POCUS in cardiac arrest: A simple (yet evidence-based) algorithm

I present the 4 major uses for POCUS in cardiac arrest & will incorporate evidence into a new POCUS cardiac arrest algorithm... and you don't even need to know how to use Doppler! Pseudo PEA vs true PEA:    • Approach to PEA Arrest from EM Cases Summi...   Cardiac arrest from PE, ~85% people have DVT https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10826... RV dilation occurs in cardiac arrest (i.e. the pig study) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28430... Incidence of occult VFib: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40012... REASON study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27693... PEA treated w/ epi drip: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28916... Pre-pause imaging: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34223...
