    This document outlines the CPR algorithm for an unresponsive, apneic patient. It describes the steps of CPR including compressions at a rate of 100-120 per minute and ventilations at a rate of 10 per minute. It then provides instructions for monitoring the patient with ECG and ETCO2. Based on the post-CPR ECG rhythm of Vfib, asystole, or PEA, it specifies actions such as continuing CPR, defibrillating, administering medications like epinephrine or atropine, and evaluating the patient.

    CPR Algorithm

    Unresponsive,  apneic  pa.ent  

    CPR  (1  cycle  =  2  minutes)  


    Compressions:  100-­‐120/min,  lateral,  1/3-­‐1/2  chest  width  
    Ven.late:  10/min,  VT  =  10ml/kg,  I-­‐Time  =  1sec  
    Ini.ate  Monitoring:  ECG  and  ETCO2  
    Post-­‐CPA  
    ROSC  
    Algorithm  
    Evaluate  Pa.ent  
    Check  ECG  

    Vfib   Asystole  /  PEA  

    •  ConBnue  CPR  while  charging  defibrillator   •  Resume  CPR  immediately  for  1  cycle  
    •  Give  1  shock   •  Low  dose  epinephrine  or  vasopressin  q  3-­‐5  mins  
    •  Resume  CPR  immediately  for  1  cycle   •  Consider  atropine  if  é  vagal  tone  

    Post-­‐CPA  
    ROSC  
    Algorithm

    •  Resume  CPR  immediately  for  1  cycle  


    •  ConBnue  CPR  while  charging  defibrillator  
    •  Low  dose  epinephrine  or  vasopressin  q  3-­‐5  mins  
    •  Give  1  shock  
    •  Consider  high  dose  epinephrine  aKer  10  mins  
    •  Resume  CPR  immediately  for  1  cycle  
    •  Consider  atropine  
    •  Give  epinephrine  or  vasopressin  q  3-­‐5  mins  
    •  Consider  amiodarone  or  lidocaine  if  refractory
