Question

You are the code team leader and arrive to find a patient with CPR in progress. On the next rhythm check, you see this (NSR). Team members tell you that the patient was well but reported chest discomfort and then collapsed. She has no pulse or respirations. Bag-mask ventilations are producing visible chest rise, and IO access has been stablished. Which intervention would be your next action?

-atropine 1 mg
-dopamine at 10-20 mcg/kg per minute
-epinephrine 1 mg
-intrubation and administration of 100% oxygen

Answer 1

The next intervention would be intrubation and administration of 100% oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

The next intervention in this situation would be intrubation and administration of 100% oxygen. Intrubation is the process of inserting a breathing tube into the patient's airway to ensure adequate oxygen supply. Administering 100% oxygen during this process helps to restore oxygen to the body and vital organs.
