Treating Non-Shockable Rhythms The non-shockable rhythms (asystole and pulseless electrical activity) are the most common primary arrest rhythms in dogs and cats. In Module 2, we will discuss diagnosing the arrest rhythm using ECG analysis, and how that rhythm diagnosis guides ALS therapy. We will also discuss vasopressor therapy as a mainstay of treatment, as well as parasympatholytic drugs and additional therapies for prolonged asystole and prolonged PEA. ECG Interpretation: ECG analysis ...

Describe treatment of dysrhythmias correct answer: To determine if treatment is necessary, assess the patient. Then ask the following questions: Is he or she experiencing signs and symptoms of decreased cardiac output? Is the dysrhythmia potentially life threatening? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, the patient will need to treatment for the dysrhythmia. ***WE WILL DISCUSS TREATMENTS OF DYSRHYTHMIAS BASED UPON CURRENT ACLS TREATMENT ALGORITHMS CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS ...
