I know this came out in 2014 but I just wanted to say if anyone is watching now that Vasopressin has been out of the protocol for a couple of years now.
Why was the endotracheal tube not inserted in the first time they found the patient was at cardiac arrest? has the algorhythm been changed? i used to know the intubation attempt should be given at the very first time we found patient having cardiac arrest.
I remember having a code after eating lunch. I did compressions and I felt like I wanted to vomit in the first 30 seconds :( I had to switch really bad.
You should know what to give, how much to give, when to give it and your route of administration by this point. If you don't know then get an RT to help you. They're the best!
update from 2024, the hypothermia therapy(target temperature management, TTM) is aimed at 32-37.5 degree celsius. also, this is really quite a good video to illuminate how we should practice the mega code section.

+Damon Jackson Vasopressin was removed to simplify the algorithm. This is unfortunate. Instead of expecting providers to improve their knowledge and skills. The update suggests providers can be remedial..
Well I think that characterisation is a little unfair. Vasopressin was initially incorporated to give ems providers time to do other interventions, because no other vasopressors were to be given for ten minutes. We now know through science that its effectiveness was not what was originally thought. If you look Narcan was added to the algorithm, and its effect in situations can be very pronounced.
+Damon Jackson Narcan, thiamine, and Epi were also standard code drugs. thiamine was removed because people were having anaphylactic reactions to it. narcan is making a comeback due to the increase of heroin and opiate overdoses

Can amiodarone and vasopressin be given i.v bolus?they did not mention how they prepare meds of iv bolus amiodarone and vasopressin if without dilution or what dilution they mix with meds before i.vbolus to avoid confusion.
Somebody help my forgetful mind: What happened to the Pulse-Ox monitor the patient had on her finger when she arrived.? "Hypoxia"??? The PO not only measures oxygenation, but, also the quality of compressions during CPR. OK, i"m being picky. But, in this day and age, the PO is an indispensable monitor, which appears to be underappreciated in this video.
etco2 is what now monitors effective cpr as well as tube placement. etco2 < 10 shows need for improvement in cpr. fyi, in the scenario, the pt was initially at 92 pao2 and then went up to 95 pao2 on 2 lpm O2 prior to coding. As actor playing doc said, coronary thrombosis likely culprit as confirmed with STEMI in 12 lead. remember that pulse ox takes a bit to drop and accurately show hypoxia where as etco2 readings are much quicker. good video on acls cert.inst re " waveform capnography" which demonstrates this.
This was great if you want to know which to need to do but it doesn't so you procedures like a medic's case in a ministration in how you actually start the IO /iv . Or how you set up the monitor . To do what want it to do
If atropine the first line in Bradycardia had been administered from the beginning none of the other steps would have been needed. The patient went from Bradycardia to tachycardia, which leads to other after care for the patient.
@@chewchin7052bradycardia but no pulse,so they continued cpr instead of giving atropine.Also atropine can increase myocardial oxygen demand and aggravate ischemia?
there is such a thing as pulseless electrical activity where it can show a rhythm like bradycardia on the monitor but the patient has no pulse, they are in cardiac arrest. plus even if it was real bradycardia a pulse, with the low blood pressure of 70/40 most doctors would choose to push epinephrine at that point in favor of atropine. atropine is for bradycardia that is symptomatic with fatigue sob or other signs of poor perfusion, not for a person without a pulse. in the video’s scenario the patient has just arrived and no iv access was able to be established, how are you going to give an iv medication without an iv? just stab a patient with a syringe hoping it will land in a vein (most of these patients who are sick enough to cardiac arrest will be difficult sticks to begin with)? going for the io access was the only way to go, most providers wouldnt waste time trying to get an iv in and just ggo for an io because they know theyre not going to be able to get an iv in a patient like that. we are treating the patient, not the monitor. always check for a pulse never forget your bls.
+rom z Continuous bagging only occurs with an advanced airway (like an endotracheal tube). Otherwise you follow 30 chest compressions with two breaths.
+UnicornxApocalypse But the team leader decides how much shock should be delivered (unlike in BLS where an AED) and they're giving IV drugs. Isn't this advanced already?
I had to check this wasn't a joke. 'Code' on its own is a pretty silly name for a cardiac arrest/medical emergency. 'Megacode' is completely puerile. Do the AHA/ACLS actively encourage ridicule?
Just for people coming for information: we no longer use vasopressin in the 2015 cardiac arrest algorithm. (I know this is a somewhat older video)
Could update this really
This is 2010 algorithm I think
Thank you!
Thanks!
wow everytime I watch BLS,PALS and ACLS skills I have never remained the same. thnx AHA for this knowledge love you guys
This was the calmest code ive ever seen. Haha
It's for teaching purpose
In my oppinion this should be the correct posture. Loosing the calm makes you feel angry and take bad decisions.
this is the new protocol of acls. advanced cardiac life support.. it's team management, no panic.
Mitchell Turnbull no kidding. Very deceptive
Compared to screaming, yes xD
I know this came out in 2014 but I just wanted to say if anyone is watching now that Vasopressin has been out of the protocol for a couple of years now.
I see it used still
It’s 3rd line
How come. I’m in my last year just wanna get some field knowledge.
I always sit and watch BLS and ACLS videos to update my knowledge
This is how the codes are in my hospital… even with teaching. Some doctors are just chill and confident
I agree! I'm a paramedic student and our er doctors are very chill running a code WHILE showing me the EKG and what it means
Thank you for uploaded this video,, who has attending the ACLS, it will more help full
Mrs. Fernandez turned into a rubber.

Why can't all doctors be like this, so calm and understandable
Because of Ego and Sarcasm
cortisol, saliva, adernaline stress effects on voice (interesting read)
showing the rhythms would have been beneficial and an explanation why each drug is given
You should know what to give, how much to give, when to give it and your route of administration by this point. If you don't know then get an RT to help you. They're the best!

Well coordinated assignment bravo
Amiradone must be the go to medication?
Do you have the one that is the "wrong way" where the communication is chaos?
Thank you so much AHA for the good presentation
This video is now outdated and you should look at the newer 2015 AHA guidelines.
This is old video and we can still use this for future trainings
300 J with monophasic défibrillators, vasopressin instead for Amiodarone...Those were the days of 2014

Who is watching 2024, have my acls this wk
I'm

vasopressin is now removed on the latest ACLS.
The paths that they take cause many shocks...it is no different than the risk of medications.
lady said bp is 70/40 so calm lmao
Doesn't help anybody to have an excited nurse.
shocking on 3! 1 2 3 shocking! shock delivered.. 6 seconds wasted for compression!
Minimal interruption is 10 seconds i believe in 2015 and is allowed for rhythm analysis, ventilation and shock
Atropine cause a increase in heart rate in Bradycardia but not tachycardia.
Damn it Mandel
😆
vasopressin has been removed from the ACLS guidelines 2015.
Vasopressin is pretty much out for 2023.
how they knw the pt went into vfib without any leads??
Hbk Jgreezy defib can also assess rhythm
defib patches when applied are "fast patches" for showing rhythm on monitor till either 3 lead or 12 lead are applied
air way?.....hipoxia???
Shouldn't the first dose of adrenalin have been administered after the 3rd shock (instead of 2nd)?
Shouldn't this be continuous ambu bagging???
+rom z Continuous bagging only occurs with an advanced airway (like an endotracheal tube). Otherwise you follow 30 chest compressions with two breaths.

not until an advanced airway is placed
Im glad you're not a doctor or nurse
Zondares I'm studying to be one of that, which is why I asked a question to be enlightened. I see that you're a corpsman, and that's awesome! :D
We all work with a Mandell or two :/
What does that mean?
Someone who sucks at compressions
Aortic in the stomach is in pain...they all usually complain of abdominal pain.
Sinus bradycardia with no pulse and you shock it?
PEA is the rhythm, pulseless electrical activity
@@TheGibby13 if pea is rhythm, you cant give shock, it should be chest compression unless VF or VT
@@semdavidtimothysitanggang9491 correct
but they didn't shock it.
tube in, while the guy in charge is not bagging. lol.
Can you please make video of more Simman family's
do you have a guideline for this ?
Do we still vasopressin??
no
Why is Mandel wearing an earpiece?!
BGM sounds like Dr. House's. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
after watching this, I realised that the doctor seems look like dr. John Carter in ER..
Yeah but the pads should be really well in contact with thevskin before attempting def... :) excellent video
Thanks for your video
I am waiting for my assessment right now

Should be updated
