wow this is old. DO NOT do this today. Cuz you'll fail if you do. lol

This is so old, the main thing is to maintain perfusion with CPR, delaying intubation until you have done 400 compressions of CPR

the videos are out of date yo! ACLS has changed, so don't jive them.

yeah this guy just kind of half assed his ABC's

It is wrong because it is rare to regain a perfusing rhythm if the first shock does not work, and reducing time away from chest compressions has been found to be much more important.

why is it wrong???? HE STILL IS ALIVE IS HE NOT?

This is the old 3 stack shocks... dont do this today or you will fail the nremt-p

Yes, just remember to check for a carotid pulse for a MAXIMUM of 10 seconds. Per the new 2005 CPR guidelines...if you do not DEFINATELY feel a pulse...begin chest compressions. Remember to push 'fast and hard'. Chest compressions are more important than breaths during the first few minutes of an arrest because the oxygen in the blood will remain at an "okay" level for the first few minutes. Count the compressions out loud...it will help. If the jaw thrust doesnt work, use the head tilt chin lift

As you can see, these aren't the new 2005 AHA/ILCOR guidelines for defibrillation. I would make one important comment, when doing your ABC's, actually do each step independantly, Open,inspect AIRWAY, look, listen and feel for BREATHING (10 SECONDS), IMPORTANTLY VENTILATE TWICE TO CONFIRM PATENCY OF AIRWAY! Make the chest rise twice. Assess Carotid circulation for 10 seconds. Placing an OPA/NPA isn't important at this point, as it takes away doing CPR compressions quickly!

All right. But I also need to think equipment too. Because I need to know how wit works, which buttons to push, how to use the monitor, how to set the alarms, how to silence the alarms, how to turn the audio pulse tone up or down, etc etc etc. Now don't get me wrong. THE PATIENT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

The one time that you NEED to use the pulse-ox is when you intubate someone. Even then, Capnography will be of use, and more important then the pulse-ox. Ok, I am sounding like the pulse oximeter is of no use.... that is not what I am saying, I am just saying that do not rely on it. There are many things that will give a false reading. Just treat you patient, not the equiptment and you will be fine. I am done now :)

This is the Lifepak 12. We are able to connect the cables up to a rythym generator and it works just as if we were to put it on a patient. As for the pulse oximeter I dont know if I can help you. Most pulse oximeters that are used im EMS do not have options. They just show the SpO2 and the pulse. But I suppose some services have to have fancy ones. To tell you the truth, the pulse ox is not that big of deal. Treat your patient not the equiptment.

Good video! I like it. Hey, could someone do a video for me on setting and using a pulse oximeter? Like how to set the alarms and how the audiable pulse tone works. Thanks I like this video. Is that a simulation defibrillator or is that a real defibrillator with a learning feature? It looks like the Lifepak. God Bless.

Good video! God bless you too.

haha......dont stack shock!!! ANd biphasic monitor is now set to do 200j continuous. Monophasic is a steady 360.....NOT STACKED. And ask if there is any trauma before head tilt chin lift. Also Intubate....And use amiodorone! It proven to work better. Be safe study hard.....God Bless!

Could you do a video on the use and setting of a pulse oximeter? Continuous monitor? THANKS

Finish determining status of the airway before checking a pulse...ie., insert an airway and attempt 2 ventilations

OK, yeah, no stacked shocks anymore. Also he needs to drop an oral airway right away like the voice says. With V-fib, 1mg epi is correct. Once patient goes into asystole, you start over with epinephrine 1mg, then CPR, then atropine 1mg. NO SHOCKS for asystole. Also, I wouldn't give 'em lidocaine at the end in this situation. Otherwise its a cool video.

I found that out too.

FYI, ACLS guidelines no longer recommend stacked shocks.
