RC (UK)
Cardiovascular Disease
• In Europe cardiovascular disease accounts for 40% of all deaths < 75 yrs
• In QAT cardiovascular disease accounts for 29% of all deaths all ages.
• One third of all people developing an MI die before reaching hospital
• Presenting rhythm in most of these cases is VF/VT
• In-hospital cardiac arrest more likely non-VF/VT

CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF CARDIORESPIRATORY
ARREST
2/15/2003 , 4
RC (UK)
Causes of cardiorespiratory arrest 1. Airway obstruction
• CNS depression • Blood, vomit, foreign body• Trauma• Infection, inflammation• Laryngospasm• Bronchospasm
5
RC (UK)
Causes of cardiorespiratory arrest 2. Breathing inadequacy
• Decreased respiratory drive– CNS depression
• Decreased respiratory effort– neurological lesion– muscle weakness– restrictive chest defect
• Pulmonary disorders– pneumothorax, lung pathology
6
RC (UK)
Causes of cardiorespiratory arrest 3. Cardiac abnormalities
Primary• Ischaemia• Myocardial infarction• Hypertensive heart disease• Valve disease• Drugs• Electrolyte abnormalities
Secondary• Asphyxia• Hypoxaemia• Blood loss• Septic shock
7
RC (UK)
Recognition of patients at risk
• History, examination, investigations• Clinical indicators of deterioration before in-hospital cardiac arrest in
80%–tachypnoea–tachycardia–hypotension–reduced conscious level
8

• Airway -threatened• Breathing
– Respiratory arrest– RR < 5 or RR >36
• Circulation– cardiac arrest– PR < 40 or PR >140– Systolic BP < 90

CARDIAC MONITORING &
RHYTHM RECOGNITION
2/15/2003 , 15
RC (UK)
Which patients?• Cardiac arrest or other important
arrhythmias• Chest pain• Heart failure• Collapse / syncope• Shock / hypotension• Palpitations
16
RC (UK)
How to monitor the ECG (1):Monitoring leads
• 3-lead system approximates to I, II, III
• Colour coded
• Remove hair
• Apply over bone
• Lead setting (II)
• Gain
17
RC (UK)
How to monitor the ECG (2):Defibrillator paddles
• Suitable for “quick-look”
• Movement artefact
• Risk of spurious asystole
18
RC (UK)
How to monitor the ECG (3):Adhesive monitoring electrodes
• “Hands-free” monitoring and defibrillation
19
RC (UK)
12-lead ECG
20
RC (UK)
12-lead ECG
• 3D electrical activity from heart
• More sophisticated ECG interpretation
• ST segment analysis
21
RC (UK)
• Depolarisation initiated in SA node
• Slow conduction through AV node
• Rapid conduction through Purkinje fibres
Basic electrocardiography (1)
22
RC (UK)
Basic electrocardiography (2)
• P wave = atrial depolarisation
• QRS = ventricular depolarisation (< 0.12 s)
• T wave = ventricular repolarisation
23
RC (UK)
How to read a rhythm strip
1. Is there any electrical activity?
2. What is the ventricular (QRS) rate?
3. Is the QRS rhythm regular or irregular?
4. Is the QRS width normal or prolonged?
5. Is atrial activity present?
6. How is it related to ventricular activity?
24
RC (UK)
ECG rhythm interpretation
• Effective treatment often possible without precise ECG diagnosis
• Haemodynamic consequences of any given rhythm will vary
• Treat the patient not the rhythm
25
RC (UK)
What is the ventricular rate?
• Normal 60-100 min-1
• Bradycardia < 60 min-1
• Tachycardia > 100 min-1
Rate = 300Number of large squares between consecutive QRS complexes*
* At standard paper speed of 25 mm sec-1, 5 large squares = 1 second
26
RC (UK)
Is the QRS rhythm regular or irregular?
• Unclear at rapid heart rates
• Compare R-R intervals
• Irregularly irregular = AF
27
RC (UK)
Is the QRS width normal or prolonged?
• Normal QRS:
–< 0.12 s (< 3 small squares)
–originates from above bifurcation of bundle of His
28
RC (UK)
• Prolonged QRS (> 0.12 s) arises from:
–ventricular myocardium, or
–supraventricular with aberrant conduction
Is the QRS width normal or prolonged?
29
RC (UK)
A broad complex tachycardia should be assumed to be
ventricular in origin unless there is a very good reason to suspect
otherwise.
30
RC (UK)
Is atrial activity present?
• P waves (leads II and V1)
• Rate, regularity, morphology
• Flutter waves
• Atrial activity may be revealed by slowing QRS rate with adenosine
31
RC (UK)32
RC (UK)
How is atrial activity related to ventricular activity?
• Consistent, fixed PR interval
• Variable, but recognisable pattern
• No relationship - atrioventricular dissociation

DEFIBRILLATION
2/15/2003 , 37
RC (UK)
Mechanism of defibrillation
• Definition
“The termination of fibrillation or absence of VF/VT at 5 seconds after shock delivery”
• Critical mass of myocardium depolarised• Natural pacemaker tissue resumes control
38
RC (UK)
Defibrillation
Success depends on delivery of current to the myocardium
Current flow depends upon:
• Electrode position
• Transthoracic impedance
• Energy delivered
• Body size
39
RC (UK)
Transthoracic Impedance
Dependent upon:
• Electrode size
• Electrode/skin interface
• Contact pressure
• Phase of respiration
• Sequential shocks

RC (UK)
Manual Defibrillation
Relies upon:
• Operator recognition of ECG rhythm
• Operator charging machine and delivering shock
• Can be used for synchronised cardioversion
44
RC (UK)
Defibrillator Safety
• Never hold both paddles in one hand
• Charge only with paddles on casualty’s chest
• Avoid direct or indirect contact
• Wipe any water from the patient’s chest
• Remove high-flow oxygen from zone of defibrillation
45
RC (UK)
Synchronised cardioversion
• Convert atrial or ventricular tachyarrhythmias
• Shock synchronised to occur with the R wave
• Short delay after pressing discharge buttons - keep defibrillator electrodes in place
• Conscious patients: sedation or anaesthesia
• Check mode if further shock/s required
46
RC (UK)
RC (UK)
Automated external defibrillators• Analyse cardiac
rhythm• Prepare for shock
delivery• Specificity for
recognition of shockable rhythm close to 100%
48
RC (UK)
Automated external defibrillators
Advantages:
• Less training required
–no need for ECG interpretation
• Suitable for “first-responder” defibrillation
• Public access defibrillation (PAD) programs
49
RC (UK)
Biphasic Defibrillators
• Require less energy for defibrillation
– smaller capacitors and batteries
– lighter and more transportable
• Repeated < 200 J biphasic shocks have higher success rate for terminating VF/VT than escalating monophasic shocks
