You and an EMT are performing CPR on an elderly woman in cardiac arrest as your paramedic partner prepares to intubate her. After the patient has been intubated and proper ET tube placement has been confirmed, you should:

A) perform asynchronous CPR while ventilating the patient at a rate of 8 to 10 breaths/min.
B) instruct the EMT-B to pause after 30 compressions so your partner can deliver two ventilations.
C) administer 2.5 mg of epinephrine via the ET tube and hyperventilate the patient to ensure drug dispersal.
D) direct your partner to deliver one breath every 3 to 5 seconds as the EMT-B continues chest compressions.

Answer: A) perform asynchronous CPR while ventilating the patient at a rate of 8 to 10 breaths/min.
