At first glance here are my initial thoughts on the new algorithm. 1. I personally find the arrows difficult to follow sometimes. I do appreciate the difficulty of looping things back to an event so it something that will take getting used to. 2. The start BLS box 2 full minutes doesn't lead my eye to the second BLS box but rather to the pause and check box which is telling me to make a rhythm diagnosis and palpate pulse but I haven't started ALS which would have me putting on the ECG, ETCO2, IV, Reversal. I really like the 1.0 color coding of the algorithm and found that people found it to lock into as they progressed from BLS to ALS. 3. Is the question about diluting amiodorone being addressed? Is it to be given undiluted as a bolus or diluted per drug instructions and given as a bolus or given over 15 minutes? All questions that continue to be asked. 4.I am assuming there will be a major drug chart update as well with doses for Esmlol. 5. And finally,I am curious about the bicarb since the patient is already very acidotic and bicarb breaks down into CO2 and water, is this considered a Hail Mary because of the potential that the acidosis may worsen? Again, incredible work and I am sure the final product will be outstanding. The quote I leave my students with “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Change is good! Keep up the good work!
