School nurses and paramedics revive 7 year old in cardiac arrest

I would do the same, I wanted to get other people's opinion. Its hard working airway stuff bouncing around in the back.

In this case, I would agree to get a patent airway established before loading unless I couldn't get it quickly. Then load and keep trying. For arrests scenarios in general, I initially work it where the patient lies first - meaning monitor/defib, airway, IV, first round of drugs then go.
