Glad to see a new link in the chain-of-survival for recovery!

Epinephrine for non-shockable cardiac arrest Class IIa "reasonable to administer as soon as possible." Epinephrine for shockable cardiac arrest Class IIb "reasonable to administer after initial attempts at defibrillation have failed."

Alerting willing bystanders to nearby events that may require CPR or AED use through mobile phone technology is Class I.

Lidocaine and amiodarone are both Class IIb for VF/pVT "unresponsive to defibrillation."

"Either bag-mask ventilation or an advanced airway strategy may be considered during CPR for adult cardiac arrest in any setting depending on the situation and and skill set of the provider." Class IIb

TTM for adults who do not follow commands after ROSC from OHCA with any initial rhythm. Class I

Structured assessment for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and fatigue for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers. Class I
