ACLS Protocols


Recommended Posts

How about you read through their journal Circulation. Not trying to bust you down, but the journal is openly published, free and easy to access through the AHA. Learning how and where to find this information will only benefit you as a provider.

Under the new AHA CPR guidelines, are they not recommending to confirm asystole in a second lead anymore? If you can site an article from AHA please do, thanks.

Clue: How many leads does an AED use?

Haven't read anything from the AHA about it, but a couple of weeks ago our medical director put out a memo stating we no longer needed to confirm asystole in multiple leads. They reprogrammed all of our monitors to go immediately to the paddle view upon being turned on too.

it may be an interpretaton of the minimize inturruptions to CPR to less than 10 seconds guideline. The thought may be that it may takeyou longer than 10 seconds to switch leads, etc.

No not a rule, but an unussual intepretation of a difenet rule.

But that i sjust a guess, coming from an ACLS instructor.
