Throughout the resuscitation, the team should look for and treat underlying causes:
Start chest compressions (30:2 ratio) at a rate of 100–120 bpm and a depth of 2–2.4 inches (5–6 cm). Minimize interruptions. 2. Advanced Airway & Oxygenation
Once the ALS team arrives, oxygenation becomes more structured. Provide 100% oxygen via a bag-valve mask (BVM).
