You are summoned to the resuscitation room to assist with a 68-year-old patient who has experienced cardiac arrest. The team has initiated the initial round of chest compressions and has connected the monitoring equipment. You propose a brief pause in chest compressions to assess if the rhythm is suitable for defibrillation. The patient’s rhythm is indeed defibrillated. However, despite administering three successive shocks, there is no spontaneous return of circulation. What are the two appropriate medications to administer now, and what are their respective doses?
