During our recent ACLS training, we were told that epinephrine shouldn't be given right away during CPR if the patient is in VF/pulseless VT - but 2 cycles of defibrillations should be done before that?
I've been in situations where epi is given right away no matter the rhythm in ACLS, so I just wanted to ask what you guys do? Do you really avoid epi and wait for the defibrillator and just keep doing chest compressions during these situations???
