You are on the scene of a 40-year-old, 190-pound female patient in cardiac arrest. The husband states that the female has a history of asthma and is a one pack per day smoker. Her only medication is her Albuterol inhaler. She has no allergies. Her husband states she has been complaining of shortness of breath for 3 days. You and your partner have placed an oral airway, begun CPR, and have placed the AED on the patient. The patient's lung sounds are clear and you can auscultate them in all fields when your partner ventilates with a bag-valve mask. The AED says "no shock advised." An ALS unit is 25 minutes away. What is your next intervention?
A) Administer the patient's Albuterol inhaler with medical control consent.
B) Stop CPR and have the AED reanalyze the patient's rhythm.
C) Terminate efforts due to prolonged ALS arrival time.
D) Insert a Combitube with medical control consent.
