Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a kind of irregular heart rhythm, leading to a malfunction of the heart. The electrical activity is too weak to make your heart pump. This causes the heart to stop working. Without medical attention, PEA can be highly dangerous. Keep exploring the blog to learn more about PEA treatment ACLS. […]
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is basically a condition that is characteristic of an abnormally fast heart rhythm originating above the heart’s ventricles. This rapid heart rate occurs because of abnormal electrical impulses in the heart, and it leads to a range of symptoms. These include palpitations, dizziness, chest discomfort, and shortness of breath. So, SVT can […]
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a dangerous, life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid, chaotic electrical impulses in the heart’s ventricles, leading to ineffective pumping of blood and sudden cardiac arrest. Understanding the various aspects of ventricular fibrillation is crucial for prompt recognition and intervention to improve patient outcomes. You can learn more about pediatric Vfib and […]
Heart rhythms are crucial components of the human heart. Among these rhythms, there are two specific types:’shockable’ ‘ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). These are abnormal heart rhythms that can be life-threatening when not addressed well. When a heart enters these rhythms, it may need an electrical ‘jolt’ or shock to help restore […]
In a successful team, each member knows and understands their roles and responsibilities and how they interact to accomplish the goal. Whether it is a work group, a sports team, or something as vital as an ACLS clinical team, outcomes depend on roles working well together. This dynamic does not come by accident, but with […]
SVT and VT are similar heart rhythm disorders but vary in their symptoms and occurrence. Heart rhythm faces several concerns on a daily basis, and it is crucial to understand its differences (SVT vs. VT) to know its characteristics and impact. Learn the differences between SVT and VT. What is the difference between SVT and […]
ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) and PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) are lifesaving certifications that help manage critical emergencies. While ACLS is administered mostly on adults, PALS as the name suggests caters to the pediatric population only. Over 13 million people in the US opt for lifesaving certifications every year. The training modules and courses […]
Online PALS certification helps healthcare providers with the skills to manage pediatric emergencies.

Asystole is a term that refers to the complete failure in cardiac function representing a critical state of cardiac arrest. It can be identified by the absence of detectable electrical activity in the heart. Asystole ECG is flatlined as the condition causes the cessation of heart contractions. The severity of the condition demands quick and […]
