Cardiac arrest
◦ Checking airway, breathing and circulation
◦ Shockable: first provide shock, then CPR for 2 min
1) Start CPR
◦ No shock: CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) for 2 min, after
one cycle provide adrenaline 1mg immediately

2) Attach defibrillator/Monitor
3) Assess rhythm
◦ Shockable: ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation
