i am a real paramedic and you may check the HPC register if you are polite enough to PM for my details. I would suggest you erred what I wrote too.
I am aware that you do not shock asystole (rarely flat-line in the true sense of the words - but you know that of course?), but given the poster's gross misunderstanding already I didn't think going into specific cardiac rhythms was appropriate.
