The primary change is from the “ABC” format to “CAB.” After establishing unresponsiveness and calling for a code, check for a pulse less than 10 seconds then begin compressions immediately, within 10 seconds of arriving at the patient’s side. After thirty compressions, give your first two breaths. The 30:2 ratio then will continue.  \nHere are the basic steps in BLS:  \n1. Check for responsiveness  \n2. Call for help and an AED  \n3. Check for pulse and simultaneously scan the chest for breathing.  \n4. Begin the thirty compressions (within 10 seconds of arriving at the patient)  \n5. Give two breaths—continue 30:2 ratio.  \nHigh Quality CPR includes:  \n1. Effective compressions at least 100/min, no more than 120/min  \n2. Minimal interruptions (\u003C10secs)  \n3. Allow for recoil, monitoring via capnography *less than 10 is ineffective  \n4. At least 2 inch compression depth  \n5. Rotate q2mins/5cycles  \n6. Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) at least 60%, goal of greater than 80% Defibrillate early (use AED)  \n1. Turn on AED  \n2. Place AED Pads  \n3. Analyze Rhythm  \n4. Consider Compressions to prep the tissue  \n5. Defibrillate ‐ SHOCK  \nAirway  \nPulse Oximetry to be between 94 – 99% to avoid hyperoxia (high oxygen tension can lead to tissue death  \nWaveform Capnography (pETCO2)  \nBest way to evaluate advanced airway placement  \nCan assist in measuring cardiac output during CPR  \nETCO2 reading must be greater than 10 during CPR (>10) or patient will not survive  \nNormal readings for pETCO2 for patients should be 35‐40  \nVentilations with Bag Valve Mask (BVM)– breaths every 6 sec (10 breaths per minute) Ventilations with Advanced Airway – breaths every 6 sec (10 breaths per minute)  \nSinus Bradycardia  \n(Sinus rhythm with a rate less than 50)  \nIs your patient stable or unstable?  \nStable‐ monitor closely  \nUnstable/ Symptomatic – this patient is showing signs of poor perfusion (their heart rate is not fast enough to deliver an adequate volume of blood to the body and requires treatment/ intervention) for example: hypotensive feels faint, decreased or altered mental status, cool or clammy/diaphoretic.  \nAdminister 0.5mg Atropine. If Atropine is ineffective you now have four options:  \n1. Repeat Atropine 0.5 mg (dosing 0.5mg – 1 mg, max total dose 3mg)  \n2. administer Dopamine 2‐20 mcg/kg/minute OR  \n3. Administer Epinephrine infusion: 2 – 10 mcg per minute  \n4. Prepare and provide external transcutaneous pacing.  \nHeart Blocks  \nIs your patient stable or unstable?  \nStable‐ monitor closely, seek expert consultation  \nUnstable/ Symptomatic – this patient is showing signs of poor perfusion (their heart rate is not fast enough to deliver an adequate volume of blood to the body and requires treatment/ intervention) for example: low B/P, feels faint, decreased or altered mental status, cool or clammy/diaphoretic  \nAdminister 0.5mg Atropine. But don’t rely on atropine in Mobitz type II, second‐degree block or third‐ degree block with a new wide QRS complex.  \nFor an unstable Mobitz type II second‐degree or third‐degree heart block patient be prepared for transcutaneous pacing  \nSupraventricular Tachycardia  \n‐ SVT (SUSTAINED rapid narrow complex tachycardia with a rate greater than 150)  \nIs your patient stable or unstable? Stable‐ Attempt vagal maneuvers  \nIf vagal maneuvers aren’t successful in slowing their heart rate, administer 6 mg of Adenosine.  \nAdenosine is that it is a fast‐push and fast‐acting drug. It may cause a short period of asystole. Patient also must be monitored.  \nIf the first dose of 6 mg isn’t successful, ACLS allow you to repeat the Adenosine providing 12 mg the second time if needed.  \nSVT (continued)  \nUnstable/ Symptomatic – this patient is showing signs of poor perfusion (low B/P, feels faint, decreased or altered mental status, cool or clammy/diaphoretic) it may be due to their heart rate is too fast to deliver an adequate volume of blood to the body and requi","cbCaieftHXtjCeHU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieftHXtjCeHU","pdf",723313,"English","# BLS CPR 2015 Changes\n## CAB approach and 30:2 ratio\n## High quality CPR targets\n## AED steps\n# Airway and Ventilation Monitoring\n## Pulse oximetry and capnography targets\n## Bag valve mask and advanced airway ventilation\n# Bradycardia and Heart Blocks\n## Sinus bradycardia stability assessment\n## Atropine dosing and escalation\n## Heart block management\n# Tachyarrhythmias: SVT, VT, and VFib\n## Supraventricular tachycardia\n## Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia\n## Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and torsades\n## Ventricular fibrillation workflow","[{\"question\":\"What is the key BLS CPR change in 2015 ACLS guidelines regarding ABC vs CAB?\",\"answer\":\"The primary change moves from ABC to CAB.
