You are dispatched to an unconscious hemodialysis patient. On arrival to the dialysis clinic, the patient is unresponsive, apneic, and pulseless. You secure the ABCs, begin ventilation, and initiate chest compressions. However, the patient's cardiac arrest rhythm is continuously unresponsive to defibrillations with your AED. The best approach is to:

A) begin transporting and contact an ALS intercept. The patient's dysrhythmia may be related to kidney failure. B) continue defibrillating as the monitor recommends. The myocardium becomes increasingly responsive to successive defibrillations. C) call online medical control to terminate the code. The probability of survival is too low to continue resuscitation efforts. D) run a "no-electricity" code in which compressions and ventilation are continued. No additional defibrillations are necessary.

A 24-year-old man has called 911 after experiencing heart palpitations and dizziness. You direct your partner to apply a 4-lead ECG and see a narrow complex tachycardia on the monitor at a rate of 196 bpm. The patient is wearing a halter monitor and states, "My doctor is making me wear this because I keep having these episodes." How should you handle the presence of the halter monitor?

A) Leave it in place and alter your treatment so as not to disturb the monitor. B) Remove the monitor and treat the patient per protocol. C) Leave the monitor on and delay treatment until you arrive at the ED. D) Contact the hospital for medical direction.
