"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

Identification of Second-Degree AV Blocks and Their Treatment 7:26

منذ 5 أيام7:26

7:26

To pass the written ACLS exam and mega code, students need to be able to identify basic ECG dysrhythmias, including the two types of second-degree heart block. One method of ECG rhythm identification is to ask a series of questions such as: What's the rate (<60, 60-100, 101-149, or >150); Is the rhythm regular or irregular; What's the shape, width, and frequency of P waves and QRS complexes; and What's the P-R interval and is it constant? ECG characteristics of a second-degree Mobitz type I (Wenckebach). Identification of unstable bradycardia and its treatment with Atropine. ECG characteristics of a second-degree Mobitz type II. Possible effect of using Atropine on patients with a second-degree type II AV block. Treatment of unstable bradycardic patients refractory to Atropine using TCP, Dopamine, or Epinephrine drip.

6:40

Along with early defibrillation, high quality CPR with minimal interruptions is one of the two factors that has been shown to improve cardiac arrest outcomes. How do we know if high quality, effective CPR is being performed? Objective measures of high-quality CPR include: Compression rate; Compression depth & recoil; ETCO2; and Chest Compression Fraction (CCF). The role of the CPR Coach on the code team. The advantages and use of real-time feedback devices to monitor the rate, depth, and chest recoil of CPR compressions. The use of end tidal waveform capnography.

Oropharyngeal Airway (OPA) Review 6:06

منذ 11 يومًا6:06

6:06

The tongue is the most common airway obstruction in an unconscious patient. Insertion an oropharyngeal airway helps keep the patient’s tongue from falling to the back of the pharynx, causing an airway obstruction. The oropharyngeal airway is sometimes called an OPA or simply an oral airway. Indications for using an oral airway. Contraindication for an oral airway and an alternative airway that can be used for patients with an intact gag reflex. Measuring an OPA and possible complications from inserting one that's too small or too large. Two techniques to properly insert an OPA. The use of an oral airway during CPR.

Hypoxia: An H&T Reversible Cause of Cardiac Arrest 5:51

منذ 12 يومًا5:51

5:51

Hypoxia is a state of low oxygen levels in the blood. Determining hypoxia using a pulse oximeter or arterial blood gasses (ABGs). A goal of ACLS is to recognize signs of hypoxia and provide timely treatment to prevent an arrest . Examples of some things that might lead us to think of hypoxia as a cause of cardiac arrest. Why we should not rely on pulse ox to give accurate readings during CPR. Delivering ventilations with near 100% oxygen concentration using a BVM attached to supplemental O2 and a reservoir. Using end tidal waveform capnography to assess the quality of CPR. Changes to ventilation rates, tidal volume, and O2 concentration affects a patient's oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH. The danger of excessive ventilation of a patient in cardiac arrest. Good luck with your ACLS class!

The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same: 1. preparedness & recognition of an emergency; 2. activation of EMS; 3. delivery of Advanced Life Support; and 4. transporting to the most appropriate facility. ALS ambulances are staffed with paramedics who have training in ACLS skills. Why EMS "Destination Protocols" for suspected stroke and STEMI make a difference. ACLS’s timed benchmarks for: point of first medical contact to PCI for ST elevation MI; door to tPA for ischemic stroke; and onset of symptoms to EVT for LVO strokes. Why EMS should bypass a close hospital to transport a STEMI or suspected stroke patient to a hospital capable of 24/7 PCI or a certified stroke center.
