About this listen
Tips for ACLS providers to consider when evaluating hypoxia as a possible cause of cardiac arrest and what we can do to correct it.
Determining hypoxia using a pulse oximeter or arterial blood gasses (ABGs).
A goal of ACLS is to recognize signs of hypoxia and provide timely treatment to prevent an arrest.
Examples of some things that might lead us to think of hypoxia as a cause of cardiac arrest.
Why pulse ox doesn’t give accurate readings during CPR.
Delivering ventilations with near 100% oxygen concentration using a BVM attached to supplemental O2 and a reservoir.
Using end tidal waveform capnography to assess the quality of CPR.
Changes to ventilation rates, tidal volume, and O2 concentration affects a patient's oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH.
The danger of excessive ventilation of a patient in cardiac arrest.
**American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser
This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.
I hope you'll consider contributing.
Every donation makes a difference in the fight against breast cancer!
