2• Maintain patent airway; assist breathing as needed.

Give oxygen.

Monitor ECG (identify rhythm), blood pressure, oximetry.

Establish I.V. access.

3

Signs or symptoms of poor perfusion caused by the bradycardia?

 

(For example, acute altered mental status, ongoing chest pain, hypotension, or other signs of shock.)

Reminders

If pulseless arrest develops, go to Pulseless Arrest Algorithm.

Search for and treat possible contributing factors, such as:

hypovolemia

hypoxia

hydrogen ion (acidosis)

hypokalemia/hyperkalemia

hypoglycemia

hypothermia

toxins

tamponade, cardiac

Poor perfusion

4 • Prepare for transcutaneous pacing; use without delay for high-degree block (type II second-degree block or third-degree atrioventricular block).

Consider atropine 0.5 mg I.V. while awaiting pacer. May repeat to a total dose of 3 mg. If ineffective, begin pacing.

Consider epinephrine (2 to 10 mcg/minute) or dopamine (2 to 10 mcg/kg/minute) infusion while awaiting pacer or if pacing ineffective.

5• Prepare for transvenous pacing.

Treat contributing causes.

Consider expert consultation.
