You are treating an elderly patient suffering a cardiac arrest. Bystanders immediately called 9-1-1 ...

You are treating an elderly patient suffering a cardiac arrest. Bystanders immediately called 9-1-1 and initiated CPR. You arrive within a few minutes and utilize an AED to deliver shocks as needed. You are requesting dispatch to have an ALS unit respond because:
A) The patient may need medications to support his cardiac rhythm and blood pressure following successful defibrillation.
B) All of the above.
C) In cases of refractory or recurrent ventricular fibrillation, the use of medications may increase the chances of defibrillating successfully.
D) Not all cardiac arrests are due to problems that respond to defibrillation.
