What is electrical activity without pulse?
Electrical activity without pulse (PEA) concerns a health condition in which the electrical activity or rhythm of the heart of a person is relatively normal, but the mechanical pumping effect of the heart does not respond. This lack of reaction results in cardiac arrest. The patient who has peas has no pulse, is unconscious, is in respiratory arrests, and is therefore clinically dead. Electrical activity is already intact with electrical activity without pulse, so there is no electric chaos that can be corrected by defibrillators. That is why automatic AED does not bring shock to the patient and the semi -automatic AED does not violate shock in such a case. Although normal electric rhythm is necessary to prevent cardiac arrest, the importance of heart muscle cannot be overlooked. The Al Al and the heart muscle must cooperate on the production of normal heart rhythms.
Causes of electrical activity without pulse almost always relate to pacEnt who has a serious and terminally ill heart that could be caused by a number of health problems, including cancer. Approximately four of each 10 patients in cardiac arrest suffer from one of the nasty rhythms, asystole or peas. Although AED has no use and there is little hope of reviving the patient, healthcare providers, especially emergency medical technology (EMT) and rescuers, resort to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the way to a medical facility where care can be transferred to a doctor.
CPR implementation is also everything a layman can do for someone who suffers from cardiac arrest caused by electrical activity without pulse until emergency medi.Cal services (EMS). The only time when CPR should not be carried out is if the person has no-no-resuscitate (DNR) order, which is a legal document that must be honored by laymen and healthcare providers. If the AED is not used or is not available to analyze the heart rhythm of someoneIn cardiac arrest, there is no way to find out whether the arrest has been caused by electrical activity without pulse or some other rhythm that could or may not be shocked. Therefore, it is important to perform CPR in the absence of a pulse.
