Their AEDs are designed to be user-friendly, reliable, and effective in delivering life-saving shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm. Some notable features include: Real CPR Help : This feature provides real-time feedback on the depth and rate of chest compressions, ensuring the rescuer administers high-quality CPR.

By delivering an electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm in cases of ventricular fibrillation or other arrhythmias, AEDs play a vital role in increasing survival rates following sudden cardiac arrests. If it detects such a problem, it delivers an electric shock to restore normal heart function.

Then you hear the words coming out of the speaker, “ Paediatric code black. Paediatric code black ”. You’ve heard the phrase code black before – it’s a traumatic cardiac arrest. They’re getting CPR. A shocked friend is being ushered out of the way. You’re just about aware of the tannoy in the background.

For anyone approaching a structured ABC would be a priority to establish whether shock was present or not. Typical features include: HR >220bpm Narrow complex regular tachycardia P waves difficult to identify In this case there is no shock present so we can proceed to the right branch of the ALSG guideline.

She was in shock with thready pulses. The rate is not fast enough to be causing shock, so if it is VT, the priority is still to treat hyperK and secondarily to cardiovert. They thought it was VT, but did not shock. On arrival, the patient was in shock, was intubated, and had an immediate cardiac ultrasound.

You are tidying your things in anticipation of the arrival of the dayshift when a code blue is called. The nurses started CPR immediately and place pads before you even arrived. The patient is in ventricular fibrillation, and you achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on the second shock.

Consider valvular injury in any patient who appears to be in cardiogenic shock, has hypotension without obvious hemorrhage, or has pulmonary edema. Post opiate hypotension in prehospital trauma patients is a rare but documented complication. The latter also recommend ED thoracotomy in those with refractory shock.
