Clinical Protocols
Step-by-step clinical protocols for resuscitation, emergencies, and common inpatient and outpatient scenarios.
ACLS — VF/Pulseless VT
Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia resuscitation algorithmACLS — PEA
Pulseless electrical activity — organized rhythm without a pulseACLS — Asystole
Flatline rhythm — confirm and treat aggressively while searching for reversible causesACLS — Bradycardia
Symptomatic bradycardia management — atropine, pacing, and vasopressorsAtrial Fibrillation with RVR
Rapid ventricular response AF — rate control, rhythm control, and cardioversionAtrial Flutter
Atrial flutter management — cardioversion at lower energy, rate control often harder than AFSupraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
Narrow complex regular tachycardia — vagal maneuvers, adenosine, and cardioversionSepsis — 1-Hour Bundle
Surviving Sepsis Campaign 1-hour bundle for suspected sepsis and septic shockAnaphylaxis
Emergency management of anaphylaxis with epinephrine-first approachStatus Epilepticus
Time-critical stepwise approach to convulsive status epilepticus
