Seen it twice. Would these scenarios qualify¿ Both 2 hours from cath lab, Unstable wide QRS systolic Regular 180 range relatively stable rate. Bp low 80s 1. Chest Pain with collapse. 12 lekg interpretation by remote cardiologist who recommended electricity ( I dont remember synch or unsynch) which failed. Eventual diagnosis Aortic Aneurism. 2. Febrile poor health status post MI patient successfully treated with fluids then ICU pressors (with one hand on the defibrillator). Eventually dx as aberrant Afib with Rapid Response.In your PEA you talk about detective work. History guided care more than 12 lekg and technology. Thank you for great lectures.

Love the videos,, they helped me so much and made it fun to watch.keep it up . Thank you

Guys, really in practice, don't follow ACLS on this one. In adults, monomorphic wide complex tachycardias are almost always V Tach and should be treated with sedated shock. The criteria by EKG is never fully specific! Generally, unless your patient has a history of a bundle on EKG, and SVT , just make life simple. Sedate and shot!

Hannibal EnemyofRome my mother has a RBBB and when she went into SVT, it had a wide morphology so no

[@davidmbeckmann]

@@mutated__donkey5840 well, idiot boy, if you actually read my comment...she has a RBBB documented and a history of SVT ...so learn something and shut up!

[@jhurl8502]

@@mutated__donkey5840 thats why he said unless you have a Hx of a bbb

The cardiac axis will easily tell you what it is without using Adenosine.

Wowwwww. The why of learning is always cool.

keep em comming !

[@CritER2023]

Wow, this video is so cool!

[@ladygrace919]

VT starts in the ventricles and moves retrograde, it never passed through the AV node. If that helps. Ask your self where does the impulse originates and follow that electrical flow. Best Mark

Love this video

[@autumnmeadows4079]

This was excellent, and I agree about the music. You are good enough without it.

Love it!

[@ahmedalhalabi1972]

Thank you for this interesting video. My question is what is the ttt of SVT with aberrency? in stable patients..

[@rishikwatt483]

Hi

[@melissastauble2707]

Great video!!

[@FirstLast-uz4zz]

How does adenoside blocks AV node? If the AV node is blocked because of adenosine, how come it is not affecting the ventricles? Signal is blocked or slowed down to the AV node. So, how come it is not working on VT? I hope I am getting my point across. It doesn't make sense to me. Would anybody please explain this concept further. Thanks.

[@jhurl8502]

Accessory pathway somewhere else between atriums and ventricles

[@bayushiep]

What happen when you give adenosine for irregular rhythm? Bayushi Eka Putra Indonesia

[@bayushiep]

Thank you very much :). very helpful. Btw, an input. In Indonesia, we have additional algorithm for shock, hypotension, and pulmonary edema. I think it's a plus if you have the algorithm reviewed. Considering the AHA guideline may change in 2015, I think you can add the review the algorithm of shock, hypotension, and pulmonary edema as an additional review.

[@davidmbeckmann]

+ACLS Certification Institute Wrong. If an irregular, wide complex tachy happens to be WPW with atrial fibrillation, adenosine and any nodal blocker, calcium or beta blocker, can cause one to one conduction down the accessory pathway and resultant ventricular fibrillation.

[@wheezingwyvern538]

Thank you so much for your videos! Because of a mistake in scheduling in my class, we only got one day of ACLS before we took the test. I passed but I didn't really retain much. Your videos are quick, to the point but also packed with information, more than what we really got. Thank you so much, these videos have been really helping me!

ACLS is nothing but regurgitated words meant to supply you with a card. Look for an ACLS where the teacher actually wants you to learn, not get out of class early and hand you a completion card.

The music accompaniment is far too loud & makes it difficult to hear what is being said.
