Great info. Additional consideration for stroke: CTA head/neck to follow up initial head CT in the absence of a bleed. This is to diagnose emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) for possible mechanical thrombectomy to be done by neurointerventionalist (if available) via Interventional Radiology. Can be done in combination with rTPA/TNK.
I just got into rapid response nursing and I'm brushing up on all the algorithms as well as other critical care supplement. Thank you so much for the content.
I recently had a traumatic injury to my knee putting me out of work for 8 months. I return to work next week and I have been using your videos to shake off the rust and get my brain back into nurse mode! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future lessons. Although I'm not sure what I could have shown here? Was there something you were thinking?
Man i am struggling e the content, i dont seem to memorize it no matter how i try, i memorized the cardiac drugs eazy peazy but this algorisms dont seem to be much consequal relation to me.. and we dont give fibrinolytic in ER so why the heck would i do fibronolytic checklist in the ER ..
Thank you for your help! I’m studying for ACLS now that I am an outpatient recovery nurse. It’s so nice to have adjunct learning tools to the ACLS book for those us who have been out of school for some time.
Don’t give BB immediately after diagnosing stemi, studies showing benefit are from before the reperfusion era. Modern studies show essentially no benefit and increased risk. They need to be started within 24hrs but not in the acute management.
@@ICUAdvantage The direct link worked. Thank you! When clicked on the link in the description, the tab first appears, like it is going to bring you the webpage, then it just closes. Weird.
Infusion. It’s weight based. After you calculate how much you’re going to give over one hour you waste what you will not use from the bottle, give the bolus through the infusion, and then administer the drip over an hour
Well, it really depends. If it is during a code for PE, we give it push, but can be an infusion. We do infusions for other reasons such as stroke and ACS.
I passed! Thanks to your videos I could’ve taught that class by the time I got in. Can you please do a PALS? There are no good PALS videos like yours 😔
just found you, am prepping for ACLS. I work in a Critical Access hospital that has a small ICU that does not have critical patients a lot. So this is a great site for knowledge.

Wow, thanks so much Dave. Happy to hear this!
thank you for sharing
Absolutely my pleasure!
Nice
❤️❤️❤️🙏
Thanks Mimi!
I teach ACLS and I listen to your videos before class to prep. Thanks for putting these together!

Absolutely! Will probably talk about all that more in the future when I dive back in to some neuro topics! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry to hear about your injury but glad to hear you are making a return soon. Truly happy to be able to help!
I have the ACS and Stroke algorithms drilled in my head lol
Oh I bet being in the ED! I'm sure some other algorithms too!
your vids are SUPER helpful, thank you...and glad to hear there is now a website and quizzes. Great idea!
So great to hear this! And I agree! I think they are long overdue and happy I could finally get them going!
I really wish you can use more real images for the real treatment or machine. It will be more interesting
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future lessons. Although I'm not sure what I could have shown here? Was there something you were thinking?
@@ICUAdvantage I agree, though you could have in the tachy and brady algorithms
I have ACLS sims coming up and this was so helpful to prepare beforehand thank you for your hard work in putting these videos together!
You are very welcome! You'll have to let me know how ACLS went! Happy to be able to help
@@ICUAdvantage Passed it and got certified! Thanks again :)
ACS=M.O.N.A.
MORPHINE
OXYGEN
NITORGLYCERIN
ASAPIRIN
......but NOT always in that order! 😊
For stroke, what do you think about the VAN assessment for Large Vessel Occlusion? Helpful for EMS in rural setting?
I unfortunately am not familiar with this assessment!
Great information,due for my ACLS next week ..all your videos are proving so useful😃
Awesome to hear this! Well timed! :)

Great fast info , very helpful from Ronald Jones RN .
Glad to hear this! Thanks again Ronald!
stroke pathwy is 10 years old and doesent include mechanical thrombectomy
Really good made video! Thanks for your work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you and taking the time to leave a comment.
Shoutout to all the massively underpaid medics on here. We do PALS too….😮
You guys rock! I couldn't imagine some of what you guys do.
Thank you so much for the nice video
You continue to show & tell fabulous methods for learning and understanding !! Thank you !!
Happy to hear this Tara. Glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Great teaching Sir

Eddie you are the best 👩🏿⚕️!!!!
You are too kind!
Thanks for your video.
You are very welcome Martine! Glad you liked it :)
I couldn’t find your NIH stroke video you mentioned you would create. Can you add the link?
I haven't made it yet, but it is coming sooner than later!
Thank you for the time and effort you put in to these videos!! They are super helpful and I am so happy I found your channel. Thank you again!!
It's truly my pleasure to be able to help. Really glad you found the channel too! 😊
very educational, straight to the point and focuses on the most important parts
Really happy to read this. Glad you enjoyed it!
Helped a lot ,awesome video
well done
Thank you
Thank you! The link to the quiz does not work :-(
Hmmm... weird. It's working for me. What is it saying when you click it?
Here is the direct link: www.icuadvantage.com/quiz-acls-acs-stroke
@@ICUAdvantage The direct link worked. Thank you! When clicked on the link in the description, the tab first appears, like it is going to bring you the webpage, then it just closes. Weird.
@@ArinaThomsen Ohhh, I wonder if your browser was stopping it from opening in a new window? It opens up a new one for the link when you click it.
Question... How do you give TPA ?
IV push or infusion
Infusion. It’s weight based. After you calculate how much you’re going to give over one hour you waste what you will not use from the bottle, give the bolus through the infusion, and then administer the drip over an hour
@@nicolem4673 i saw some videos giving 10 percent of the tpa dose bolus and then the rest infusion. what do you advise?
@@alaahussain9677 yes so 10 % of the total treatment dose is the bolus. then the rest of the infusion over 1 hour.
@@nicolem4673 thank you i appreciate ittttt.
Well, it really depends. If it is during a code for PE, we give it push, but can be an infusion. We do infusions for other reasons such as stroke and ACS.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU HELPED ME PASS MY ACLS!! You made things so much easier!
Woohoo!!! Really happy to hear this and congrats on passing!
Very thorough. Thanks!
Thanks Tim!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you so much! Good review!
I like how consise you are. I like that you write it down for us. I also like your energy of giving the lesson.
Was just reviewing my stroke algorithm, can you make a video on NIH stroke scale by any chance? 😊🙏🏾
Got it on the todo list!
I passed! Thanks to your videos I could’ve taught that class by the time I got in. Can you please do a PALS? There are no good PALS videos like yours 😔
YAY!!! Way to go!
As for PALS, I just don't have any experience with peds....
Thank you so much for this video
I have ACLS exam in 2 days to pass and this is so useful to review! Thank you for doing it.
Good luck!
Thank you for these lessons they really did help me with ACLS.
Too complicated (I'm not ICU). Where is the stroke algorithm?
At 6:50 mins..
Excellent video thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos! I got my initial ACLS today and your videos helped me succeed. I appreciate your clarity and accuracy.
I regret that i did not watch your video before i attend the acls training🤦🏿
Next time 😉
What does ACS mean?
Acute coronary syndrome
Quick and easy Acls review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, very interesting and informative.
Appreciate that!
just found you, am prepping for ACLS. I work in a Critical Access hospital that has a small ICU that does not have critical patients a lot. So this is a great site for knowledge.
Glad to know you are finding the stuff here helpful!
@@ICUAdvantage you cover a lot that is "Greek" to me since we have IM only, but the drug reviews, vent reviews etc. are amazing, Thank you!
Great job sir.
Thank you!
CTICU interview today wish me luck
You got this!!!
@@ICUAdvantage super intense man i sat in front of a PCD and four veteran icu nurses
@@smivlibee5936 when do you find out??
I got the position
Good videos, illustrates the algorithm's in an easy to follow format. The quiz is super helpful!!
Thank you so much Patti!
Thank you. Would you please make a video on TPA administration and follow up ? You teach really good.
Look like you found it 😊
@@ICUAdvantage yes, I did and loved it. I work in the ER.
Thanks for this guys! God bless! :)
Truly my pleasure!
i wish if you were my professor.. much thanks
Glad you liked it Alaa!
