.016
YES
It is not dangerous to perform chest
compressions even if the heart is
still
beating. You cannot make a patient
any worse than he or she already is.
*Circulation. 2007;116:e566-e568
NO
In fact, most instances of
CPR for cardiac arrest are
unsuccessful.
NO
Remember, the person in cardiac
arrest is already clinically
dead. CPR can only help.
Breathing difficulty
C. Nausea or vomiting
D. Pale or bluish skin color, moist or sweaty skin
E. All of the above
TRUE or FALSE?
Overview ACLS
A kind of training for physician
Established by AHA, in Indonesia by PERKI
Rarely taught in medical school
Materials
BLS
Cardiac Arrest
Tachycardia
Bradycardia
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
Hypotension, shock, acute pulmonary
edema

DEFIBRILLATION
Backgrounds
Why so important?
The leading cause of cardiac arrest is
ventricular fibrillation (VF)
The most effective treatment for VF is
defibrillation
Every 1 minute delay will drop the succesful
rate as much as 10%
Early Defibrillation
Concept
What happen in VF and pulseless VT?
Heart stops beating no circulation
oxygen will depleted in less than 90
seconds
Myocardial Ischemia cell energy
depleted
Early Defibrillation
Concept
Technical concept
What is defibrillator?
A device that can produce controlled Direct
Current Shock
Indication
VF, Pulseless VT defibrillation
Other tachyarrythmia : VT, VT torsade de
pointes, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation,
supraventricular tachycardia
synchronized cardioversion
Biphasic vs Monophasic
Biphasic is more advantageous
The energy needed is lower
Prevent myocardial damage
