Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm (VF/pVT/Asystole/PEA) 1 Start CPR • Begin bag-mask ventilation and give oxygen • Attach monitor/defibrillator

Download the Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and Asystole algorithm to learn the protocols / treatment of these nonshockable rhythms.

American Heart Association guidelines are updated every ve years. If you are reading this page after December 2030, please contact [email protected] for an update. …

Understanding the PEA and Asystole algorithm is essential for responding decisively in cardiac arrest situations. Enhance your expertise and readiness with an Advanced Cardiovascular Life …

Jan 8, 2025 · PEA is “Pulseless Electrical Activity”. This means that there is a good electrical rhythm with no mechanical response from the cardiac muscle. PEA is not a given rhythm, it is …

Dec 7, 2025 · Don’t worry, the ACLS algorithms aren’t difficult and confusing math equations. Instead, they’re step-by-step visual flowcharts that walk you through how to respond to cardiac …

If VF/VT: Give 1 shock immediately then follow the algorithm. If PEA or asystole: Continue CPR, give epinephrine as soon as possible and follow the algorithm. Minimize interruptions of CPR. …

The foundation of all algorithms involves the systematic approach of the BLS Survey and the ACLS Survey (using steps ABCD) that you will find later in this handbook.

Learn the AHA guidelines for the ACLS Cardiac Arrest Algorithm 2020 to 2025, guiding rescuers in treating pulseless patients unresponsive to BLS with CPR, defibrillation, and medications.

One easy way to remember the most common causes of PEA, as well as other cardiac emergencies, is the H’s and T’s of ACLS. See the H’s and T’s page for more information on …
