Study Notes
Targeted Temperature Management (TTM) in Cardiac Care
- Patients eligible for TTM include unconscious adults who have achieved Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest.
- The recommended temperature range for TTM is between 32 and 36 degrees Celsius.
- Temperature maintenance during TTM should last for a duration of 24 hours.
Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation
- Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) refers to the percentage of time that chest compressions are delivered during cardiac arrest; it should be maximized for effectiveness.
- The preferred CCF is within the range of 60 to 80%.
- The two essential interventions during cardiac arrest are Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation.
Team Dynamics in Resuscitation
- The team leader in a resuscitation scenario is responsible for assigning specific roles, managing responsibilities, and organizing effective interventions to minimize interruptions in chest compressions.
Misconceptions in Resuscitation
- It is a misconception that drugs and airway insertion are more critical than CPR and early defibrillation; in fact, CPR and defibrillation are prioritized.
Drug Administration during Cardiac Arrest
- The preferred routes for administering medications during cardiac arrest are Intravenous (IV) or Intraosseous (IO).
Preferred Venous Access
- Peripheral IV lines are preferred during resuscitation to avoid interruptions in chest compressions, whereas central lines are not favored for their potential to disrupt CPR efforts.
