to monitor CR quality, optimize chest compressions, and detect ROSC during chest compressions or when rhythm check reveals an organized rhythm. f TCO2 <10 mm Hg, consider trying to improve CR quality by optimizing chest compression parameters. f TCO2 abruptly increases to a normal value (35 to 40 mm Hg), it is reasonable to consider that this is an indicator of ROSC f SVT 170, perform immediate synchronized cardioversion in addition to other indicated procedures. 5
