83% answer correctly
Following initiation of CPR and one shock for VF, this rhythm is present on the next rhythm check. A second shock is given and chest compressions are immediately resumed. An IV is in place and no drugs have been given. Bag-mask ventilations are producing visible chest rise. What is your next order?
administer 3 sequential (stacked) shocks at 200J (biphasic defibrillator)
prepare to give epinephrine 1 mg IV
administer 3 sequential (stacked) shocks at 360J (monophasic defibrillator)
perform endotracheal intubation; administer 100 % oxygen
prepare to give amiodarone 300 mg IV
