EMT-level practice emphasizes AHA BLS: high-quality CPR, AED use, airway adjuncts, and recognition of arrest. Paramedic-level practice adds AHA ACLS: rhythms, defibrillation energy, epi/amiodarone/lidocaine, cardioversion, ROSC care, and Hs/Ts.

EMT: CPR quality + AED. Paramedic: algorithm drugs + energy selection.
