    Hi! Thanks so much for this review. I have been in respiratory 35 years- I go through the recertification and review as usual. But today when watching your review here, I had a Lightbulb Moment!!!!
    When you said electrically pacing or chemically pacing, the lightbulb went on for me to remember why/when to use Dopamine or Epinephrine. I know the process on the algorithm, but just hearing the bifurcation of electrical vs chemical just clicked for me! (All these years nobody said the term “chemically pacing”, and when you did- it just clicked for me. ) Thank you !

You do a great job in explanation and I don't know if you're the one drawing, but you have great animations as well!

    @dangmateo00 Před 3 lety +2

    Thank you so much for this algorithm. I came across with severe sinus brady - in its high 20s with no change in pressures. It lasted about 10 minutes. The patient was covid - intubated, sedated and paralysed. It is good to know about symptomatic bradycardia and its clinical symptoms so I will know next time not to panic unnecessarily. Again, thank you for sharing this video.

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  Před 3 lety

      More than glad to help! Honestly though, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably be panicking too! Even maintaining a good blood pressure, I'd be worried they would decline further and would hope to get the rate up. At 20 there most probably were compensation mechanisms going on as I'd be real shock that such a low HR would maintain adequate perfusion. That said, I've been surprised by many things before. Were they on pressors already? What lead to the bradycardia? Hypoxia related? Curious if you ended up doing anything, or if they just resolved on their own.

    • @dangmateo00
      @dangmateo00 Před 3 lety

      Yes, the patient was on a small dose of Norad and was deproned 10 hrs prior to. Apparently has had episodes of bradycardia before but not as low as it did. I ended up just doing an ECG though I was not able to capture it as it resolved on its own.

    Q?
    Pls remind us how to deliver the electrical pacing like dopamine or epi. Do we infused/mixed the dopa/epi first to a saline? If yes, what proportion?
    If I do not have pump (not in icu setting) what is the effective way?
    Again, thanks very much.

    One other point before I move on to see where the algorithm takes me next: Returning to your illustration of narrow complex 2:1 AVB, giving atropine or other agents that can increase sinus rate, but esp. atropine, to such a pt. can convert a minor or moderate problem to a severe, life-threatening crisis. The reason is that such a pt's. AV node is so dysfunctional (temporarily or permanently) that it can only conduct alternate beats. It needs that much recovery time between beats. If you accelerate the sinus rate, the AV node will have no time to recover conduction amid the frequent assaults from above. Asystole can result. Passing a temporary pacing electrode takes only a few minutes and keeps the pt. much safer.

      @@doremifasolatido-ro7zs They asked about doses for some acls meds, important labs and initial treatment for sepsis, checking hospital protocol if you were unsure about doing something. They asked me about preping a hospital room and what the minimum necessary equiptment would be (working 02, suction etc.). They also asked about what the acls protocol for svt was. The last question was a multiple choice with three pts. One had new onset indigestion, one was a ped with a leg deformity, and the other was a copd pt with good vitals. They wanted me to identify the indigestion pt a candidate for chest pain protocol and the highest acuity pt.

    Love how you teach, wondering if you can use visuals like showing the pacemakers, defibrillators, etc as you are reviewing which buttons to push?
    Also, always wondered why we shock pulseless Vtach, isn't it just PEA? Can you give amiodarone right after epinephrine. Since they are different classes of drugs, why do we have to wait 3-5 minutes?

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  Před 3 lety

      Thank you! I purposely avoid device specific stuff as these videos go out all over the world and the equipment varies so much from place to place. I try to focus on foundational info that can be applied to whatever equipment you use.
      Also, Vtach is a disorganized rhythm that in most cases does not provide adequate perfusion. We want to stop that and allow the heart to resume a normal rhythm, hence the shock.
      As for the the 3-5 minutes, I don't know if I have a great answer to that. I know over the years these guidelines were developed from evidence based research by the AHA, so I'm sure there is something there. Also, we have to look at 1/2 life. 1mg of Epinephrine is quite large, especially when we compare to doses we give in Epi drips. Probably wouldn't make any difference to give it more often. And any longer and we probably don't sustain the high levels needed to provide that necessary coronary perfusion.

    Good morning Mr.Eddie regarding the atropine as you said we have to start with 1mg first not with 0.5mg
    But in our hospital there protocol they are started with 0.5 only then they are increasing the dosage so do you think it’s wrong or it’s ok and
    Also why we have to started with 1mg direct not .5
    Thank you Mr.Eddie so much for you incredible work

      @ICUAdvantage  Před 3 lety +1

      I'm just referring to the newest guidance from the AHA. They used to recommend 0.5mg but now the latest is 1mg.

    Just a quick comment - can consider dobutamine as well. one more thing stop the offending agent which is more likely cause than any other etiology in ICU. Great talk

    • @ICUAdvantage
      @ICUAdvantage  Před 2 lety

      Yes, but only in a stable Brady where we want to increase CO! Not the unstable, which is probably why that isn't mentioned in the ACLS algorithm recommendations. But yes, absolutely, treat the underlying cause. The great game of the ICU :)
