The group most likely to survive an OHCA are persons who are witnessed to collapse by a bystander and found in a shockable rhythm (e.g., ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia). (cdc.gov)
Most survivors of adult cardiac arrest have an initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT), and these patients are best treated initially with chest compressions and early defibrillation rather than airway management. (medscape.com)
Epinephrine1
For VF, pulseless VT, asystole, and PEA, epinephrine is used as a rapid IV push, which may be repeated every three minutes for a maximum of three doses. (aclsonline.us)
Asystole2
Where an underlying cause for PEA cannot be determined and/or reversed, the treatment of pulseless electrical activity is similar to that for asystole. (wikipedia.org)
The initial rhythm post cardiac arrest was pulseless electrical activity (41.7%) or asystole (35.2%) in the majority of cases. (bvsalud.org)
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a form of cardiac arrest in which the electrocardiogram shows a heart rhythm that should produce a pulse, but does not. (wikipedia.org)
Femoral1
In case of ongoing CPR, we recommend surgical groin incision, open puncture of the pulseless common femoral artery, and aortic balloon inflation in REBOA zone I. Hereby, fast access and CPR optimization for heart and brain perfusion are maintained. (frontiersin.org)
Arrhythmia1
And it also caused a PEA [pulseless electrical activity] arrhythmia that caused his heart to stop. (wypr.org)
Electrical9
Pulseless electrical activity is found initially in about 20% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and about 50% of in-hospital cardiac arrests. (wikipedia.org)
Pulseless electrical activity leads to a loss of cardiac output, and the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. (wikipedia.org)
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a clinical condition characterized by unresponsiveness and the lack of a palpable pulse in the presence of organized cardiac electrical activity. (medscape.com)
Pulseless electrical activity has previously been referred to as electromechanical dissociation (EMD). (medscape.com)
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) occurs when a major cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic derangement results in the inability of cardiac muscle to generate sufficient force in response to electrical depolarization. (medscape.com)
PEA or Pulseless Electrical Activity refers to instances where an individual has a heart rhythm that is not creating a pulse. (web.id)
The initial rhythm was pulseless electrical activity (PEA). (hindawi.com)
PEA (Pulseless Electrical Activity) Respiratory Failure (Background, classification). (muni.cz)
Half an hour later, he suffered a pulseless electrical activity collapse and CPR was started. (channelnewsasia.com)

Survival1
Adielsson et al suggest that the long-term perspective data among patients in VF or pulseless VT who were given bystander CPR revealed that survival to 1 month after VF almost doubled. (medscape.com)
Vascular1
Perfused, pulseless, and puzzling: a systematic review of vascular injuries in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures and results of a POSNA questionnaire. (qxmd.com)
Management2
The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature and perform a Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) opinion poll regarding management of pulseless supracondylar humeral fractures in children. (qxmd.com)
The results from the literature were then compared to popular opinion via a POSNA-approved survey concerning management of pulseless supracondylar humerus fractures. (qxmd.com)
Heart2
The concept of a pulseless heart is difficult to fathom. (cnn.com)
Almost pulseless pp strings intone a heart-frozen simulacrum of the Tallis Fantasia . (musicweb-international.com)
Common1
Our study revealed that common dogma regarding watchful waiting of pulseless and perfused supracondylar fractures needs to be questioned. (qxmd.com)
Found2
Of the fractures that continued to be pulseless despite adequate reduction, 82% [95% confidence interval (CI)=0.82 (0.76-0.88)] were found to have a documented brachial artery injury. (qxmd.com)
The emergency condition, pulseless VT, occurs when ventricular contraction is so rapid that there is no time for the heart to refill, resulting in undetectable pulse. (advancedmedicalcertification.com)

Unresponsive3
Instructors assessed him and found him to be unresponsive and pulseless with apneic (snoring) respirations. (cdc.gov)
He was unresponsive, pulseless, and not breathing. (cdc.gov)
During transport to the hospital, she became unresponsive, was pulseless, and her rhythm showed a wide-complex tachycardia. (jabfm.org)
Apneic1
a 66-year-old female has been found apneic and pulseless. (noodletalk.org)
Rhythm1
An AED is a device that analyzes for a shockable, pulseless heart rhythm and delivers a shock to restore normal heart rhythm. (choa.org)
Ambulance paramedics provided advanced life support on-scene and en route to the local hospital's emergency department (ED). The ambulance arrived at the ED at 2028 hours, and after 13 minutes of resuscitation efforts inside the ED, the Trainee was pronounced dead at 2041 hours. (cdc.gov)
All records of children under 18 years old who were pulseless on arrival and required cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the ED were reviewed. (nature.com)
Extremity1
When a patient suffers from a cold and pulseless extremity following a fracture, brachial arterial exploration is generally needed. (handmicrosurgeryjournal.com)
See Hs and Ts Hypovolemia Hypoxia Hydrogen ions (Acidosis) Hyperkalemia or Hypokalemia Hypoglycemia Hypothermia Tablets or Toxins Cardiac Tamponade Tension pneumothorax Thrombosis (e.g., myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism) Tachycardia Trauma (e.g., hypovolemia from blood loss) The possible mechanisms by which the above conditions can cause pulseless in PEA are the same as those recognized as producing circulatory shock states. (wikipedia.org)
ACLS3
Despite being different pathological phenomena and having different ECG rhythms, the ACLS management of pulseless VT and VF are essentially the same. (advancedmedicalcertification.com)
ACLS responses to pulseless VT and VF within a hospital will likely be conducted using a cardiac monitor and a manual defibrillator. (advancedmedicalcertification.com)
EMS provided CPR and ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) measures on scene and en route to the hospital for almost an hour. (cdc.gov)
We believe that sugammadex was the cause of cardiac arrest in this case because of the timing and sequence of events, the evolution to pulseless electric activity and the relatively uneventful post-arrest clinical course. (bvsalud.org)
Patients2
The aim of the current study is to report our experience in six patients having cold and pulseless hands after closed reduction who were managed by conservative methods. (handmicrosurgeryjournal.com)
