Providing rescue breathing to apneic patients with a palpable pulse.
Normal end tidal CO2 for patients with a pulse.
Identification of cardiac arrest and our immediate actions.
Providing artificial ventilations during CPR without an advanced airway vs with an advanced airway in place.
Using quantitative waveform capnography to confirm placement of an advanced airway, assess the quality of CPR, and identify ROSC.
The effects of hyperventilating patients in cardiac arrest.

H&T Reversible Causes of Cardiac Arrest: Hypothermia
Hypothermic patients aren't dead until they are warm and dead.
When a patient’s core body temperature drops below 96.8 F (36 C), they are hypothermic. As the body’s temperature drops below 36 C, hypothermia may further be classified as moderate or severe:
- Moderate if the patient’s body core temp is between 30-34 C; and
- Severe if it's below 30 C.
Modifying the ACLS Adult Cardiac Arrest algorithm for patients with severe hypothermia.
Following the ACLS algorithm for patients with a body core temperature above 30 C.
Methods for rewarming patients with moderate vs severe hypothermia.
Continuation of CPR and ACLS efforts until the patient’s body core temp is above 36 C.

Medication Review: Epinephrine and Dopamine
Epinephrine and Dopamine are adrenergic agonist used in several ACLS algorithms.
The use of epinephrine for severe anaphylaxis or unstable bradycardia.
Review epinephrine’s effects on blood vessels and bronchioles.
Why epinephrine is helpful for patients with anaphylaxis.
Using an epi drip for unstable bradycardia.
Epinephrine administration during cardiac arrest.
Starting and epinephrine or Dopamine drip for patients that have ROSC.
Review the effects of Dopamine based on mcg/kg/min dosing.
