Prolonged CPR should be considered as outcomes are generally good, even if asystole is the presenting rhythm. Judicious fluid resuscitation is critical; patients may become volume-deplete due to fluid loss/oedema secondary to burns. Volume resuscitation in patients with high-voltage electrical injuries.

Targeted temperature management (TTM) for patients following cardiac arrest resuscitation has gone through several dosing iterations in the past two decades. 3,4 The Hyperion trial in 2019 demonstrated that TTM at 33 degrees Celsius was efficacious for non-shockable rhythms, reinforcing the guidelines recommendation for post-arrest TTM.

Background Because of their young age and lack of known comorbidities, paediatric patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) often undergo prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We aimed to determine the association between prehospital and in-hospital CPR duration and neurological outcomes.

During the resuscitation, she received amiodarone 450 mg IV, lidocaine 100 mg IV, and magnesium 6 g IV.
