💙🚨CODE BLUE 🚨💙
Do you remember your H’s & T’s?

🚨A PEA Arrest stands for Pulseless Electrical Activity. If the patient is on a monitor, you can see electrical activity on their EKG. But, if you feel for a pulse they’re pulseless. This can sometimes last a couple of minutes before they flatline.

🚨This is really important to catch early. If I know my patient is circling the drain and I’m expecting a code... my fingers are feeling for a pulse nonstop, even if I see a normal EKG on the monitor. You want to catch them in cardiac arrest ASAP for the best outcome, and start compressions the second you lose a pulse, not wait for the monitor to show you.

🚨Even if you’re not in the ICU with a monitor, if your patient codes it is still so important to run through possible causes of the code. These are your H’s & T’s!

🚨Codes are chaos, we all know this. It’s so easy to let the adrenaline kick in and be the first to grab the meds or start compressions. OBVI this is important but don’t get too caught up in the process that you forget to assess what caused the code in the first place. You can do compressions on an acidotic patient all night long, and they’re not gonna come back unless you treat the cause of that acidosis (push an amp of bicarb, treat the K etc).

🚨It’s extremely important for the code team to communicate. Be the one to shout out possible causes and run through them with others. All of the interventions listed in this diagram can be life saving ✨
