How to Treat Reversible Cardiac Arrest Causes Thru ACLS Algorithm
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs without warning or reason. In these cases, it may not be possible to identify an immediate cause of arrest. For example, congenital heart defects may lead to sudden cardiac arrest, and surgery or other invasive treatments may be necessary. However, the most common causes of cardiac arrest, the “Hs and Ts,”… Read more

The Value of the Opioid Algorithm—Saving Lives and Managing Epidemiology
The opioid epidemic is a global problem and burden on health care. According to CNN.com, roots of the problem traces back to the release of a proposed newer, safer alternative to traditional painkillers in the 1990s, OxyContin. Regardless of how it was originally marketed, the use of newer opioids represented a change in how health… Read more

Why PALS Megacodes are the Best Way to Memorize PALS Algorithms
Knowing to respond to someone in distress or cardiac arrest is essential for health care professionals. A misstep could result in permanent injury or death, and cases involving children in distress place a heavier burden on caregivers. Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) is the go-to solution for treating children in distress, and PALS Megacodes, which… Read more
