This recommendation is based upon the availability of PICU support, with lower fluid volumes and earlier vasoactive use being recommended, particularly if there are signs of fluid overload. Shock is defined as a type of circulatory failure where lack of oxygen leads to dysfunction of vital organs. This is beyond the scope of this blog post.

In Basic Life Support (BLS) emergencies, a single EMS provider can not deliver optimum care, such as when trying to hold direct pressure on a bleeding wound, while preparing bandages, to stop bleeding. In Advanced Life support (ALS) emergencies, a “single” paramedic or ER doctor can not deliver necessary care.

So be ready to perform and transmit 12-lead EKGs for basic life support units as well as those with advanced life support capabilities. Documenting 12-lead EKG in discrete data fields, such as under procedure or vital sign, rather than only in the free-text narrative can also help to ensure better monitoring and improvement initiatives.
