Flat-line question

by Marcia

 

When treating a patient in the field and a patient's heart stops (heart attack) after first exhibiting irregular heartbeat and bradycardia, then goes flat-line after defibrillation, what is the procedure for administering a drug directly into the patient's heart? Is the drug epinephrine or something else? What size is the dosage for an adult male?

Thanks!
