Measure from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the mandible, B. Its vitally important that the resuscitation A dose of 1 mg IV/IO should be given and repeated every 3 to 5 minutes. Continuous posi. For example, after verifying a shockable rhythm and initiating the charging sequence on the defibrillator, another provider should resume chest compressions and continue until the defibrillator is fully charged. This team member is in charge of all vascular duties, including: The time recorder is responsible for keeping a rolling record of time for: The time recorder also announces to the team when/if a next treatment or more medication is due. The AHA recommends using quantitative waveform capnography in intubated patients to monitor CPR quality, optimize chest compressions, and detect return of spontaneous circulation during chest compressions. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. Alert the hospital Prearrival notification allows the hospital to prepare to evaluate and manage the patient effectively.
