Make assessments using the DRS ABCD method briskly. Assess breathing for no more than 10 seconds.
Signs of life, no spontaneous movement, breathing, palpating of a pulse.

100-120 beats per minute.
1/3 the death of the chest.
2 finger technique in infants.
It is important during CPR to let the chest recoil completely to let blood flow through heart for perfusion.
10mcg/kg adrenaline given every 4 intervals (every 2nd loop)
Note: Hypoxia and/or hypovolemic shoc due to anaphylaxis may cause cardiac arrest. Treat by removing and managing toxins causing the anaphylaxis
