Hi, just finished Day #1 of 2 of ACLS today. Quick question while I review...
Say a conscious patient has ekg monitoring and is in stable bradycardia. Then, he becomes unresponsive and v-tach is on the ekg.
Do you go through the BLS check before you do the rest of the pulseless algorithm? So, do you take the time to check for breathing, give 2 rescue breaths and then check pulse?
Thanks
