Product Information

Use data-driven, performance-focused debriefing of rescuers to improve CPR quality and patient outcomes. For bradycardia caused by inferior myocardial infarction, cardiac transplant or spinal cord injury, consider giving aminophylline (100–200 mg slow intravenous injection). Hospitals should have a clear policy for the clinical response to abnormal vital signs and critical illness. This may include a critical care outreach service and/or emergency team (e.g. medical emergency team, rapid response team). Do not use dual (double) sequential defibrillation for refractory VF outside of a research setting. During manual chest compressions, ‘hands-on’ defibrillation, even when wearing clinical gloves, is a risk to the rescuer.

There is a greater recognition that patients with both in- and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have premonitory signs, and that many of these arrests may be preventable. If bradycardia is accompanied by life-threatening adverse signs, give atropine 500 mcg IV (IO) and, if necessary, repeat every 3–5 minutes to a total of 3 mg. the involvement of stakeholders from around the world including members of the public and cardiac arrest survivors.

POCUS may be useful to diagnose treatable causes of cardiac arrest such as cardiac tamponade and pneumothorax. If cardioversion fails to restore sinus rhythm and the patient remains unstable, give amiodarone 300 mg intravenously over 10–20 minutes (or procainamide 10–15 mg kg -1 over 20 minutes) and re-attempt electrical cardioversion. The loading dose of amiodarone can be followed by an infusion of 900 mg over 24 hours.

During CPR, start with basic airway techniques and progress stepwise according to the skills of the rescuer until effective ventilation is achieved. If an advanced airway is required, only rescuers with a high tracheal intubation success rate should use tracheal intubation. The expert consensus is that a high success rate is over 95% within two attempts at intubation. Patients should receive care in a clinical area that has the appropriate staffing, skills, and facilities for their severity of illness. For refractory VF, consider using an alternative defibrillation pad position (e.g. anterior- posterior).Consider pacing in patients who are unstable, with symptomatic bradycardia refractory to drug therapies.

Right ventricular dilation in isolation during cardiac arrest should not be used to diagnose massive pulmonary embolism. The guidelines recognise the increasing role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in peri-arrest care for diagnosis, but emphasises that it requires a skilled operator, and the need to minimise interruptions during chest compression. Resuscitation team members should have the key skills and knowledge to manage a cardiac arrest including manual defibrillation, advanced airway management, intravenous access, intra-osseous access, and identification and treatment of reversible causes.

where k and c are constants, which vary between earthquake sequences. A modified version of Omori's law, now commonly used, was proposed by Utsu in 1961.

The guidelines reflect the increasing evidence for extracorporeal CPR (eCPR) as a rescue therapy for selected patients with cardiac arrest when conventional ALS measures are failing and to facilitate specific interventions (e.g. coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), pulmonary thrombectomy for massive pulmonary embolism, rewarming after hypothermic cardiac arrest) in settings in which it can be implemented.When a mechanical chest compression device is used, minimise interruptions to chest compression during device use by using only trained teams familiar with the device. Consider extracorporeal CPR (eCPR) as a rescue therapy for selected patients with cardiac arrest when conventional ALS measures are failing and to facilitate specific interventions (e.g. coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), pulmonary thrombectomy for massive pulmonary embolism, rewarming after hypothermic cardiac arrest) in settings in which it can be implemented. Hospital systems should aim to recognise cardiac arrest, start CPR immediately, and defibrillate rapidly (<3 minutes) when appropriate. Hospitals should review cardiac arrest events to identify opportunities for system improvement and share key learning points with hospital staff.
