asthma but does not carry an inhaler. He has nasal
flaring, severe suprasternal and intercostal retrac-
tions, and decreased air movement with prolonged
expiratory time and wheezing. You administer 100%
oxygen by a nonrebreathing mask. His SpO2 is 92%.
What medication do you prepare to give to this pa-

17. You are part of a team attempting to resuscitate a child amiodarone
with vfib cardiac arrest. You delivered 2 unsynchro- 5mg/kg IO
nized shocks. A team member established IO access,
so you give a dose of epi, 0.01mg/kg IO. At the next
rhythm check, persistent vfib is present. You adminis-
ter a 4 J/kg shock and resume CPR. What should be
administered next?

responds only to painful stimuli and has irreg- ic crystalloid
ular breathing, faint central pulses, bruises over
the abdomen, abdominal distention, and cyanosis.
Bag-mask ventilation with 100% oxygen is initiated.
The child's HR is 36 bpm. Peripheral pulses cannot be
palpated, and central pulses are barely palpable. The
cardiac monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-res-
