      A regular heart rhythm has a consistent R to R interval. This means that the distanced between the peak of the r-wave will be consistent and not change. An irregular rhythm will have an inconsistent R to R interval.

      Kind regards,

    Jeff can you give me the sequence of giving meds,, CPR, shock, checkng the rythm and pulse check

    • Jeff with admin. says

      After establishing rhythm and pulselessness the sequence would go like this:
      Shock 120 J, CPR (5 cycles), rhythm check, Shock 160 J, CPR (5 cycles)/Epinephrine 1mg then every 3-5 min, rhythm check, Shock 200 J, CPR (5 cycles)/amiodarone 300mg, rhythm check, Shock 200 J, CPR (5 cycles)/amiodarone 150mg, rhythm check….

      Kind regards,
      Jeff

    how soon after epi is given as the first line drug can amio be given and can amio second dose be given right after the first or must we wait 3-5 minutes for all drugs

    • Jeff with admin. says

      Amiodarone is give after the 3rd shock. The 2nd dose of amiodarone should be given after at least a full cycle of CPR. This will ensure that the amiodarone has had time to be fully circulate and have an effect.
      The important thing is that the medications should be fully circulated before another medication is given.

      Kind regards,
      Jeff
