Explanation:

In cases of persistent ventricular fibrillation after CPR, amiodarone 300 mg IV is a recommended anti - arrhythmic medication. Epinephrine is typically given in a lower standard dose for cardiac arrest situations and procainamide is not the first - line for this scenario. Amiodarone 150 mg IV is usually for subsequent doses or in different arrhythmia management.

Amiodarone 300 mg IV
