چکیده

CLINICAL QUESTION Is a vasopressin, steroid, and epinephrine (VSE) protocol for in-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation associated with better survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic outcome compared to epinephrine alone? Article chosen Mentzelopoulos S, Malachias S, Konstantopoulos D, et al. Vasopressin, steroids, and epinephrine and neurologically favorable survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest: a randomized clinical trial. JAMA 2013;310:270-9. OBJECTIVE To determine if a VSE protocol during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with hydrocortisone administration in patients with postresuscitative shock at 4 hours after return of spontaneous circulation would improve survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic outcome.

Survival with full neurologic recovery after prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation with a combination of vasopressin and epinephrine in pigs.

UNLABELLED We sought to determine the effects of a combination of vasopressin and epinephrine on neurologic recovery in comparison with epinephrine alone and saline placebo alone in an established porcine model of prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). After 4 min of cardiac arrest, followed by 3 min of basic life support CPR, 17 animals were randomly assigned to receive, every 5 min, e...

Vasopressin and epinephrine vs. epinephrine alone in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

BACKGROUND During the administration of advanced cardiac life support for resuscitation from cardiac arrest, a combination of vasopressin and epinephrine may be more effective than epinephrine or vasopressin alone, but evidence is insufficient to make clinical recommendations. METHODS In a multicenter study, we randomly assigned adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to receive successive...

بررسی مقایسه ای اثر وازوپرسین با اپی نفرین در پیامد بیماران ایست قلبی ریوی با ریتم آسیستول

Introduction & Objective: The most persistent rhythm in the treatment of cardiac arrest is asys-tole. In this situation, the survival is rare. The choice is epinephrine, and vasopressin is as an alternative drug. The study purpose is to compare the effects of vasopressin and epinephrine on the outcome of asystole rhythm. Materials & Methods: This clinical trial was performed on 210 patients w...

Developing a vasopressor combination in a pig model of adult asphyxial cardiac arrest.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vasopressin versus epinephrine, and both drugs combined, in a porcine model of simulated adult asphyxial cardiac arrest. METHODS AND RESULTS At approximately 7 minutes after the endotracheal tube had been clamped, cardiac arrest was present in 24 pigs and remained untreated for another 8 minutes. After 4 minutes of basic l...

Vasopressin, steroids, and epinephrine and neurologically favorable survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest: a randomized clinical trial.

IMPORTANCE Among patients with cardiac arrest, preliminary data have shown improved return of spontaneous circulation and survival to hospital discharge with the vasopressin-steroids-epinephrine (VSE) combination. OBJECTIVE To determine whether combined vasopressin-epinephrine during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and corticosteroid supplementation during and after CPR improve survival t...
