Remote pulseless VT — DipIMC MCQ

Correct answer: C — Continue ALS on scene until safe evacuation with ongoing resuscitation is possible

Option C is correct because Remote arrest care balances early ALS and defibrillation with safe packaging for evacuation. Option E is less appropriate because the clinical risk exceeds that destination or timeframe; option B is less appropriate because pre-alert is needed to mobilise the correct receiving team. Option D is less appropriate because watchful waiting risks deterioration or delays definitive care; option A is less appropriate because unmonitored private transport is unsafe for this risk profile. Clinical pearl: in DipIMC-style questions, the best answer is the intervention that changes outcome earliest in the pre-hospital phase.
