This current example illustrates what all of us who wear the physician’s mantle know: many choices in medicine are not easy. Should patients be required to undergo a treatment that will maim them in order to gain a few more years of life? Should patients have to bear pain because physicians fear the side effects of p...
متن کاملVasopressin in pediatric shock and cardiac arrest.
OBJECTIVE To review the physiology and the published literature on the role of vasopressin in shock in children. DATA SOURCE We searched MEDLINE (1966-2007), EMBASE (1980-2007), and the Cochrane Library, using the terms vasopressin, terlipressin, and shock and synonyms or related terms for relevant studies in pediatrics. We searched the online ISRCTN-Current Controlled Trials registry for ong...
متن کاملVasopressin, epinephrine, and corticosteroids for in-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Animal data on cardiac arrest showed improved long-term survival with combined vasopressin-epinephrine. In cardiac arrest, cortisol levels are relatively low during and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that combined vasopressin-epinephrine and corticosteroid supplementation during and after resuscitation may improve survival in refractory in-hospital cardiac arres...
متن کاملVasopressin for cardiac arrest: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
BACKGROUND Prior meta-analyses-reported results of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published between 1997 and 2004 failed to show any vasopressin-related benefit in cardiac arrest. Based on new RCT-data and a hypothesis of a potentially increased vasoconstricting efficacy of vasopressin, we sought to determine whether the cumulative, current evidence supports or refutes an overall and/or se...
متن کاملThe Aassociation between Pre-Cardiac Arrest Comorbidity and Unsuccessful Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Patients with Cardiac Arrest
Background and Objective: Patients suffering from cardiac arrest (CA) have poor prognosis and survival. The association of pre-arrest comorbidity with unsuccessful resuscitation in patients with CA is far from clear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between pre-existing comorbidity and unsuccessful resuscitation following CA in Iranian patients. Materials and Met...
