HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST
• Fewer than 20% of patients suffering an in-hospital cardiac arrest will survive to go home. Most survivors have monitored VF arrest (primary myocardial ischaemia) and receive immediate defibrillation
• Cardiac arrest in patients in unmonitored ward areas isn’t usually caused by primary cardiac disease but by a progressive physiological deterioration, involving hypoxia and hypotension and it is usually non-shockable. The survival to hospital discharge is very poor.
The records of patients who have a cardiac arrest often contain evidence of unrecognised,unrecognised, or untreated, breathing and circulation problems.breathing and circulation problems.
European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2005
IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST
• Hipoxia and incorrect use of oxygen therapy
• Fluid and electrolyte balance
• Poor analgesia
• Lack knowledge about drug doses
• Failure to monitor patients
EARLY WARNING SCORINGEWS
Early warning scoring systems allocate points to routine vital signs measurements
on basis of their derangement from an arbitrarily agreed normal range.
May be used to call ward doctors or critical care out-reach teams to the patient.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY RECOGNITION AND TREATMENT OF CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS
TO PREVENTTO PREVENT CARDIAC ARREST
MEDICAL EMERGENCY TEAMMET
It is a team that responds, not only to patient in cardiac arrest, but also to
those with acute physiological deterioration
The MET usually comprises medical and nursing staff from intensive care
and general medicine
GUIDELINES FOR PREVENTION OF IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST
• Provide care for patients who are critically ill in appropriate areas.
• Critically ill patients need regular observation of vital signs.
• Use EWS to identify patients at risk of clinical deterioration.
• The hospital should have a MET capable of responding to acute clinical crises avaible 24h per day
• Identify patients for whom cardiopulmonary arrest is an anticipated terminal event and in whom CPR is inappropriate
• Ensure accurate audit of cardiac arrest, “false arrest”, unexpected deaths and unanticipated ICU admissions

can double or triple survival.3. Early defibrillationdefibrillation: CPR + defibrillation
within 3-5 min can produce survival rates as high as 49-75%. Each minute of delay in defibrillation reduces the probability of survival to discharge by 10-15%.

HOSPITAL RESUSCITATION
CHECK THE VICTIM FOR A RESPONSE: gently shake his shoulders and ask loudly:”are you all right?”
SHOUT FOR HELP
AA = AirwayOPEN THE AIRWAY
HEAD TILT AND CHIN LIFT
•Place your hand on his forehead and gently tilt his head back keeping your thumb.
•With your fingertips under the point of the victim’s chin, lift the chin to open the airway.
JAW THRUST
The rescuer’s index and other fingers are placed behind the angle of the mandible.Using the thumbs, the mouth is open
slightly by downward displacement of the chin
INSERTION OF OROPHARYNGEAL AIRWAY
AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION
1.1. LOOK-LISTEN-FEELLOOK-LISTEN-FEEL
In partial obstruction air entry is diminished and usually noisy.
Inspiratory stridor is caused by obstruction at the laryngeal level or above
• GURGLING is caused by liquid or semisolid foreign material
• SNORING arises when the pharynx is partially occluded by the soft palate or epiglottis
• CROWING is sound of laryngeal spasm
BB = Breathing
• LL = LOOKLOOK chest movement
• LL = LISTENLISTEN at the victim’s mouth for breath sounds
• FF = FEELFEEL for air on your cheek

CHEST COMPRESSION• Place the heel of one hand in the centre of the
victim’s chest; place the heel of your hand on top of the first hand. Interlook the fingers of your hands. Ensure that pressure is not applied over the victim’s ribs. Do not apply any pressure over the upper abdomen or the bottom end of bony sternum
• Position yourself vertically above the victim’s chest and, with your arm straight
• Press down on the sternum 4-5 cm.• After each compression, release all the
pressure on the chest without losing contact between your hands and the sternum
• Take approxmately the same amuont of time for compression and relaxation. Minimise interruptions in chest compression.

CHECK CIRCULATION• If the patient has NO signs of life –lack of
movement, normal breathing, coughing- start CPR
• Those experienced in clinical assessment should assess the CAROTID PULSE whilst simultaneously looking for signs of lif for not more than 10 s
If there is doubt start CPR immediately

DEFIBRILLATORS
• Automated External Defibrillators AEDAutomated External Defibrillators AED The defibrillators assess the rhythm with waveform
analysis and give automatically a shock.• Manual defibrillatorsManual defibrillators
It is used healthcare rescuers because they have to do diagnosis and give a shock. It’s used for
synchronised cardioversion• Semi-autometed external defibrillator Semi-autometed external defibrillator
The defibrillators assess the rhythm with waveform analysis and the rescuer has to give a shock.
ELECTRODE POSITION
Apply paddles or self-adhesive pads to the chest
SEQUENCE FOR USE OF AN AED 1. MAKE sure you, the victim and any bystanders are
safe.2. If the victim is unresponsive and not breathing
normally, send someone for the AED and to call for an ambulance.
3. Start CPR according to the guidelines for BLS4. As soon as the defibrillator arrives:
-switch on the defibrillator and attach the electrode pads-ensure that no body touches the victim while the AED is unlysing the rhythm
5. If a shock is indicated: push shock button as directed 6. If no shock indicated: immediately resume CPR 7. Continue until:
-qualifield help arrives and takes over-the victim starts to breathe normally-you become exhaustead

PRECORDIAL THUMPConsider giving a single precordial thump when
cardiac arrest is confirmed rapidly after a witnessed, sudden collapse and a defibrillator is
not immediatele to hand.
Using the ulnar edge of a tightly cleneched fist, deliver a sharp impact to the lower half of the
sternum from a height of about 20 cm.
A precordial thump is most likely to be successful in converting VT to sinus rhythm.
Successful treatment of VF is much less likely: if it was given within the first 10 s of VF
SOMMINISTRATION ROUTE
• INTRAVENOUS: drugs injected perperipherally must be followed by a flush of at least 20 ml.insertion of central venous catheter requires interrumpion of CPR
• TRACHEAL ROUTE: if intravenous can’t be established.Unpredictable plasma concentration are achieved and equipotent dose is unknown.DOSE: three to ten times higher diluited in 10 ml
HOSPITAL RESUSCITATION
ADRENALINE • Adrenaline is the first drug used in cardiac
arrest of any aetiology: it is included in the ALS ALGORITHM for use
1 mg every 3-5 min of CPR1 mg every 3-5 min of CPR
• Its primary efficacy is due to its alpha-adrenergic vasoconstrictive effects causing systemic vasoconstriction, which increases coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures.
• The beta adrenergic actions of adrenaline increases miocardial oxygen consumption, ectopic ventricular arrhythmias and transient hypoxaemia due to pulmonary arteriovenous shunting.

SODIUM BICARBONATEThe best treatment of acidemia in cardiac arrest is
chest compression
NOT INDICATED DURING CPR:NOT INDICATED DURING CPR:– It exacerbates intracellular acidosis– It causes generation of carbon dioxide– It produces a negative inotropic effect on ischaemic myocardium– It presents a large, osmotically active, sodium load– It produces a shift to the left in the oxygen dissociation curve, further
inhibiting release of oxygen to the tissues.
Following resuscitation from cardiac arrest, consider giving small doses of sodium bicarbonate50 ml of an 8.4% solution
