Essential guide to the four primary ECG rhythms in cardiac arrest, aligned with ACLS protocols. Shockable Rhythms · VF: Chaotic, disorganized electrical activity. → Defibrillate. · Pulseless VT: Wide-complex tachycardia (>150 bpm). → Defibrillate. Non-Shockable Rhythms · PEA: Organized ECG rhythm without a pulse. → CPR Find Cause. · Asystole: Absence of electrical activity (confirm in ≥2 leads). → CPR Epinephrine. #ACLS #CardiacArrest #ECG #MedEd #cardiology | Abdallah Othman
