| prepare to give epinephrine 1 mg IV | |
| perform endotracheal intubation; administer 100 % oxygen | |
| administer 3 sequential (stacked) shocks at 360J (monophasic defibrillator) | |
| prepare to give amiodarone 300 mg IV | |
| administer 3 sequential (stacked) shocks at 200J (biphasic defibrillator) |
