  1. EDucateEM February 2024 Cardiac Arrest DC Cardioversion 14/02/2024 COLIN MUNRO

  2. DC Cardioversion Aims 1. Understand the indications 2. Know how to prepare 3. Know use the defib for cardioversion 4. Post cardioversion care

  3. 1. Understand the Indications Intervene so peri-arrest arrhythmias don t progress Patient with adverse or life-threatening features Shock (Systolic<90mmHg) Syncope Myocardial ischaemia Severe heart failure

  4. 2. Know how to prepare Environment? Monitoring? Equipment? Personnel? Patient?

  5. 3. Know use the defib for cardioversion* *Cardioversion not defibrillator Pad placement with monitoring leads Get out of AED mode Sync button Energy selection (ALS book) Atrial Flutter/SVT Start at 70-120J Pulsed VT Start at 120-150J Atrial Fibrillation Start at highest energy output (360J) NHST policy 200, 300, 360J Safe use of defib Need to hold down shock button

  6. 4. Post cardioversion care Success? Further attempts at increasing energy Change pad position Amiodarone + further shocks Cardiology input Repeat ECG Observation (cardiovascular stability and recovery from sedation). Disposition CCU

  7. DC Cardioverison Summary Life threatening features Preparation is key Defib set-up Post cardioversion care
