American Heart Association Guidelines for
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
and Emergency Cardiovascular Care
1
Pulseless
Arrest
2
4 rhythms produce
pulseless cardiac arrest:
Ventricular fibrillation (VF)
Rapid ventricular tachycardia (VT)
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA)
Asystole
3
Survival from these arrest
rhythms requires both basic life
support (BLS) and advanced
cardiovascular life support
(ACLS).
4
For victims of witnessed VF arrest,
prompt bystander :
1. CPR
2. Early defibrillation
can significantly increase the chance for
survival to hospital discharge.
5
In comparison, typical ACLS
therapies, such as:
insertion of advanced airways and
pharmacologic support of the
circulation,
increase ROSC but have not been
shown to increase rate of survival
to hospital discharge.
6
7
Central line access is not needed in
most resuscitation attempts.
Drugs typically require 1 to 2 minutes
to reach the central circulation when
given via a peripheral vein but require less
time when given via central venous
access.
8
peripheral venous route:
1. Follow with a 20 ml bolus of IV fluid
2. Elevate the extremity for 10 to 20
seconds to facilitate drug delivery to
the central circulation.
9
Intraosseous (IO)
cannulation provides access to a
noncollaps-ible venous plexus,
enabling drug delivery similar
to that achieved by central
venous access.
10
If IV and IO access cannot be
established, some resuscitation
drugs may be administered by
the endotracheal route
11
E T route:
Lidocaine
Epinephrine
Atropine
Naloxone
Vasopressin
12
The optimal endotracheal dose of most
drugs is unknown,but typically the
dose given by the endotracheal
route is 2 to2.5 times the
recommended IV dose.
13
Providers should dilute the
recommended dose in
5 to 10 mL of water or normal
saline

complete cessation of myocardial
electrical activity
End-stage rhythm
َAsystole should always be
confirmed in at least two limb leads
It may be difficult to distinguish
between extremely fine VF and
asystole
21
22
PEA is defined as non-coordinated groups of
electrical activity of the heart (other than VT/VF)
without a palpable pulse: EMD + pseudo EMD
EMD = Electro Mechanical Dissociation : no
myocardial contractions occur
Pseudo-EMD : myocardial contractions occur but
no pulse can be palpated
23
Idioventricular rhythms
Ventricular escape rhythms
Postdefibrillation idioventricular
rhythms
Brady-asystolic rhythms
Agonal rhythms
24
25
Global myocardial dysfunction
Papillary muscle and myocardial wall
rupture
Hypovolemia, tension pneumothorax,
pericardial tamponade, and massive PE
26
ASYSTOLE/PEA MANAGEMENT
Patients who have either asystole or PEA will
not benefit from defibrillation attempts
A vasopressor (epinephrine ) may be
administered at this time.
Epinephrine can be administered
approximately every 3 to 5 minutes during
cardiac arrest

33
When supplementary oxygen is available, it may be
reasonable to use the maximal feasible inspired oxygen
concentration during CPR
34
In intubated patients, failure to achieve an ETCO2
of greater than 10 mm Hg by waveform capnography
after 20 minutes of CPR may be considered as one
component of a multimodal approach to decide when
to end resuscitative efforts, but it should not be used
in isolation
35
if the arterial relaxation “diastolic” pressure is <20 mm
Hg, it is reasonable to consider trying to improve
quality of CPR by optimizing chest compression
parameters or giving a vasopressor or both

Emphasis on effective chest
compression
One universal compression-to-
ventilation 30/2
Recommendation for 1-second breaths
during all CPR
48
Rescuers should change
compressors every 2 min
Compression should ideally be
interrupted only for rhythm check
and shock delivery
49
Providers do not attempt a pulse or
check the rhythm after shock
delivery
Drug should be delivered during
CPR, as soon as possible after
rhythm check
50
Antiarrhythmics: Amiodarone is
preferred to lidocaine , but either is
acceptable
Deliver 1 shock , then immediate
CPR and NO check pulse
51
52
1-Epinephrine
2-Amiodarone
3-Lidocaine
4-Magnesium
53
When VF/pulseless VT cardiac arrest is
associated with torsades de pointes,
providers may administer magnesium
sulfate at a dose of 1 - 2 g diluted in 10
mL D5W IV/IO push
54
When torsades is present in the
patient with pulses, the same 1 - 2
g is mixed in 50 to 100 mL of D5W
and given as a loading dose.
It can be given more slowly (eg,
over 20 to 60 minutes IV)

Resuscitation of the
Pregnant Patient
Key Points
During resuscitation there are two patients, mother &
fetus
The best hope of fetal survival is maternal survival
Consider the physiologic changes due to pregnancy
60
Successful resuscitation of a pregnant woman &
survival of the fetus require prompt & excellent
CPR with some modifications in techniques
By the 20th week of gestation, the gravid uterus
can compress the IVC & aorta, obstructing venous
return & arterial blood flow
Rescuers can relieve this compression by
positioning the woman on her side or by pulling
the gravid uterus to the side
62
Defibrillation
Defibrillate using standard ACLS defibrillation doses
There is no evidence that shocks from a direct current
defibrillator have adverse effects on the heart of the
fetus
If fetal or uterine monitors are in place, remove them
before delivering shocks
Summary
Defibrillation & medication doses used for
resuscitation of the pregnant woman are the same as
those used for other adults
Rescuers should consider the need for ER Caesarian
Delivery as soon as the pregnant woman develops
cardiac arrest
Rescuers should be prepared to proceed if the
resuscitation is not successful within 4 minutes
65
BLS treatment of cardiac arrest in asthmatic patients is
unchanged
Standard ACLS guidelines should be followed
Auto PEEP
tension pneumothorax
66
67
management of cardiac arrest secondary to
anaphylaxis should be treated with standard BLS and
ACLS
Airway
The intramuscular (IM) administration of epinephrine
Fluid Resuscitation
Vasopressors
68
Adjuvant use of antihistamines (H1 and H2
antagonist), inhaled -adrenergic agents,
and IV corticosteroids has been successful
in management of the patient with
anaphylaxis and may be considered in
cardiac arrest due to anaphylaxis
69
70
CPR for drowning victims should use the traditional
A-B-C approach in view of the hypoxic nature of the
arrest
The first and most important treatment of the
drowning victim is the immediate provision of
ventilation.
71
Attempts to remove water from the breathing
passages by any means other than suction (eg,
abdominal thrusts or the Heimlich maneuver) are
unnecessary and potentially dangerous
72
As soon as the unresponsive victim is removed
from the water, the rescuer should open the airway,
check for breathing, and if there is no breathing,
give 2 rescue breaths that make the chest rise
Victims in cardiac arrest may present with
asystole, PEA, or pulseless VT/VF. For treatment of
these rhythms, follow the appropriate ACLS
guidelines

defibrillation
DEFIBRILLATION
The most effective treatment of VF is timely defibrillation
early defibrillation :defined as defibrillation under 4 minutes of
onset
successful defibrillation implies delivering the appropriate
amount of current or energy to the fibrillating myocardium,
such that the chaotic electrical activity is terminated and a
supraventricular perfusing rhythm is established
CPR prior to
defibrillation
Lack of success for in-hospital resuscitation appears to
result from delays in time to first shock from collapse.
Defibrillation Equipment
List of Materials for Defibrillation
Defibrillator/ECG monitor
Handheld defibrillation electrodes “quick-look”
paddles
Patient interface cables; multifunctional for ECG
monitoring and defibrillation
Electrodes and pads for ECG signal acquisition and
defibrillation
Conductive gel (not ultrasound gel)
always kept in a constant state of readiness
Wherever possible, the defibrillator ,patient
cables, quick-look electrode paddles and
ECG and defibrillation electrodes and pads
should be preconnected and labeled to
facilitate application to the patient
members of the designated resuscitation
team should check the equipment at the
beginning of their clinical shifts
Multifunction defibrillator/monitor
Defibrillator monitor capable of 12-lead
ECG/cardioversion/pacing/limited ECG
interpretation.
Defibrillator Types
Defibrillators (operational characteristics)
Manual
Semiautomated
fully automatic
Monophasic damped sinusoidal (MDS) and
monophasic truncated exponential(MTE)
waveforms
Biphasic waveforms.
Monophasic or Biphasic
99
no specific waveform has been
proved to be superior to another
regarding survival from SCA or for
the return of spontaneous
circulation
biphasic waveforms have been
shown to be more efficient in
achieving first-shock termination
of VF than monophasic
waveforms.
Monophasic Defibrillators/Energy Selection
first type introduced
still available in various patient care
settings
MDS waveform for defibrillation
an energy level of 360 J be used for the
first shock
Biphasic Defibrillators
Defibrillator today are primarily biphasic
an output waveform that flows back and forth between
the electrodes
more successful defibrillation shock /less energy /
better first-shock defibrillation success
an optimal energy level for first-shock for VF has not
been established, several studies have demonstrated
that using relatively low energy of 200 J or less
Energy Selection
device-specific effective waveform dose range
biphasic rectilinear waveform
120 J
unaware of waveform dose range, a
consensus default of 200 J should be used
for the initial shock
Energy Selection
