Basic Life Support & CPR for Adults Video Transcript:Hi, everyone. Welcome to today’s video segment where we’re going to review basic life support for the adult. Before we even get to the rescue portion, step 1 is safety. Is it safe to go onto the scene and treat your victim? Unless you’re properly trained and properly equipped to go into a hazardous situation, don’t […]
AEDs for Infants and Children Video Hi, everyone. Welcome to part 6, use of the automatic external defibrillator for children and infants. When we’re talking about kids and infants, first thing is the age group. We’re talking about an age group between 1 year old and 8 years old. After 8, we’re really talking about an adult, so from 1 to […]
AEDs for Adults and Children Over 8 Video Hi, everyone. Welcome back. In this video, we’re going to review operation of the automatic external defibrillator for adults and for children over 8 years old. First thing is knowing your equipment. If you’re able to, make sure you know your AED because they all act a little differently. Some AEDs have an on […]
Tachycardia Algorithm Video Hi. I’m Mark from ACLS Certification Institute. Welcome back to Rapid Algorithm Review. Today, tachycardia. Now I’ll get into tachycardia rhythm. The first thing we’re looking for is the heart rate. Remember, tachycardia is any rate over 100, but in the ACLS algorithm, we’re looking for heart rates and pulses above 150. Next, why is […]
Suspected Stroke Algorithm Video Transcript:Hi. I’m Mark for ACLS Certification Institute. Welcome to another Rapid Algorithm Review. Today we’re going to review stroke. There is nothing more time-sensitive than medical care during a stroke. Just like other algorithms, it all starts with the patient presentation. When assessing for stroke, a great pre-hospital or even hospital assessment is the […]
PALS Tachycardia Algorithm Video Hi, everyone. Welcome back. In today’s video, we’re going to review the brand-new 2015 PALS pediatric tachycardia algorithm. We’re going to review the types of tachycardias that are seen in the algorithm. We’re going to talk about the causes of these tachycardias, the treatments of these tachycardias, and the drugs and drug dosages that we’re […]
PALS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm Video Below, you’ll find the full script for our discussion on the PALS cardiac arrest algorithm. For more details on some of the items covered in our PALS certification online, continue reading below: Hi. I’m Mark. Welcome to the first in our video series covering PALS (pediatric advanced life support). Today we’re going to review the […]
Neonatal Resuscitation Algorithm Video Transcript:Hi, everyone. Welcome back. In today’s video, we’re going to review the 2015 updated treatment algorithm for neonatal resuscitation, having babies. If you’re in the field and you get called for someone having a baby, right away you’re thinking this: “I don’t know nothin’ about birthin’ babies.” Then you look at your partner, and you […]
Adult Cardiac Arrest – Ventricular Fibrillation Video Hi. I’m Mark from ACLS Certification Institute, and welcome back to Rapid Algorithm Review. Today, ventricular fibrillation. Step 1. Establish unresponsiveness. Poke ‘em with a stick. Establish unresponsiveness and check for breathing. Again, you’re just looking for breathing no more than about 5 seconds. If the patient is unresponsive, not breathing, immediately call the […]
