Asystole and Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA).
Action: Continue CPR for 2 minutes and prioritize Epinephrine. 4. Drug Therapy & Access
Used for shockable rhythms (VF/pVT) after the 3rd shock. Initial dose is 300mg, second dose is 150mg. 5. Reversible Causes (The H’s and T’s)
Hypovolemia, Hypoxia, Hydrogen ion (acidosis), Hypo/Hyperkalemia, Hypothermia.
Ensure the scene is safe and check for responsiveness (Tap and Shout).
Before moving to advanced techniques, the ALS algorithm begins with high-quality Basic Life Support.
Start chest compressions (30:2 ratio) at a rate of 100–120 bpm and a depth of 2–2.4 inches (5–6 cm). Minimize interruptions. 2. Advanced Airway & Oxygenation
