#Pulseless electrical activity treatment update

“PEA is just a bunch of BULLSHIT!” Joe talks about the FALLACY OF PEA on the ER Cast podcast with Rob Orman… This new study seems to demonstrate that stratification by ecg width may not be evidence-based

A Simplified and Structured Teaching Tool for the Evaluation and Management of Pulseless Electrical Activity.

Identification of pseudo-electromechanical dissociation.” Chest 101(1): 123-128. “Aortic pressure during human cardiac arrest. “Impact of modified treatment in echocardiographically confirmed pseudo-pulseless electrical activity in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with constant end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure during compression pauses.” J Int Med Res 38(4): 1458-1467 “Coronary perfusion pressure during external chest compression in pseudo-EMD, comparison of systolic versus diastolic synchronization.” Resuscitation 83(10): 1287-1291. “A swine model of pseudo-pulseless electrical activity induced by partial asphyxiation.” Resuscitation 78(2): 196-199 In this episode, Joe was “Orating via the Anus” while Zack and Scott took a more evidence-based approach: Our friend Gregor Posen performed this excellent Pseudo-PEA (PREM) Paper Bibliography

On Youtube Here’s the Littmann Article on PEAĪ Simplified and Structured Teaching Tool for the Evaluation and Management of Pulseless Electrical Activity Update But what of the former? What should we do with that? Listen to the episode. Scott proposes 2 new terms to bring us into the modern era: PREM-pulseless with a rhythm and echocardiographic motion PRES-pulseless with a rhythm and echocardiographic standstill Joe asks why we shouldn’t just treat the latter like asystole, and he’s probably right.

This is the first episode where all three of the EDECMO boys are together–yeah! Today we talk about a bunch of PEA stuff. “Let me tell you, PEA is just a bunch of bullshit.” -Joe Bellezo aka Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 35:07 - 32.2MB)
