| Core Tip |
Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is traditionally treated as a uniform non-shockable cardiac arrest rhythm. Yet, bedside ultrasound and perfusion monitoring increasingly reveal a subgroup with residual cardiac mechanical activity called PEA with cardiac mechanical activity. This review reframes PEA with cardiac mechanical activity as a low-flow arrest state rather than true electromechanical dissociation, summarizes prognostic and physiological evidence supporting this distinction, and highlights the limitations of rhythm-based resuscitation algorithms. We propose a structured, physiology-guided resuscitation strategy that integrates time-limited ultrasound with perfusion targets to guide treatment escalation while preserving the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. |
