      • Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) or Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (VT):
        • Immediate defibrillation.
        • Follow with CPR if defibrillation is unsuccessful.
        • Administer epinephrine and antiarrhythmic medications as per ACLS guidelines.
      • Asystole or Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA):
        • Begin CPR immediately.
        • Administer epinephrine.
        • Identify and treat reversible causes (H’s and T’s).
      • Bradycardia with a pulse (severe, symptomatic):
        • Administer atropine.
        • If atropine is ineffective, consider transcutaneous pacing, dopamine infusion, or epinephrine infusion.
      • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) or other narrow complex tachycardias (if causing hemodynamic instability):
        • Synchronized cardioversion.
        • If stable but symptomatic, consider vagal maneuvers or adenosine.
