Vasopressor medications during cardiac arrest We recommend that epinephrine be administered for patients in cardiac arrest. It is reasonable to administer epinephrine 1 mg every 3 to 5 minutes for cardiac arrest. High-dose epinephrine is not recommended for routine use in cardiac arrest. COR 1, LOE B-R. COR 2a, LOE B-R.

Advanced cardiac life support protocol was initiated, and the patient was intubated. Traditional Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) medications, namely epinephrine, have been known to exacerbate coronary vasospasm.

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.,

[3] Supportive care includes: protecting the airway if necessary, supplemental oxygen if needed, and vasopressor support if the patient is hypotensive. 5,8] In one review the incidence of LAST was estimated to be 2.7

The patient received 1 mg of epinephrine IV x2 with conversion of his rhythm to ventricular fibrillation (VF) for which he was defibrillated twice in the field. He requires low-dose epinephrine to maintain his mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the 60s mmHg and is transported to the cardiothoracic (CT) ICU. doi: 10.1097/MAT.0000000000001518

For both groups, mean time to basic life support was determined to be one-minute, advanced life support started at 10 minutes, and time to ROSC at 25 minutes. Of the 939 patients enrolled, the majority, approximately 80%, in each group had a shockable rhythm on initial assessment and 75% had bystander CPR performed.
