MRCP2-0201

A previously healthy 85-year-old male patient is brought to the Emergency department after feeling unwell for some time. While waiting, he suddenly collapses and becomes unresponsive. He is quickly transferred to the resuscitation area where he is attached to a defibrillator, gains IV access, and has his airway secured. The monitor shows VF and he is given a shock. Despite continued chest compressions, he remains in VF after the second shock. What is the next immediate step in management according to current resuscitation guidelines?
