At Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, our dedicated emergency team recently faced a challenging yet triumphant case of cardiac arrest. A 50-year-old patient was brought to our emergency room by the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services amidst ongoing CPR. The DCAS team had already performed CPR for 10 minutes, administered defibrillation twice due to occurrences of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and managed two episodes of seizure.

The patient was not conscious but was agitated, indicating a critical need for immediate intervention. Our emergency team swiftly moved to secure the airway, preparing the necessary medications for intubation. Suddenly, the patient experienced VF again. We delivered another defibrillation shock and proceeded with the intubation without delay, ensuring the airway was managed effectively.
