adult ACLS:
epi infusion rate
2-10 mcg/min
Adult ACLS:
adenosine IV dose
6 mg rapid IV push
second dose: 12 mg
Adult ACLS:
amiodarone IV infusion dose
150 mg over 10 mins (repeat as needed if VT recurs)
maintenance infuison of 1 mg/min for first 6 hrs
If no advanced airway, what is the compression: ventilation ratio
