Adult Foreign-Body Airway Obstruction Algorithm. BLS indicates basic life support; CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and FBAO, foreign-body airway obstruction.

Apply defibrillator pads (or paddles) and shock the patient with 120-200 Joules on a biphasic defibrillator or 360 Joules using a monophasic. Continue High Quality CPR for 2 minutes …

Learn the AHA guidelines for the ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2020 to 2025, guiding rescuers in treating pulseless patients unresponsive to BLS with CPR, defibrillation, and medications.

Sep 22, 2025 · As a result, multiple muscle cells within the ventricles simultaneously fire as pacemakers causing a quivering or fibrillation that is ineffective for adequate cardiac output. …

Ventricular fibrillation falls under the ACLS Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm and is the most important algorithm to know for adult resuscitation. Ventricular fibrillation treatment starts with …

Symptoms, causes, treatment, and prevention of ventricular fibrillation (VF) for life support professionals. Learn the ACLS algorithm.

Start with the compressions and then open the airway with a head tilt chin lift and give the 2 breaths. Each breath is 5-6 seconds. While you are doing that, the rest of the team hooks up …

You may also use Adenosine as a diagnostic test to diagnose A-fib or A-flutter if you cannot interpret the rhythm. UNSTABLE Look for symptoms related to the tachycardia, such as chest …

Fine VF = continued compressions. IV/IO vascular access without interruption of CPR. Continue High Flow O2 / BVM with ETCO2 or Supraglotic Airway with ETCO2. Apply Automatic Chest …

This practice paper focuses on ACLS megacode simulation exercises designed to enhance proficiency in the recognition and management of ventricular fibrillation.
