    An 82-year-old male is brought to the ED in PEA arrest. He received 2 mg of epinephrine with EMS and did not have a shockable rhythm on transport. He has a past medical history of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, chronic renal disease and dyslipidemia. He had recently been started on ramipril. On rhythm check, the ECG shows a wide QRS complex with no ST elevation. Bedside ultrasound shows a hypokinetic left ventricle but no regional wall motion abnormalities. Which of the following is the most appropriate immediate treatment other than the ACLS algorithm?
