CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) (HB)

(This protocol applies only to normothermic patients with core temperature greater than 90 F, 32 C in cardiac arrest.)

1. Assess and treat according to standard CPR protocols.
2. If cardiac arrest persists continuously for over 30 minutes of sustained chest compressions and assisted ventilations, all treatment may be stopped.
3. If the patient recovers, support critical system function and arrange for transport to the hospital. Consider ALS intercept if possible.
