EMS Special Memorandum 26-003 Cardiac Arrest Management Modification
Coastal Valleys EMS Agency is issuing Special Memo # 26-003, which modifies the Cardiac Arrest Management Treatment Guideline to reflect an earlier consideration for endotracheal intubation during adult cardiac arrest.
Effective immediately, the guideline has been revised to allow consideration of endotracheal intubation after six (6) rounds of high-quality CPR, when clinically appropriate and when the procedure can be performed without compromising chest compression quality or other high-priority resuscitation interventions.
