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