Most emergency drugs except for amiodarone and succinylcholine are based on ideal body weight [Emergency Medical Services for Children, Luten 2007] Epinephrine, dopamine, fentanyl, ketamine based on what child should weigh.

EMS arrives on scene and initiates high quality basic lifesupport (BLS). As part of their protocol, they attempt vascular access to administer epinephrine and an antidysrhythmic.
2 Standard management for VT and VF involves the use of electrical defibrillation, high-quality chest compressions, and epinephrine. 5 More recent literature defines “refractory” as VT or VF that is persistent or recurrent despite three shocks from a defibrillator, three rounds of epinephrine, and use of an antiarrhythmic (i.e.,
Advanced cardiac lifesupport protocol was initiated, and the patient was intubated. Traditional Advanced Cardiovascular LifeSupport (ACLS) medications, namely epinephrine, have been known to exacerbate coronary vasospasm. References Prinzmetal M, Kennamer R, Merliss R, et al. Angina pectoris. N Engl J Med.
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. He requires low-dose epinephrine to maintain his mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the 60s mmHg and is transported to the cardiothoracic (CT) ICU. Carsten L, et al.
1,2] Consider using a physiological marker to help identify inadvertent vascular injection, such as epinephrine. [3] Supportive care includes: protecting the airway if necessary, supplemental oxygen if needed, and vasopressor support if the patient is hypotensive. 5,8] In one review the incidence of LAST was estimated to be 2.7
Background Despite conflicting literature to support some pharmacological therapies in out of hospital cardiac arrest, the American Heart Association (AHA) currently recommends obtaining vascular access intravenously or intraosseously in cardiac arrest. [1] 1] Table from Hamam et al. 9] Figure from Clemency et al. minutes). [5]
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., Calcium acts as a vasopressor and inotropic agent (Lindqwister, et al., He is found to be in ventricular fibrillation (VF).
Nielsen N, Wetterslev J, Cronberg T et al. By the time of the study by Nielsen et al. For both groups, mean time to basic lifesupport was determined to be one-minute, advanced lifesupport started at 10 minutes, and time to ROSC at 25 minutes. Kirkegaard H, Soreide E, de Haas, I et al.
He underwent CPR, and regained a pulse after epinephrine, with an organized narrow complex rhythm at 140, but still with severe shock. He was started on Extracorporeal LifeSupport ("VA ECMO") Here is the ECG on ECMO: Very low voltage On Day 3, the EF recovered (that seems quick!) 3–8 Shi et al. Angiogram was negative.
