Is there a lower rate of recurrent cardiac arrest in patients who received norepinephrine versus epinephrine post-ROSC?
In this secondary analysis of the DOSE-VF Trial, one of the first RCTs assessing alternative defibrillation strategies in OHCA, the authors reviewed defibrillation files from the initial study to answer whether reduced time in VF between shocks could explain the ...
Background: The holy grail of outcomes in OHCA is survival with good neurologic outcome. The only interventions proven to increase this outcome are high quality CPR and defibrillation in shockable rhythms. Ventilation is also an important component of resuscitation in ...
Background: There are only two interventions that have been proven in the medical literature to improved outcomes in cardiac arrest: high-quality CPR and early defibrillation. Over the years, we as a scientific community have worked extensively to find other interventions ...
Background: Hypoxemia and hypoperfusion are important factors in outcomes after ROSC. While hypoxemia (SpO2 <90%) is clearly deleterious, it is unclear if hyperoxia is beneficial. Recent studies on patients requiring critical care have demonstrated that hyperoxia is harmful and instead ...
