She received approximately 30 minutes of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) in the field without return of spontaneous circulation and was then transported to the BJH ED. Upon arrival at the emergency department, there were no signs of life and initial rhythm showed asystole. She received three additional rounds of ACLS, with bicarb, and calcium. Point of care ultrasound of the heart confirmed there was no cardiac activity.
