in cardiac arrest when do you first after 2 rounds of CPR/shock
introduce medical intervention? after 2nd shock give 1 mg epinephrine every 3-5
which drug? minutes
when do you introduce amiodarone after the 3rd shock give 300 mg bolus of
during cardiac arrest? amiodarone
if second dose is needed give 150mg as second
dose
what rhythms are shockable in VF
cardiac arrest VT
what rhythms are not shockable in asystole
cardiac arrest PEA
if you are in an unshockable rhythm 1mg epi every 3-5 minutes after 1st round of CPR
arrest when do you give epi
, what do you do after return of maintain O2 sat at 94%
spontaneous circulation treat hypotension (fluids vasopressor)
12 lead EKG
if in coma consider hypothermia
if not in coma and ekg shows STEMI or AMI

what constitutes symptomatic hypotension
bradycardia altered mental status
signs of shock
chest pain
acute heart failure
how do you treat symptomatic 1. give 0.5mg atropine every 3-5 mins to max of
