- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various vasopressors, like epinephrine and vasopressin, in patients who experienced cardiac arrest, focusing on clinical and mortality outcomes.
- The analysis included 26 studies and found that epinephrine significantly improved survival rates to hospital discharge and the return of spontaneous circulation compared to a placebo, but did not show advantages in other outcomes like short-term survival or neurological function.
- Combinations of vasopressors did not outperform epinephrine alone, though there was a slight improvement in survival to hospital admission with combined therapies.
With a global incidence of approximately 3.4% and an annual mortality rate of 3.7 million, cardiac arrhythmias (CAs) are a pressing global health issue.
