Manage episode 401048870 series 3289457
Patients with a heart rate less than 60 are bradycardic. Some people can have a resting heart rate in the 40s without any compromise. For others, a heart rate of 50 or less could signify the need for immediate intervention and warrants additional assessment.
Signs & symptoms that indicate a bradycardic patient is unstable.
Monitoring oxygen saturation with pulse oximetry and indications for administration of oxygen.
Calcium channel blockers and beta blocker medication as treatable causes of bradycardia.
The indications and dosage of Atropine.
Precautions for Atropine use in patients with second or third degree AV blocks.
The use of transcutaneous pacing (TCP) for unstable bradycardic patients refractory to Atropine.
The use and dosing of Dopamine and Epinephrine drips.
