Good work!!! Stright to the point, could have added beck’s triad for cardiac tamponade:
-JVD ( jugular vein distension)
-Hypotension
-muffuled heart sounds
With that intro, I think I'm the one who had cardiac arrest
Great video, More videos to come is good news was a help here.
great video thanks a lot
Can you please explain why Hypoglycemia isa removed from the Hs. I read an article that further studies shows that it is still included as reversible causes in pedia but not on adult patients.
Michael, this is a good point. I am an Emergency Physician and see people in cardiac arrest almost daily and I still include hypoglycemia in my differential, I’ll continue to look around why this was removed, but I don’t have a great answer for you. Trauma was also removed from T’s but maybe because that one is such an obvious cause and already related to some of the other H’s and T’s.
Really great presentation ...many thanks
Great vid thank you for your time.
Excellent thank you
thanks for the video.
what about considering including hypocalcemia (+other metabolic disorders) togetther with kalemia and also Hypoglycemia ?
its not in the ALS algorhythm
Damn you for that
Stop
You really scared me at the beginning.
Excellent. I've worked in acute care for 3 years now and have not categorised precursors into Hs & Ts before - helps massively, especially for teaching. Thanks!
bad advice to wear headphones...
I use these in review for paramedic school, and they are excellent for our accelerated class, we all follow your channel to our extreme benefit. Thanks again, from some upgrading medics in Oklahoma.
+melissabeth82818 that's so awesome that I can inspire and help out other health care professionals - it makes my job easier and more enjoyable knowing that I have some impact on other people's learning! Keep up the grind, the science and impact of medicine is an amazing one!
+Medzcool we would love to see a video on peripheral nervous system disorders I.E. Guillain-Barre and Myasthenia Gravis.
+melissabeth82818, I will keep that on my radar. I am currently creating an airway/ Rapid sequence Intubation series & course, so I will be pretty busy with that for the time being. But I will look into making a video on Guillain-Barré syndrome and Myasthenia Gravis for the near future!
He's got a great speaking voice.
OK. It represents the cardiac arrest of reversible. If you ever see a skull, then TAKE OFF YOUR HEADPHONES! You know about h's and t's game to give a chance to prevent an arrest from even happening. Thank you for supporting.
wonderfull explanation
Very straightforward and comprehensive discussion. Anyway you can slow down though?
I had hypokalemia due to which I suffered sinus tachycardia
Excellent overview
Hypo means high
Hypo is low. Wtf are you on
so helpful u make it very easy , thank you so much
Thanks for the jump scare🤦♂️
It was an awesome vid really helped me. Thank❤️
Excellent, many thanks.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Really clear and helpful.
Loved this video was on point with H's and T"s.
Awesome well made video..!
Well presented.
Isn’t ecg flat in cardiac arrest? How to diagnose hypo or hyperkalemia immediately? (Lab test is time consuming)
hypokalemia and hyperkalemia can cause muscle weakness, but ir really depends on its severity
I think your under thinking Cardiac Arrest. Arrest is typically not complete cessation of electrical activity, but rather any cardiac dysrhythmia that is unable to sustain a pulse. VTach, VFib, and PEA (which means pulseless Electrical Activity), which are common dysrhythmias can be see on the monitor.
In regards as to how to find hypokalemia/hyperkalemia, we actually use POCT testing (point of care testing). We can use it to check electrolytes, lactic acids, and other blood chemistries to ascertain chances of revival and causes of CA.
When it said to use headphones I knew there would be a scare at some point, but it still got me. What're you trying to do? Make the viewers go into cardiac arrest lol? Great and helpful video though :)
thank you so much am doing my ALS resit in the morning American tutors always deliver the lecture in plain English
Lancashire AGoGo goodluck tomorrow! I’m planning on doing an ACLS series like this in the future if you ever need to learn this again, make sure to come back to the channel!
