Rapid Cardiopulmonary Assessment

Rapid Cardiopulmonary Assessment

1. Evaluation of general appearance (mental status, tone, responsiveness)

2. Physical examination of airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs)

3. Classification of physiologic status

Rapid cardiopulmonary assessment should be accomplished in less than 30 seconds!

Classification of Physiologic Status: Shock

Classification of Physiologic Status: Shock

Early signs (compensated)

— Increased heart rate

— Poor systemic perfusion

Late signs (decompensated)

— Weak central pulses

— Altered mental status

— Hypotension

Septic Shock Is DifferentSeptic Shock Is Different

• Cardiac output may be variable

• Perfusion may be high, normal, or low

• Early signs of sepsis/septic shock include

— Fever or hypothermia

— Tachycardia and tachypnea

— Leukocytosis, leukopenia, or increased bands

Special Situations: Trauma Special Situations: Trauma

• Airway and Breathing problems are more common than Circulatory shock

• Use the ABC or assessment triangle approach plus

— Airway + cervical spine immobilization

— Breathing + pneumothorax management

— Circulation + control of bleeding

• Identify and treat life-threatening injuries

The Technique of R.S.I.The Technique of R.S.I.

•Keep it simple, not stressful

• In a nutshell:

•What drug has been proven to increase the chance of successfully performing endotracheal intubation?


•Keep it simple, not stressful

• In a nutshell:

•What drug has been proven to increase the chance of successfully performing endotracheal intubation?

•A paralytic agent such as succinylcholine


•Therefore, all RSI consists of is using a paralytic to increase the chance of being successful



•The rest of the drugs are because we’re nice (but that’s optional!)

–SEDATIVE


• Therefore, all RSI consists of is using a paralytic to increase the chance of being successful

• The rest of the drugs are because we’re nice (but that’s optional!)

– SEDATIVE• Etomidate, benzos, propofol, etc.• Serves to make it a more pleasant

experience• Don’t need to duplicate efforts



•Or because we think they should help prevent a side effect




–ATROPINE




–ATROPINE• Dryer work environment• Heart rate stabilization




–LIDOCAINE *


• Therefore, all RSI consists of is using a paralytic to increase the chance of being successful

• Or because we think they should help prevent a side effect

– LIDOCAINE *• A bit questionable• May help prevent ICP increase


• Don’t forget the basics though:

• BVM skills

• Positioning

• Preparedness

• Don’t rush, RSI is not a rescue airway technique, use BVM until you are ready

RSI: Rapid Sequence Intubation

RSI: Rapid Sequence Intubation

•“full stomach rule” in urgent intubations•Preoxygenation 1-5 minutes with 100%•Utilize Sellick maneuver•Choreography of medications•Confidence of providers to adequately ventilate

after medications are given.•Rule out airway compression from mass effect

if paralysis is being considered.

SedationSedation

•Fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg IV

•Midazolam 0.1 mg/kg IV

•Diazepam 0.1 mg/kg IV

•Ketamine* 0.5-2 mg/kg IV

•* can be tripled for IM dosing

ParalysisParalysis

• Succinylcholine * 1-2 mg/kg IV• 5 to 10 min

Objectives

•Differentiate shock from hypotension

•Distinguish compensated from decompensated shock

•Outline appropriate shock management

• Identify and manage selected pediatric dysrhythmias

Shock and Hypotension

•Shock is inadequate perfusion and oxygen delivery.

•Hypotension is decreased systolic blood pressure.

•Shock can occur with increased, decreased, or normal blood pressure.

Recognition of Shock

Compensated: Decompensated:

• Normal level of consciousness

• Altered level of consciousness (ALOC)

• Tachycardia • Profound tachycardia, or bradycardia

• Normal or delayed perfusion

• Delayed perfusion

• Normal or increased BP • Hypotension

Management of ShockManagement of Shock

Interventions:• Open airway • Provide

supplemental oxygen

• Support ventilation• Shock position• Vascular access/fluid

resuscitation• Vasopressor support

AppearanceAlert but agitated

• On initial assessment, you note clear breath sounds, a RR of 60 breaths/min and a heart rate that is too rapid to count.

What rhythm does the monitor show?

How can you distinguish SVT from sinus tachycardia?

SVT

Sinus Tachycardia

SVT versus Sinus Tachycardia

SVT versus Sinus Tachycardia

SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia)

Sinus Tachycardia

• Vague history of irritability, poor feeding

• History of fever, vomiting/diarrhea, hemorrhage

• Cardiac monitor: QRS complex narrow; R to R interval regular; no visible P waves

• Cardiac monitor: QRS complex narrow; R to R interval varies; P waves present and upright

• HR > 200 beats/min • HR < 220 beats/min

Treatment PrioritiesTreatment Priorities

• Supplemental oxygen• Obtain IV access• Convert rhythm based on hemodynamic stability

–Stable: vagal maneuvers or adenosine–Unstable:

• IV /IO access obtained - adenosine• No IV/IO and unconscious - synchronized

cardioversion

•Blow-by oxygen administered

• IV started

•Adenosine 0.1 mg/kg (1mg), given rapid IVP with 5 ml saline flush

•Five seconds of asystole, followed by conversion to NSR

Conclusion

• Cardiovascular compromise in children is often related to respiratory failure, hypovolemia, poisoning or sepsis.

• Management priorities for shock include airway management, oxygen and fluid resuscitation.

• Treat rhythm disturbances emergently only if signs of respiratory failure or shock are present.

• Both rescuers verify adequate chest expansion

Prehospital Tracheal Intubation vs Bag-Mask Ventilation

Prehospital Tracheal Intubation vs Bag-Mask Ventilation

• Bag-mask ventilation may be as effective as intubation if transport time is short

• Tracheal intubation requires training and experience

• Confirmation of tracheal tube position strongly recommended

• Monitoring of quality improvement important

Complications of Prehospital Tracheal Intubation

Complications of Prehospital Tracheal Intubation

• Successful tracheal intubation rate: 57%• Intubation attempts increased time at the scene by

2 to 3 minutes• Unrecognized tube displacement or misplacement: 8%

— Esophageal intubation: 2%— Unrecognized extubation: 6%— Esophageal intubation or unrecognized extubation fatal

(for 14 of 15 patients)

Confirmation of Tracheal Tube Placement in Pediatric Advanced Life Support

Confirmation of Tracheal Tube Placement in Pediatric Advanced Life Support

• Visualize tube through cords

• Assess breath sounds, chest rise bilaterally

• Secondary confirmation:

— Oxygenation (oximetry)

— Exhaled CO2 (capnography)

Tube ConfirmationTube Confirmation

• No single confirmation device or examination technique is 100% reliable

• Detection of exhaled CO2 is reliable in patients weighing >2 kg with a heart rate

• Exhaled CO2 can be helpful in cardiac arrest• Confirmation of tube position is particularly

important after intubation and after any patient movement

Insertion of the Laryngeal Mask Airway in ChildrenInsertion of the Laryngeal Mask Airway in Children

• The LMA consists of a tube with a cuffed mask at the distal end.

• The LMA is blindly introduced into the pharynx until resistance is met; the cuff is then inflated and ventilation assessed.

Use of Laryngeal Mask Airway in Pediatric Advanced Life SupportUse of Laryngeal Mask Airway in Pediatric Advanced Life Support

• Extensive experience with pediatric and adult patients in the operating room

• An acceptable alternative to intubation of the unresponsive patient when the healthcare provider is trained

• Contraindicated if gag reflex intact• Limited data outside the operating room

(Class Indeterminate)

Intraosseous Needles Are Recommended for Patients >6 Years of Age

Intraosseous Needles Are Recommended for Patients >6 Years of Age

• Successful use of intraosseous needles has been documented in older children and adolescents

• Devices for adult use are commercially available

• “No one should die because of lack of vascular access”

Drug Therapy for Cardiac ArrestDrug Therapy for Cardiac Arrest

• Epinephrine: the drug of choice— Initial IV/IO dose: 0.01 mg/kg (tracheal: 0.1 mg/kg)— Do not routinely use high-dose (1:1,000)

epinephrine— Good at getting heart rates to return— Poor long term outcome

Resuscitation of the Newly Born Outside the Delivery Room

• Priority: Establish effective ventilation• Provide chest compressions if heart rate is <60 bpm despite
