What is the algothim for advanced life support for adult |
Start CPR 30:2 minimise disruption
Attach AED
Assess Rhythm
If shockable => Continue CPR => Shock with 200 J => Adrenaline 1 mg after 2nd shock => Amiodarone 300 mg after 3rd shock attempt
If not shockable => Continue CPR => Adrenaline every 2nd cycle

What is the algothim for advanced life support for children |
Start CPR 2:15:2 minimise disruption
Attach AED
Assess Rhythm
If shockable => Continue CPR => Shock with 4J per kg => Adrenaline 10 mcg per kg after 2nd shock => Amiodarone 5 mg per kg after 3rd shock attempt
If not shockable => Continue CPR => Adrenaline 10 mcg/kg every 2nd cycle |
