2010 ACLS Guidelines

CPR Quality: Push hard (>2in) and fast (>100/min), allow for complete chest recoil, minimize interruptions, avoid excessive ventilation, rotate compressors q2min, 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio. If Advanced Airway: Do continuous compressions, 8-10 breaths/min Hs: Hypovolemia, Hypoxia, Hydrogen ion (acidosis), Hypokalemia, Hyperkalemia, Hypothermia Ts: Tension pneumothorax, Tamponade (cardiac), Toxins, Thrombosis (pulmonary), Thrombosis (coronary) More CPR Quality: If PETCO2 < 10mmHg, try to improve CPR quality. If diastolic intra-arterial pressure < 20mmHg, attempt to improve CPR quality.
