Absolute bradycardia is defined as a pulse rate less than 60 bpm. During the patient assessment, it should be determined whether bradycardia-induced life-threatening signs and symptoms are present. Bradycardia can present itself in several different cardiac rhythms, including sinus bradycardia and varying degrees of atrioventricular heart blocks. Regardless of the rhythm, if the heart rate is too slow, and the patient has symptoms from the slow rate, then the bradycardia should be treated to increase the heart rate and improve perfusion. For a patient that is asymptomatic, care should be continued with close monitoring.

Absolute bradycardia is defined as a pulse rate less than 60 bpm. During the patient assessment, it should be determined whether bradycardia-induced life-threatening signs and symptoms are present.
Bradycardia can present itself in several different cardiac rhythms, including sinus bradycardia and varying degrees of atrioventricular heart blocks. Regardless of the rhythm, if the heart rate is too slow, and the patient has symptoms from the slow rate, then the bradycardia should be treated to increase the heart rate and improve perfusion.
For a patient that is asymptomatic, care should be continued with close monitoring. The primary treatment for symptomatic bradycardia includes the following:. Some patients may present with relative bradycardia. This is when the heart rate is over 60, but the patient presents with low blood pressure or a decreased level of consciousness.
These patients need the same interventions as patients with absolute bradycardia. Register today for online ACLS certification! Prev 1 of 1 Next. Subscribe to ProTrainings' Youtube Channel! Since the patient is conscious,. If the patient became unconscious or the atropine was ineffective, transcutaneous pacing would be appropriate. The pacer would be started at 60 beats per minute. Also, the milliamps should start at As the pacer is running, you would turn up the milliamps until the heart is captured.
When there is consistent capture, depending on the intervals of the machine, turn up the milliamps more to keep capture. Then the heart would be increased until sypmtoms improve. This is typically between bpm.
