You abandon your coffee order and quickly head next-door, where you are able to start cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and direct a bystander to find the store’s automated external defibrillator (AED) while waiting for emergency medical services (EMS) to arrive. Unfortunately, most patients don’t receive these crucial interventions.

CPR is initiated and a hospital rapid response team is called. The resuscitation team arrives and ACLS protocols are continued. This contrasts with what the public sees watching CPR being done on TV. The issue of whether corticosteroids should be administered is brought up during the code.

They performed high-quality CPR and shocked the patient twice before giving amiodarone via intraosseous (IO). This has included the classic paper from Legend of EM Dr. Ian Stiell on BLS vs. ACLS ( SGEM#64 ), the use of mechanical CPR ( SGEM#136 ), and pre-hospital hypothermia ( SGEM#183 ).

For patients with OHCA, use of steroids during CPR is of uncertain benefit.

Whilst some patients may not be for CPR or intubation and ventilation, they may be appropriate for other treatment options offered in ITU, such as inotropes. Because she would not be for intubation, they discuss resuscitation status because, naturally, care during- and post-arrest would involve airway support.

12 minutes later, the patient went back into VFib arrest and underwent another 15 minutes of resuscitation followed by successful defibrillation and sustained ROSC. In total, he received approximately 40 minutes of CPR and 7 defibrillation attempts. The patient received therapeutic hypothermia at 33 degrees C for 24 hours.

In fact, 4000 paramedics in total were not only trained in the study protocol but also given a rigorous evaluation of their ability to perform CPR. On the topic of EMS and similar to the pilot study, there was an incredibly high amount of bystander CPR performed. Thus limiting the external validity of this paper’s findings.
