After 1 mg of epinephrine they achieved ROSC. Total prehospital meds were epinephrine 1 mg x 3, amiodarone 300 mg and 100 mL of 8.4% But cardiac arrest is a period of near zero flow in the coronary arteries and causes SEVERE ischemia. It also does not uniformly indicate severe coronary disease. sodium bicarbonate.

2 Standard management for VT and VF involves the use of electrical defibrillation, high-quality chest compressions, and epinephrine. 5 More recent literature defines “refractory” as VT or VF that is persistent or recurrent despite three shocks from a defibrillator, three rounds of epinephrine, and use of an antiarrhythmic (i.e.,

It shows a proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally occluded LMCA ( Left Main Coronary Artery ). Epinephrine infusion was begun. Upon contrast injection of the LMCA, the patient deteriorated, as the LMCA was severely diseased and flow to all coronary arteries ( LAD, LCx and RCA ) was compromised.

In the ED he received methylprednisolone, diphenhydramine, and epinephrine for possible anaphylaxis. Shortly after receiving epinephrine, the patient developed new leg cramps and chest pain. Meyers — No definitive explanation for the marked ST segment deviation seen in ECG #1 was determined.

Fine ventricular fibrillation She received 2 mg epinephrine, 150 mg amiodarone and underwent chest compressions with the LUCAS device. The patient was taken for an angiogram and had an 80% LAD lesion, but it could not be definitely determined whether this was an acute thrombotic lesion or a chronic stable lesion. It was stented.

With ventilations and epinephrine, she regained a pulse. Rather it is due to coronary insufficiency due to a tight left main or 3-vessel disease with inadequate coronary flow. A middle-age woman with h/o hypertension was found down by her husband. She was never seen to be in ventricular fibrillation and was never defibrillated.

She was given 3 mg IV epinephrine and multiple rounds of ACLS over approximately 20 minutes. This is commonly found after epinephrine for cardiac arrest, but could have been pre-existing and a possible contributing factor to cardiac arrest. The ultimate reason for the long QT was never definitively determined.
