Drugs, such as epinephrine, atropine, naloxone, and lidocaine can be given via the endotracheal route if IV access has not been obtained yet. The dose for epinephrine, rather than 1mg IV, should be 5mg endotracheally, followed by 5 to 10 mL of saline and several rapid breaths to aerosolize it into the lungs. ACLS currently recommends this approach, but there have been no studies showing benefit to this route of administration. I would recommend rapid IV access, and if no IV access if available within 90 seconds, placement if an intraosseous line should be attempted immediately afterwards and all medications given through that line. That is standard practice at many hospitals in this area as well as many EMS services.

Why is it important to defibrillate as soon as possible in cardiac arrest?
An AED is a device which uses an electrical shock to restart a heart that has failed during cardiac arrest. This device can be crucial, because when the heart stops beating during cardiac arrest, their blood also stops pumping, which can deprive the brain of oxygen and lead to serious brain damage should they survive. The faster the heart is restarted, the higher the chances of survival.

Is cardiac arrest painful?
No, because cardiac arrest is when the heart stops; so this means if someone goes into cardiac arrest, he/she will die (unless he/she is saved by medical care/help). You probably mean heart attack. The answer to your question (presuming you mean heart attack) is: Yes. The areas that are painful include: Chest (severe pain), left arm and jaw (note: not all these areas may be in pain during a heart attack). The difference between Heart Attack and Cardiac Arrest: Heart Attack: Occurs when there is a blockage in the coronary (main) arteries of the heart. Cardiac Arrest: Is when the heart stops suddenly.
