The Dirty Epi Drip and IV Flow Rates
Recently, I put out a video on the dirty epi drip (YouTube and TikTok) and in that video I discuss the use of this modality when in a pinch (i.e. can’t get push-dose pressors and/or a pump is not available …

Background: Epinephrine remains a staple in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, the optimal dose, timing, and route of administration are still unknown. Standard dosing of epinephrine is 1mg every 3 to 5 minutes via the intravenous …
Shock is defined as circulatory failure leading to decreased organ perfusion. In a shock state there is an inadequate delivery of oxygenated blood to tissues that results in end-organ dysfunction. Effective resuscitation includes rapid identification and correction of inadequate circulation. …
Background: Epinephrine (adrenaline) has been used in advanced life support in cardiac arrest since the early 1960s. Despite the routine recommendation for its use, evidence to support administration is less than ideal. Although it is clear from multiple observational studies …
Background: Epinephrine (adrenaline) remains a central part of management of OHCA in ACLS guidelines. Recent studies (i.e. PARAMEDIC-2) have raised concerns about the efficacy and possible deleterious effects of epinephrine on both overall survival and long-term neurological outcomes. Other observational trials have …
