V-Fib and Pulseless V-Tach (Shockable)
- Shock as quickly as possible and resume CPR immediately after shocking
- Biphasic - 200J
- Monophasic - 360 J
- Give Epi 1mg if (shock + 2min of CPR) fails to convert the rhythm
- Give antiarrhythmic if (2nd shock + 2min of CPR) again fails
- 1st line: Amiodarone 300mg IVP with repeat dose of 150mg as indicated
- 2nd line: Lidocaine 1-1.5mg/kg then 0.5-0.75mg/kg q5-10min

Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation
A patient is considered refractory after ≥3 defib, ≥3mg epinephrine, and 300mg amiodarone
DSED[2] & Esmolol for Failure of Standard ACLS[3]
- Place a second set of defib pads in an alternative location on the chest
- Continue CPR
- Deliver 200J (or 360J if monophasic) simultaneously from both defibrillators
- Continue CPR
- Give Esmolol bolus at 0.5mg/kg and start drip at 0.1mg/kg
- Deliver 200J (or 360J if monophasic) simultaneously from both defibrillators
- Continue CPR
Consider holding further epinephrine (The Current State of Refractory VF)
Fibrinolytics
Dosing
- Alteplase 0.6mg/kg IV push x1 given over 15 min (± heparin 5000 unit bolus), and then repeated 30 min after if still no ROSC[4]
- Heparin may be bolused with tPA or after ROSC obtained
- Max doses of 50mg may be as efficacious as 100mg
- Consider at least 20min of CPR after last dose of tPA before ending code
Guidelines and Recommendations
- ACLS 2010 does not yet recommend routine thrombolytics (Class III)
- CHEST 2012 and ACLS 2010 recommends in acute PE or high suspicion[5]
- Class IIc and Class IIa, respectively
- 2 hr infusion time recommended over long, 24hr (CHEST Class IIc)
