Green varieties, also known as âbroccoflowerâ, have a lime green head that retains the texture and density of a classic cauliflower head, but with the chlorophyll of broccoli. This blend between broccoli and cauliflower is more cauliflower than broccoli, with a sweeter flavor than both.eyond the obvious differences in color and taste, they also have very different growing habits. Broccoli grows upwards and outwards, forming bunches of tiny green florets. Cauliflower, on the other hand, is a dense, compact head formed from the undeveloped flower buds of a cabbage plant.
The primary decision point in the ACLS bradycardia algorithm is the determination of adequate perfusion. If the patient is adequately perfused, monitoring is indicated; if there are signs of poor perfusion, treatment is indicated, starting with the administration of atropine.
TREATMENTAsymptomatic Patients Can Wait The treatment of bradycardia depends on the stabil-ity of the patient. Signs and symptoms of inadequatetissue perfusion, including mental status changes, hypo-tension, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, indicateinstability. Prompt treatment is warranted in thesepatients (Box 12-2). In stable patients, the treatmentdepends on the etiology of the bradycardia. For stablesick sinus syndrome, the patient can be closely moni-tored for further decompensation. These patients usu-ally require permanent pacemaker placement by acardiologist in the cath lab.
