JEFF,
LOVE THE SITE!! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!
Petals pray says
I have learned so much since I have been on this site. Many thanks Jeff.
James Leister says
Noticed the “Howdy” before my name at the top of the page. Are you a Texas A&M alumni?
Jeff with admin. says
No not from Texas. Two states north. (Kansas) Jeff
Alexander Lokeno says
why is hypothemia contraindicared to TCP?
Jeff with admin. says
The main reason why TCP is contraindicated for hypothermia induced bradycardia is because the AHA wants to ensure, the primary focus needs to be on rewarming the patient. It is also thought that in a state of severe hypothermia the heart is unable to respond to the electrical stimulus.
However, I think, in the future there could be some changes in the use of TCP in states of hypothermia. There is some evidence that suggests when TCP was used in states of symptomatic bradycardia caused by hypothermia, it improved circulation and thus lead to faster warming times and better patient outcomes. Here is a link to one such report.

I’m really impressed with this site. I am recertifying on Monday. I sent for a book online and received a 2005 ACLS book. YIKES! I found your site and am so happy I am studying this way. It’s easier identifying the changes in the new guidelines the way your site is laid out. I also appreciate the links to the evidence-based science behind the decisions being made. Great job and well worth the money. I will spread the word to all my colleagues to check out your site.

Great Practice
Falila Yaya says
I thought the demand rate for transcutaneous pacing is 80/min.
Jeff with admin. says
Hi Falila,
Thanks for the comment. AHA provider manual pg. 113 states “Start pacing at a rate of about 60/min.”
Elaine McKinney says
Enjoyed the practice.
RONAK IQBAL says
The answer choices are wrong. It should be set at 10mA above the capture dose
jeff with admin. says
AHA Provider Manual page 113 (Table at the top of page) states: Step 4—“Set the current milliamperes output 2mA above the dose at which consistent capture is observed (safety margin).

Excellent
Ali Ibrahim Yasiine says
Excellent…
David says
Although Transcutaneous pacing MAY be used for all of the above rhythms, it is only indicated for symptomatic bradycardia.
Gul says
challenging and meaning ful
Gul says
nice practice
Sandra Lee says
great!!!!
