When considering the treatment of VF/VT:

Feedback
That’s partly right.
Reduction of the pre and post shock pause can influence the likelihood of success, because interruptions longer than 5 seconds reduce the chance of a shock restoring a spontaneous circulation. If it was considered appropriate to start resuscitation, it is usually worthwhile continuing whilst VF persists.
Pulse checks should be performed only when organised electrical activity compatible with a pulse is seen. Once given, adrenaline should be repeated every 3-5 minutes, irrespective of cardiac arrest rhythm.
