How this exercise works
Drag ACLS interventions into the correct priority order for bradycardia, tachycardia, or arrest algorithms. Life-threatening rhythms get pacing, shock, or epinephrine before secondary steps.
Fundamental concept
Sequencing pacing, defibrillation, medications, and supportive care for bradycardia, tachycardia, and arrest rhythms.
Read: ACLS Cardiac Algorithm Prioritization →Scenario
PEA arrest during transport. CPR ongoing. EtCO₂ 12, distended neck veins, muffled heart sounds.
Drag items into priority order — highest priority at the top.
Available
Identify Beck triad suggesting cardiac tamponade
Treat other reversible H's and T's concurrently
Continue high-quality CPR and epinephrine per ACLS
Notify receiving facility of suspected tamponade
Rapid transport; pericardiocentesis if protocol and skills allow
