Description

To pass the written ACLS exam and mega code, students need to be able to identify basic ECG dysrhythmias, including the two types of second-degree heart block. One method of ECG rhythm identification is to ask a series of questions such as:What's the rate (<60, 60-100, 101-149, or >150);Is the rhythm regular or irregular; What's the shape and frequency of P waves and QRS complexes; and What's the P-R interval and is it constant?ECG characteristics of a second-degree Mobitz type I (Wenckebach). Identification of unstable bradycardia and its treatment with Atropine. ECG characteristics of a second-degree Mobitz type II. Possible effect of using Atropine on patients with a second-degree type II AV block. Treatment of unstable bradycardic patients refractory to Atropine using TCP, Dopamine, or Epinephrine drip. Starting dose and titration of Dopamine and Epinephrine drips.

Like a daily audio flash card. This podcast is intended to aid any medical professional preparing for an Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) class. Each one-to-nine minute Flash Briefing-style episode covers one of the skills needed to recognize a stroke or cardiac emergency and work as a high-performing team to deliver quality care. Listening to a tip-of-the-day for 14-30 days prior to a class will help cement core concepts that have been shown to improve outcomes in patients suffering a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke. In addition to core concepts and ACLS algorithms, specific information needed to pass the written exam and megacode following the 2020 guidelines is presented. Healthcare providers that are already ACLS certified may find listening a helpful reminder. Disclaimer: This podcast is a supplement to your course's approved text book and videos - not a replacement. The information presented is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Medical professionals should follow their local laws, agency protocols, and act only within their scope of practice.
