Question: 1 / 400

When can you administer epinephrine during a medical cardiac arrest?

No shocks delivered

Anaphylaxis suspected

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, also known as anaphylaxis. It can also be used during a medical cardiac arrest in cases where anaphylaxis is suspected.

The other options are incorrect because administering epinephrine during a cardiac arrest for reasons such as no shocks being delivered, altered level of awareness, or absence of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) will not be effective in treating the underlying issue. It is important to address the root cause and when anaphylaxis is suspected, administering epinephrine is a crucial step in saving a person's life.
