As reported within the 6th edition Manual of Emergency Airway Management, there are cardiac arrest rates between 1% and 4%, with other complications (mostly hypoxemia and hypotension) as high as 30% in patients with first-pass success [1, pg 29; 4-10]. Recommendations : 1. Why is Physiologic Optimization Important?

After several cycles of defibrillation, epinephrine, and amiodarone, the patient remains in cardiac arrest. This CI does include 1; and further and further analysis of the data showed that the likelihood that calcium has a beneficial effect (e.g. References: 1.

He underwent CPR, and regained a pulse after epinephrine, with an organized narrow complex rhythm at 140, but still with severe shock. Here they are: Learning Points: 1. The physicians found him to be in s hock, with very poor O2 saturations. He was intubated and then went pulseless. You diagnose Myo(peri-)carditis at your peril.

EMS found the patient pulseless and apneic, with an initial rhythm showing ventricular fibrillation (see figure 1). He was defibrillated twice and received two doses of epinephrine, with return of spontaneous circulation. Figure 1: The EMS rhythm strip. Type 3 is indicated by J point and ST elevation < 1 mm.

A 67-year-old man presents to the emergency department (ED) in cardiac arrest. Multiple attempts at defibrillation, epinephrine, and amiodarone have been unsuccessful. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest unfortunately occurs relatively commonly and emergency physicians must be equipped to diagnose and treat this rapidly.
