Amiodarone, Lidocaine, or Placebo in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.
BACKGROUND Antiarrhythmic drugs are used commonly in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest for shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia, but without proven survival benefit. METHODS In this randomized, double-blind trial, we compared parenteral amiodarone, lidocaine, and saline placebo, along with standard care, in adults who had nontraumatic out-of-hospital car...
متن کاملThe use of antiarrhythmic drugs for adult cardiac arrest: a systematic review.
AIMS In adult cardiac arrest, antiarrhythmic drugs are frequently utilized in acute management and legions of medical providers have memorized the dosage and timing of administration. However, data supporting their use is limited and is the focus of this comprehensive review. METHODS Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library (including Cochrane database for systematic reviews and Cochrane ...
متن کاملAmiodarone for resuscitation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Whether antiarrhythmic drugs improve the rate of successful resuscitation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has not been determined in randomized clinical trials. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of intravenous amiodarone in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Patients who had cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation (or pul...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic drugs in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: is there a place for potassium chloride?
In the March 2017 issue of Critical Care, Tagami et al. [1] emphasized that amiodarone, lidocaine, and nifekalant similarly improve survival at hospital admission for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients due to refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF). However, neither amiodarone nor lidocaine has been shown to improve long-term survival or neurologic recovery [2]. During resuscitatio...
متن کاملToward definitive trials and improved outcomes of cardiac arrest.
The survival rate from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has remained essentially unchanged in the United States for the past several decades, hovering in the 7% to 10% range overall.1 In communities with more frequent bystander performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), short emergency medical services response times, and hospitalbased hypothermia, there is significantly better survival,...
