Table 2. Selected innovations mentioned in the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines used for video evaluation.
| Selected innovations from the 2020 AHA guidelines | |
|---|---|
| (1) | Rapid initiation of CPR for individuals suspected of cardiac arrest (low risk of harm due to chest compressions) |
| (2) | Early administration of epinephrine in non-shockable rhythms |
| (3) | Administration of epinephrine if the first defibrillation attempt is unsuccessful in shockable rhythms |
| (4) | Use of auditory-visual devices is beneficial |
| (5) | ETCO2 > 10 mmHg |
| (6) | Dual sequential defibrillation is not beneficial |
| (7) | IV route is the primary route for drug administration; if IV access fails or is inappropriate, IO should be attempted |
| (8) | Administration of IM or IN naloxone |
