2 Standard management for VT and VF involves the use of electrical defibrillation, high-quality chest compressions, and epinephrine. Initial guidelines defined “refractory” as VT or VF occurring despite three shocks from a cardiac defibrillator. Tips for use of dual sequence defibrillation 11 : Use the same model of defibrillator.

I recerted CPR, ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) late in December. For all the fancy changes over the year, the bottom line has always been to provide good CPR compressions and timely defibrillation. Pediatric defibrillation doses should be 2j/kg, 4j/kg.
