S
Continuously identify patient’s rhythm and record vital signs as appropriate to rhythm.
(VS’s are to reflect the patient’s in the absence of compressions), Use other for PEA,
Bradycardia, etc, New time=New line!
5. Pulse present? Record this every time!
Chest Compressions? Record every time!
6. Document interventions (defibrillation, cardioversion, pacing) with energy settings
(loules or MA). Remember: new timne=new line!
© Document rhythm prior to and following electrical intervention, every time.
* Check monophasic vs. biphasic Zoll, & internal vs. external Pacer.
~
. Document medication boluses and drips with dosage and route, i.e. Img IVP/ET/IO.
Remember: New time=New Line!

. Witnessed: Check yes, only if you were in the room when patient became unresponsive.
9. Co-morbid conditions pre-arrest: Document patient’s pre-arrest state and any
significant history.
10. Interventions already in place at time of arrest: Check off all interventions already
in place prior to arrest.
