PALS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2020 (VF & pVT)

The PALS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2020 focussing on shockable rhythms (VF & pVT) is one of the most important algorithms because we can make a difference in patient outcomes if we respond quickly and effectively.

0:00 Intro
3:10 BLS Assessment
5:46 Epinephrine- First Dose
7:05 Amiodarone/ Lidocaine- First Dose
7:16 Reversible Causes
8:09 Epinephrine- Second Dose
8:43 Amiodarone/ Lidocaine- Second Dose
8:52 PALS Method
9:45 Outro

Remember: BLS is the foundation of our PALS, if we don’t perform good BLS, the chances of us being successful in PALS diminishes significantly.

I like the method EVEN=EPINEPHRINE, makes it “easy” to remember.😊

Been ACLS certified for decades and the simplicity of this explanation is wonderful! Getting PALS and this helps a lot to make it simple with dosages and timing.

Thank you so much for providing the visual of the pattern!

Really great review! Thanks for the post

[AureliaNamise]

Thank you so much very clear and understandable

The video is very nice and useful—thank you for uploading such valuable material. At 4:32 minutes, you mentioned that the depth of compression should be one-third of "your" anteroposterior diameter. This could be a bit confusing, so I suggest using the term "patient's" instead of "your" for clarity.

I absolutely love your videos. Can you include that amiodarone can only be given up to three times.

Thanks for the nice vedio .however i think epinephrine starts to be given after the third shock
