hi everyone ,I am almost done with my paramedic program and will start pediatrics may 16 =) happy but nervous .I wanted to know if anyone has a cheat sheet or a web site as a reference so I can be better prepared for class .any help is greatly appreciated

my confusion is at what time during cpr is best to give drugs ?

ford example witnessed arrest you shock asap followed by 2 minutes of cpr you check a pulse and monitor and still in vfib you shock again and resume cpr in those two minutes do you have someone administer epi ? if so once epi is in and you reassess a pulse and still no pulse do you shock again...

my question is this when do you use the drugs for example .a witnessed arrest you shock quickly vs not witnessed you check a pulse no pulse you do cpr for two minutes 5 cycles 100 to 120 chest compressions new guidelines .when do you start using epi and when do you start using amio ? do you...

And sorry for the noob questions but just want to know

How far can you go if you don't cause a change in rhythm? My only issues are knowing what to start at and if I don't change the rhythm how much higher can I go .let's say I sync vtach at 100 than 200 than 300 and still no change will you resort to amio?150mg even if pt is unstable ?we're being...

For school purpose is what I mean or standard .for example what would you start for a vtach with a pulse and unstable ?afib what would you start and aflutter ?I know for svt we start at 50 and if it does not change we go to 100 and 200

we use a biphasic lifepak 15 monitor and we are starting to learn about sync pacing and defib .I wanted to know what joules to sync vtach with a pulse ,afib ,a flutter,and svt ?I tried to search online and found that svt you start and 50 joules and go up to 300? and vtach is 120 ? im sorry for...
