AHA Guidelines Grading
Airway Management During CPR performed by providers trained in its use, the supraglottic airway is a reasonable alternative to bag-mask ventilation (Class IIa, LOE B) and endotracheal intubation (Class IIa, LOE A). For healthcare professionals trained in its use, the esophagealtracheal tube is an acceptable alternative to both bag-mask ventilation (Class IIa, LOE C) or endotracheal intubation (Class IIa, LOE A) for airway management in cardiac arrest. For healthcare professionals trained in its use, the laryngeal tube may be considered as an alternative to bag-mask ventilation (Class IIb, LOE C) or endotracheal intubation for airway management in cardiac arrest (Class IIb, LOE C). For healthcare professionals trained in its use, the laryngeal mask airway is an acceptable alternative to bagmask ventilation (Class IIa, LOE B) or endotracheal intubation (Class IIa, LOE C) for airway management in cardiac arrest.

ACLS Drugs It is reasonable to consider administering a 1 mg dose of IV/IO epinephrine every 3 to 5 minutes during adult cardiac arrest (Class IIb, LOE A). Amiodarone may be considered for VF or pulseless VT unresponsive to CPR, defibrillation, and a vasopressor therapy (Class IIb, LOE B). Lidocaine may be considered if amiodarone is not available (Class IIb, LOE B).

Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) CPR (ecpr) In settings where ecpr is readily available, it may be considered when the time without blood flow is brief and the condition leading to the cardiac arrest is reversible (e.g., accidental hypothermia drug intoxication) or amenable to heart transplantation (eg, myocarditis) or revascularization (e.g., acute myocardial infarction) (Class IIb, LOE C).

Intra-Arrest Hypothermia In summary, we recommend that comatose (ie, lack of meaningful response to verbal commands) adult patients with ROSC after out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest should be cooled to 32 C to 34 C (89.6 F to 93.2 F) for 12 to 24 hours (Class I, LOE B). Induced hypothermia also may be considered for comatose adult patients with ROSC after in-hospital cardiac arrest of any initial rhythm or after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with an initial rhythm of pulseless electric activity or asystole (Class IIb, LOE B).
