I recently had a traumatic injury to my knee putting me out of work for 8 months. I return to work next week and I have been using your videos to shake off the rust and get my brain back into nurse mode! Thank you so much!
I just got into rapid response nursing and I'm brushing up on all the algorithms as well as other critical care supplement. Thank you so much for the content.
Great info. Additional consideration for stroke: CTA head/neck to follow up initial head CT in the absence of a bleed. This is to diagnose emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) for possible mechanical thrombectomy to be done by neurointerventionalist (if available) via Interventional Radiology. Can be done in combination with rTPA/TNK.
just found you, am prepping for ACLS. I work in a Critical Access hospital that has a small ICU that does not have critical patients a lot. So this is a great site for knowledge.
Thank you for your help! I’m studying for ACLS now that I am an outpatient recovery nurse. It’s so nice to have adjunct learning tools to the ACLS book for those us who have been out of school for some time.
Don’t give BB immediately after diagnosing stemi, studies showing benefit are from before the reperfusion era. Modern studies show essentially no benefit and increased risk. They need to be started within 24hrs but not in the acute management.
I passed! Thanks to your videos I could’ve taught that class by the time I got in. Can you please do a PALS? There are no good PALS videos like yours 😔
Infusion. It’s weight based. After you calculate how much you’re going to give over one hour you waste what you will not use from the bottle, give the bolus through the infusion, and then administer the drip over an hour
Well, it really depends. If it is during a code for PE, we give it push, but can be an infusion. We do infusions for other reasons such as stroke and ACS.
Man i am struggling e the content, i dont seem to memorize it no matter how i try, i memorized the cardiac drugs eazy peazy but this algorisms dont seem to be much consequal relation to me.. and we dont give fibrinolytic in ER so why the heck would i do fibronolytic checklist in the ER ..
@@ICUAdvantage The direct link worked. Thank you! When clicked on the link in the description, the tab first appears, like it is going to bring you the webpage, then it just closes. Weird.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future lessons. Although I'm not sure what I could have shown here? Was there something you were thinking?

Absolutely! Will probably talk about all that more in the future when I dive back in to some neuro topics! Thanks for sharing!

Glad to know you are finding the stuff here helpful!
@@ICUAdvantage you cover a lot that is "Greek" to me since we have IM only, but the drug reviews, vent reviews etc. are amazing, Thank you!
I have ACLS sims coming up and this was so helpful to prepare beforehand thank you for your hard work in putting these videos together!
You are very welcome! You'll have to let me know how ACLS went! Happy to be able to help
@@ICUAdvantage Passed it and got certified! Thanks again :)
I have ACLS exam in 2 days to pass and this is so useful to review! Thank you for doing it.
Good luck!

It's truly my pleasure to be able to help. Really glad you found the channel too! 😊
Quick and easy Acls review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Would you please make a video on TPA administration and follow up ? You teach really good.
Look like you found it 😊
@@ICUAdvantage yes, I did and loved it. I work in the ER.
Thank you for these lessons they really did help me with ACLS.
Great teaching Sir

Thank you so much! Good review!
Helped a lot ,awesome video
Good videos, illustrates the algorithm's in an easy to follow format. The quiz is super helpful!!
Thank you so much Patti!
Thank you for the great review!

Great fast info , very helpful from Ronald Jones RN .
Glad to hear this! Thanks again Ronald!
Great job sir.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for the nice video
Very thorough. Thanks!
Thanks Tim!
This really helps, thanks!!!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you, very interesting and informative.
Appreciate that!
Thank you
Thanks a million times 🙂
Youre welcome!! 😊
Excellent video thank you!
I passed! Thanks to your videos I could’ve taught that class by the time I got in. Can you please do a PALS? There are no good PALS videos like yours 😔
YAY!!! Way to go!
As for PALS, I just don't have any experience with peds....
Question... How do you give TPA ?
IV push or infusion
Infusion. It’s weight based. After you calculate how much you’re going to give over one hour you waste what you will not use from the bottle, give the bolus through the infusion, and then administer the drip over an hour
@@nicolem4673 i saw some videos giving 10 percent of the tpa dose bolus and then the rest infusion. what do you advise?
@@alaahussain9677 yes so 10 % of the total treatment dose is the bolus. then the rest of the infusion over 1 hour.
@@nicolem4673 thank you i appreciate ittttt.
Well, it really depends. If it is during a code for PE, we give it push, but can be an infusion. We do infusions for other reasons such as stroke and ACS.
Very nice presentation, listening for 2 hours
Was just reviewing my stroke algorithm, can you make a video on NIH stroke scale by any chance? 😊🙏🏾
Got it on the todo list!
Thanks for your video.
You are very welcome Martine! Glad you liked it :)
Excellent teaching!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
For stroke, what do you think about the VAN assessment for Large Vessel Occlusion? Helpful for EMS in rural setting?
I unfortunately am not familiar with this assessment!
Thanks !
yw!
I regret that i did not watch your video before i attend the acls training🤦🏿
Next time 😉
I couldn’t find your NIH stroke video you mentioned you would create. Can you add the link?
I haven't made it yet, but it is coming sooner than later!
I have the ACS and Stroke algorithms drilled in my head lol
Oh I bet being in the ED! I'm sure some other algorithms too!
Man i am struggling e the content, i dont seem to memorize it no matter how i try, i memorized the cardiac drugs eazy peazy but this algorisms dont seem to be much consequal relation to me.. and we dont give fibrinolytic in ER so why the heck would i do fibronolytic checklist in the ER ..
Thank you!!
You're welcome Stacey!
well done
Thank you
Thanks for this guys! God bless! :)

Awesome!!
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Thank you! The link to the quiz does not work :-(
Hmmm... weird. It's working for me. What is it saying when you click it?
Here is the direct link: www.icuadvantage.com/quiz-acls-acs-stroke
@@ICUAdvantage The direct link worked. Thank you! When clicked on the link in the description, the tab first appears, like it is going to bring you the webpage, then it just closes. Weird.
@@ArinaThomsen Ohhh, I wonder if your browser was stopping it from opening in a new window? It opens up a new one for the link when you click it.
i wish if you were my professor.. much thanks
Glad you liked it Alaa!
Can I ask about the EVT?
Whats EVT?
@@ICUAdvantage Endovascular Therapy Sir.
@@michaelreysalvillagavieta7579 Got ya. Ok, yeah I do have it on the todo list. Thanks for the suggestion!
stroke pathwy is 10 years old and doesent include mechanical thrombectomy
CTICU interview today wish me luck
You got this!!!
@@ICUAdvantage super intense man i sat in front of a PCD and four veteran icu nurses
@@Nurse-Payton when do you find out??
I got the position
Nice
I really wish you can use more real images for the real treatment or machine. It will be more interesting
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future lessons. Although I'm not sure what I could have shown here? Was there something you were thinking?
@@ICUAdvantage I agree, though you could have in the tachy and brady algorithms
What does ACS mean?
Acute coronary syndrome
thanks thanks thanks
Most welcome
❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️🙏
Thanks Mimi!
♥️♥️
Thank you!
Thanks.
Welcome!
@@ICUAdvantage ACS= BEFAST NOT JUST FAST!
ACS=M.O.N.A.
MORPHINE
OXYGEN
NITORGLYCERIN
ASAPIRIN
......but NOT always in that order! 😊
Too complicated (I'm not ICU). Where is the stroke algorithm?
At 6:50 mins..
Shoutout to all the massively underpaid medics on here. We do PALS too….😮
You guys rock! I couldn't imagine some of what you guys do.
Thank you
