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. Cardiac arrest secondary to myocardial ischemia from coronary vasospasm is well documented.

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.

I recerted CPR, ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) late in December. The pediatric epinephrine and norepinephrine infusion rates have been lowered to 0.1-0.5 AEMTs may administer epinephrine IV in cardiac arrest.* The certs are good for two years. 6j/kg and 8j/kg.

Background Despite conflicting literature to support some pharmacological therapies in out of hospital cardiac arrest, the American Heart Association (AHA) currently recommends obtaining vascular access intravenously or intraosseously in cardiac arrest. [1] Or in other words, is IO access inferior to IV access? minutes versus 5.4 minutes). [5]

After several cycles of defibrillation, epinephrine, and amiodarone, the patient remains in cardiac arrest. While this study can still only prove correlation, the weighting of variables reduces bias and further supports the association of the calcium alone and the decline in outcomes (Cashen, et al., mEq/L (OR: 51.11; 95% CI: 3.12−1639.16;

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. Enrollees were then assigned to either TTM of 33ºC or 36ºC for 36 hours. Time to TTM was statistically significantly shorter in the IC group (2.2

He underwent CPR, and regained a pulse after epinephrine, with an organized narrow complex rhythm at 140, but still with severe shock. He was started on Extracorporeal Life Support ("VA ECMO") Here is the ECG on ECMO: Very low voltage On Day 3, the EF recovered (that seems quick!) He was intubated and then went pulseless.
