Mattera, M.S., R.N., EMT-P Reading assignments: Bledsoe Vol 3; pp. 96-109 SOPs: VT with pulse; Ventricular fibrillation/PVT; Asystole/PEA Drugs: Amiodarone, magnesium, epinephrine 1mg/10mL Procedure manual: Defibrillation; Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) using a Ventricular Assist Device KNOWLEDGE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of the reading assignments, class and homework questions, reviewing the SOPs, and working with their small group, each participant will independently do the following with at least an 80% degree of accuracy and no critical errors: 1. Identify the intrinsic rates, morphology, conduction pathways, and common ECG features of ventricular beats/rhythms. 2. Identify on a 6-second strip the following: a) Idioventricular rhythm b) Accelerated idioventricular rhythm c) Ventricular tachycardia: monomorphic & polymorphic d) Ventricular escape beats e) Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) f) Ventricular fibrillation g) Asystole h) Paced rhythms i) Intraventricular conduction defects (Bundle branch blocks) 3. Systematically evaluate each complex/rhythm for the following: a) Rate (atrial and ventricular) b) Rhythm: Regular/irregular - R-R Interval, P-P Interval c) Presence/absence/morphology of P waves d) Presence/absence/morphology of QRS complexes d) P-QRS relationships f) QRS duration 4. Correlate the cardiac rhythm with patient assessment findings to determine the emergency treatment for each rhythm according to NWC EMSS SOPs. 5.
