Overview

Pulseless electrical activity is the initial presenting rhythm in 19.6% of patients who are monitored at the onset of cardiac arrest and 16.5% of patients who present to a prehospital system in full cardiac arrest. [1]

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Pulseless electrical activity is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes. Life-threatening conditions can result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

Common causes of PEA include preceding respiratory failure in 40% to 50% of cases, and hypovolemia. The common causes of PEA can be remembered using the mnemonic "The Hs and Ts".[2][3][4]

As noted by repeated balloon inflations in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, transient occlusion of the coronary artery does not cause PEA.

Causes by Organ System
