Bradycardia in Cardiovascular Emergencies is when heart rate < 60 beats per minute and inadequate for clinical condition. So what would you do as a Doctor or paramedic to treat this condition? There are step which must done: SSSSSlow
1. Stable: Is the patient hemodynamically unstable?
2. Symptoms: Does the patient have symptoms related to the bradycardia? If a patient is hypotensive or having symptoms of bradycardia at rest, particularly syncope, immediate action must be taken.
- Assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs).
- Place a monitor/defibrilator on the patient, ideally with transcutaneous pacing pads.
- Ensure adequate intravenous acess and oxygenation
3. Source: Where in the conduction system is the dysfunction?
- A brief review of the rhythm strip or ECG important.
- Advanced atrioventricular block is unlikey to respond the increased atrial heart rates that
atropine provides and will likely need urgent pacing.
4. Speed up the heart: Medical therapy: atropine, then dopamine or epinephrine if necessary.
- Atropine (0,5 - 1 mg IV). Doses can be repeated every 3 to 5 minutes. The exception to using
is AV Block type II second degree, which may be worsened by atropine. If intravenous access
is not available, atropine may be given through an endotracheal tube (1-2 mg diluted to a total
not to exceed 10 mL of sterile water or normal saline).
- Dopamine, 2 to 10 µg/kg per minute IV, to keep systolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg
- Epinephrine, 2 to 10 µg per minute IV, to keep systolic blood pressure >90 mm Hg
5. Set up for Peacemaker: Get transcutaneous and/ or transvenous pacemaker system ready.
- Transcutaneous pacing. Place pads on the anterior and posterior chest walls. Initially begin
pacing at the highest output. Rapidly reduce the output until regular capture is seen. If
hypotension is not severe. sedate the patient.
- Prepare for transvenous pacing.

ReplyDeleteIt was during my research on HIV/Herpes/Diabetes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes/diabetes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time and thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something ignorant though,I found it pretty interesting about Dr Itua herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes/diabetes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda. This reinforced my belief that there is a cure for Hiv/Herpes/diabetes Then i found a lady from germany name Achima Abelard Dr Itua Cure her Hiv/diabetes so I send him a mail about my situation then talk more about it and send me his herbal medicine I drank for two weeks.And today I'm Cured no Hiv/Herpes/diabetes in my life,I searched for Hiv/Herpes groups to attempt to make contact with people in order to learn more about Hiv/Herpes Herbal Cure I believed at this time that you with the same disease this information is helpful to you and I wanted to do the best I could to spread this information in the hopes of helping other people.That Dr Itua cure Hiv,Herpes,Hepatitis,Diabetes, Neuromuscular Diseases Copd,Fibroid,Als, And Cancer.
