Bicarbonate is no longer used as the first line treatment during cardiopulmonary resuscitation following cardiac arrest. Recent evidence suggests little benefit, and the drug may actually be detrimental to resuscitation. According to the American Heart Association, bicarbonate is used when all other treatment options have failed. 

Among the antianaphylactic drugs, epinephrine (adrenaline) is the essential substance. In the acute treatment of the anaphylaxis in addition to the classical ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) rule for cardiopulmonary resuscitation [26, 27], one can apply the AAC rule (antigen off, adrenaline, cortisone) [18], Other drugs playing a role in the treatment of anaphylaxis include antihistamines (Hi-antagonists). 

All three officers got up from Burns at the same time. The supervising officer stated that Burns looked like anybody who was unconscious he saw nothing out of the ordinary. Several minutes had passed after application of the second hold (there was a dispute about how many holds had been applied), at which time the officers discovered that Burns was not breathing and applied cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Burns, however, was dead.

Patients with pulseless VT or VF (with or without associated myocardial ischemia) should be managed according to the American Heart Association s guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care (see Chap. 7). After successful resuscitation, antiarrhythmics should be continued until the patient s rhythm and overall status are stable. Long-term antiarrhythmics or ICD implantation may or may not be required. 

Cardiopulmonary arrest is the abrupt cessation of spontaneous and effective ventilation and circulation after a cardiac or respiratory event. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provides artificial ventilation and circulation until it is possible to provide advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) and reestablish spontaneous circulation.

If there is no apparent breathing, artifical resuscitation will be started immediately (mouth-to-mouth, or with mechanical resuscitator). The situation will dictate method of choice, e.g., contaminated face. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when facial contamination exists. When appropriate and trained personnel are available, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be necessary. 

The need for a rapid onset of action (and/or clearance) usually requires that an IV route be used, although at a certain stage of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (for example), the need for an even more rapid effect may require the use of an intracardiac injection. The required site of action may influence the choice of route of administration (e.g., certain radiopaque dyes are given intraarterially near the site being evaluated streptokinase is sometimes injected experimentally into the...
