Basic life support
Basic life support (BLS) is a level of medical care which is used for patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries until they can be given full medical care by advanced life support providers (paramedics, nurses, physicians). It can be provided by trained medical personnel, such as emergency medical technicians, and by qualified bystanders. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) was formed in 1992 to coordinate the efforts of resuscitation worldwide.
Transcutaneous pacing
Transcutaneous pacing (TCP), also called external pacing, is a temporary means of pacing a patient's heart during a medical emergency. It should not be confused with defibrillation (used in more serious cases, in ventricular fibrillation and other shockable rhythms) using a manual or automatic defibrillator, though some newer defibrillators can do both, and pads and an electrical stimulus to the heart are used in transcutaneous pacing and defibrillation.
Procaïnamide
Le procaïnamide (spécialité : Pronestyl) est un antiarythmique de classe Ia dans la classification de Vaughan Williams utilisé pour le traitement médical des arythmies cardiaques. Dans le procaïnamide, le lien ester de la molécule de procaïne est remplacé par un lien amide. Le procaïnamide est métabolisé plus lentement que la procaïne. Il est employé en dentisterie comme anesthésique local.
