| Acidosis||*Preexisting acidosis, DM, diarrhea, drugs and toxins, prolonged resuscitation, renal disease, shock||"*Reassess adequacy of oxygenation, and ventilation; reconfirm endotracheal-tube placement
|-
| *Hyperventilate

| *Consider intravenous bicarbonate if pH <7.20 after above actions have been taken"
|-
| Cardiac tamponade||Hemorrhagic diathesis, cancer, pericarditis, trauma, after cardiac surgery or MI||"*Give fluids; obtain bedside echocardiogram
|-
| *Perform pericardiocentesis. Immediate surgical intervention is appropriate if pericardiocentesis is unhelpful but cardiac tamponade is known or highly suspected."
|-
| Hypothermia||Alcohol abuse, burns, CNS  disease, debilitated or elderly patient, drowning, drugs and toxins, endocrine disease, history of exposure, homelessness, extensive skin disease, spinal cord disease, trauma||"*If severe (temperature <30°C), limit initial shocks for V-Fib or pulseless V-Tach to three; initiate active internal rewarming and cardiopulmonary support. Hold further resuscitation medications or shocks until core temperature is >30°C.
|-
| *If moderate (temperature 30-34°C), proceed with resuscitation (space medications at intervals greater than usual), actively rewarm truncal body areas"
