Naloxone administration may reverse respiratory arrest, preventing progression to cardiac arrest. Standard advanced life support with the addition of administration of sodium bicarbonate is appropriate for the treatment of life-threatening dysrhythmias caused by cocaine or other sodium channel blockers. COR 2a, LOE B-NR.

In trauma patients, the primary sources of bleeding are external haemorrhage (blood on the floor), chest, abdomen, pelvis, and long bones in paediatrics brain is also included (infants with open sutures can bleed a significant amount intracranially) Shock The most common cause in trauma is haemorrhage.

The STREAM-1 trial found that for [2] patients with STEMI presenting within 3 hours of symptom onset and unable to attain PCI within 1 hour of first medical contact, a pharmaco-invasive strategy resulted in similar rates of death, shock, heart failure, or reinfarction compared to primary PCI. Primary PCI: 95.7% Primary PCI: 95.7%

Emergent coronary angiography is not recommended over a delayed or selective strategy in patients with ROSC after cardiac arrest in the absence of ST-segment elevation, shock, electrical instability, signs of significant myocardial damage, and ongoing ischemia (Level 3: no benefit). o C recommended (Level 1: strong). COR 2b, LOE B-R.

ECMO Flow was achieved after approximately 1 hour of high quality CPR. In this case, profound shock for 1 hour would result in the same degree of infarction. The Type 2 MI would then have been a result of the prolonged severe shock while in arrest. After good ECMO flow was established, she was successfully defibrillated.

Be careful with excessive medication administration. 10 The score predicts the probability of survival to hospital discharge using a number of factors including CPR duration, serum potassium, core temperature, age, and suspected mechanism of hypothermia. Hypothermic arrest differs from cardiac arrest from other causes.

Why is defibrillation important Defibrillation is the process of delivering an electrical shock to a person experiencing life-threatening heart rhythms, like ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The defibrillator administers a shock measured in joules to the heart at precisely the right moment.
