PEA: pulseless electrical activity. But, when reading the article, it sounds like his body may have gone into hypovolemic shock. Long story short: When the body goes into systemic shock, it will vasoconstrict to pull all the blood to the vital organs, so your heart could still be beating but not have the pressure/volume to be able to detect a pulse.
