Cardiac arrest rhythms, VF, VT, Asystole and PEA

[merwiza]

Maan... 46 yrs old.. Trying nursing, .. last semester, 3 months 2 go! I have my 1st exam in critical care ... Specifically respiratory and cardiac topics... I had a long day in clinical n every patient i had was literally helping me to remember my exam notes... I saw a person intubated w am ETT tube, i tried to insert an IV on him... Freaked out.. 1st time... But I'm so glad it happened.... Now I'm not afraid, I'm determined to get it right next time.... I'm not scared any more! I saw an 88 yr old, code n not make it all in one day and i didn't break down, now I'm watching this video and it all makes sense...
Sorry too long but what a day! All this just to say thank you Dr. Campbell, i feel smart because of you... Like i said, u r welcome to my graduation... May 7th 2022! Bethel University Mishwaka Indiana... Ask about us... We are regionally respected... But thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Please flag this comment with a graduation cap and love 🎓 💕 Cap💕 until he sees it .... 3 months darlings ... He helped me a lot!!!

Thank you soooo much for this! 😁 Now THIS is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I work in the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory and we need to understand and visualise the quick changes that can happen on an ECG during a patient case. You are amazing! Such invaluable information that shows a live ECG! Showing exactly how normal sinus rhythm can deteriorate into a cardiac arrest, shockable rhythms ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation which can lead to asystole. I loved that you included extra information and simple explanations about Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) and Hs & Ts.

Dr. John Campbell, you sir are simply incredible! Now I feel more prepared to recognise these sudden changes on an ECG and tackle these difficult situations. You have taught me so much in less than 10 minutes! Thank you again and keep up the great work! 😁

What an outstanding teacher. Calm delivery. And to the point.

Currently on my cardiology rotation and the stress is getting to me. Thank you so much for making this easier to understand.

My 15 year old daughter went into SCA, I remember reading VF, Asystole and PEA on her EMT report. Tried to learn what it all helped but still have a hard time. This video helped a little.
Even after having an autopsy and many EKGs before she died there was never any reason found for her to go into SCA and die :(

Such a great lesson. Final semester nursing student here!

Thank You Sir. Very well Narrated . From an Anesthesiologist in Cairo, Egypt (Middle east-Africa).

Thanks; I've watched quite a few of your videos so far. I am an ODP and I have my ILS course on Friday - watching your videos is definitely helping me to get my head around the cardiac arrest rhythms and the reversible causes!

I had an atrial flutter that made me pass out. Thought I was going to die :(

Doing ok now :)

In the last few years, I have stop renewing my ACLS because it was not a mandatory certification. But, now I'm getting ready to take ACLS again, and will ask for reorientation in my specialized area. I was very surprised and delighted to see Dr. Campbell's informative and extremely helpful videos (prior to this I've see only Covid-19/pandemic videos, helpful, unbiased). Thank you Dr. Campbell for your love (one aspect of love is to share knowledge), and true compassion (the caring of others, especially with us strangers).

Just went SVT was awake and could not be sedated, just don't respond to narcotic medications intensely. 148 joules later and awake for whole deal, still alive and home.. was a mess for a minute. 8 hours after having defibrillator removed because of infection. Made some videos myself.
Much love...

I survived an episode of V-Tac. I was the unfortunate one that remained conscious the entire time. The EMT hit me with 200 Jules then 360 Jules on the defibrillator WHILE I WAS AWAKE!
I hope nobody ever has to go through what I did. Please knock them out first!

I have no idea why I'm here, I have never been interested in this stuff, I'm currently in a hospital scaring myself with these videos

Cardivert a VT with a pulse if symptomatic such as dropping blood pressure and unresponsiveness. In addition, administer Amiodarone 150 mg over 10 minutes followed by an infusion of the same. Lidocaine is an alternative anti arrhythmic.

Defibrillate VT without a pulse. Administer two vasopressors such as Epinephrine q 3-5 minutes and Amiodarone 300 mg IV Push after the second defibrillation.
