What is the difference between ALS and BLS Medical Care? In Advanced Life support (ALS) emergencies, a “single” paramedic or ER doctor can not deliver necessary care. And it becomes impossible to treat multi-system injuries, such as doing chest compression (CPR) while trying to open an airway or control bleeding.

The patient received 1 mg of epinephrine IV x2 with conversion of his rhythm to ventricular fibrillation (VF) for which he was defibrillated twice in the field. The patient is moved over to the stretcher and connected to the monitors and defibrillator. In our case, the patient had accidentally overdosed on drugs prior to being found.

He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. Some episodes of PMVT would terminate spontaneously — but on many occasions, the PMVT degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.

CPR is taken over by responding crews, and he is placed on a cardiac monitor/defibrillator. After several cycles of defibrillation, epinephrine, and amiodarone, the patient remains in cardiac arrest. Current AHA guidelines do not recommend routine use of calcium in cardiac arrest (Panchal, et al.,
