New PEA Algorithm (ACLS)

11/29/2016

Because the traditional "5H5T" or "6H6T" approach of PEA arrests is difficult to remember, a novel and easy-to-teach approach of PEA is recommended by using ECG monitor (determining QRS width) and POCUS (point of care ultrasound), as depicted in the above figure. This approach requires a skilled ultrasonographer and it should not interrupt high quality CPR.
