Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine and the David Geffen UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, Calif, USA.
Background: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction with a low cardiac index after successful CPR contributes to early death attributable to multiorgan failure, and an effective treatment has not been identified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of milrinone, a selective phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, as treatment for LV dysfunction after resuscitation.
Methods And Results: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced electrically in 32 swine.
