†
The use of epinephrine during cardiac arrest has been advocated for decades
and forms an integral part of the published guidelines. Its efficacy is supported
by animal data, but human trial evidence is lacking. This is partly attributable to
disparities in trial methodology. Epinephrine’s pharmacologic and physiologic
effects include an increase in coronary perfusion pressure that is key to successful
resuscitation. One possible explanation for the lack of epinephrine’s demonstrated
efficacy in human trials of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the delay in its
administration. A potential solution may be intraosseus epinephrine, which can
be administered quicker. More importantly, it is the quality of the basic life
support, early and uninterrupted chest compressions, early defibrillation and
postresuscitation care that will provide the best chance of neurologically
intact survival.

Epinephrine administration has been advocated during resuscitation of cardiac arrest
for decades [1–5] . The 2005 guidelines by
both the American Heart Association and
the European Resuscitation Council recommend its use [6–8] . Surprisingly, definitive evidence for epinephrine’s efficacy in humans
is lacking. As with many components of the
Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
and Emergency Cardiac Care, its recommendation is largely based on tradition and its
success in animal models. Conflicting results
between animal and human research are due
to the disparate methodology and populations
studied, as well as the duration of untreated
and treated cardiac arrest prior to epinephrine
administration. The purpose of this article is
As early as 1906, Crile and Dolley noted the
importance of an adequate aortic diastolic pressure during attempted cardiac resuscitation [11] .
They stated that it often was not possible to
achieve an adequate aortic diastolic pressure
without the addition of epinephrine.
Since epinephrine has both inotropic and
chronotropic effects on the beating heart and
also produces peripheral vasoconstriction, there
was confusion regarding which of these effects
was the most important. Epinephrine increases
the peripheral vascular resistance, transiently
decreasing perfusion to most of the body, but in
the process increases the aortic diastolic pressure
and perfusion to the heart.
The classic studies of Pearson and Redding
performed in the 1960s merit emphasis [12–14] .

ABSTRACT
Background
Clinical trials have not shown a benefit of high doses of epinephrine in the management
of cardiac arrest. We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized study comparing repeated high
doses of epinephrine with repeated standard doses
in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Methods Adult patients who had cardiac arrest outside the hospital were enrolled if the cardiac rhythm
continued to be ventricular fibrillation despite the
administration of external electrical shocks, or if they
had asystole or pulseless electrical activity at the
time epinephrine was administered. We randomly
assigned 3327 patients to receive up to 15 high doses
(5 mg each) or standard doses (1 mg each) of epinephrine according to the current protocol for advanced cardiac life support.
Results In the high-dose group, 40.4 percent of
1677 patients had a return of spontaneous circulation,
as compared with 36.4 percent of 1650 patients in the
standard-dose group (P=0.02); 26.5 percent of the
patients in the high-dose group and 23.6 percent of
those in the standard-dose group survived to be admitted to the hospital (P=0.05); 2.3 percent of the patients in the high-dose group and 2.8 percent in the
standard-dose group survived to be discharged from
the hospital (P=0.34). There was no significant difference in neurologic status according to treatment
among those discharged. High-dose epinephrine improved the rate of successful resuscitation in patients
with asystole, but not in those with ventricular fibrillation.
Conclusions In our study, long-term survival after
cardiac arrest outside the hospital was no better with
repeated high doses of epinephrine than with repeated standard doses. (N Engl J Med 1998;339:1595-601.)
To pursue this question further, we conducted a
prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind
study to compare the efficacy of repeated 1-mg doses
of epinephrine with that of repeated 5-mg doses of epinephrine in adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
METHODS
The French and Belgian Emergency Medical Systems
Cardiac arrest occurring outside the hospital in France and Belgium is managed by the Service d’Aide Médicale Urgente.14,15
Each medical region has a dispatching center located in a major
hospital that controls several units, called Services Mobiles d’Urgence et de Réanimation, that are based in other hospitals within
the region. Each hospital is equipped with several ambulances
that carry a physician, a nurse, and a trained driver. The telephone
number is a national emergency number. Switchboard operators,
available 24 hours a day, receive all calls related to cardiac arrest
in the dispatching centers and forward them to the dispatching
physician, who decides whether to send out a team of emergency
medical technicians (who are members of the fire-department rescue services) and, at the same time, an ambulance staffed by the
medical team. Because of the greater numbers of emergency medical technicians, they are frequently closer to the patient and can
start basic life support before the arrival of the medical team. The
medical units provide advanced cardiac life support, according to
the American Heart Association guidelines adapted for Europe by
the European Resuscitation Council, until a return of spontaneous
circulation is observed on the scene or a decision is made by the
team physician to stop cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Study Design
The study was approved by the ethics committees of the university hospitals in Lyons and Brussels and by the Consultative Council
for the Protection of Persons Volunteering for Biomedical Research
of our institution; approval was valid for each of the participating
study centers. Waiver of informed consent was accepted by the
council because of the urgency of the situation of the subjects with
cardiac arrest and the lack of availability of family members.

PINEPHRINE remains the first-line adrenergic agent used for cardiac arrest, but the
dose remains controversial.1-3 Almost all experimental studies suggest that high-dose epinephrine is more effective than the currently recommended doses; higher doses increase myocardial and
cerebral blood flow and improve rates of survival in
animals.4-9 In contrast, with the exception of a recent
multinational study,10 multicenter clinical trials have

1. Introduction
Cardiac arrest occurring out of hospital is a significant public
health issue with an estimated incidence in the United States of
95.7 per 100,000 person years.1,2 The overall case fatality varies
across different emergency medical services, but is mostly in
excess of 90% and has improved little over the last three decades.2
The routine use of adrenaline (epinephrine) in treating cardiac
arrest has been recommended for over half a century, being first

described in 1906.3 The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) include adrenaline in their advanced life support
(ALS) resuscitation guidelines, despite there being no randomised
placebo-controlled trials in humans evaluating its efficacy in cardiac arrest.4 In 2010 ILCOR identified the need for randomised
clinical trials of vasopressor drugs in the treatment of cardiac
arrest.4
Animal studies have shown that adrenaline improves coronary
and cerebral perfusion.5 The survival outcomes in human studies (non randomised and observational) have been equivocal.6–9 A
meta-analysis of high dose versus standard dose adrenaline did not
include a comparison with no adrenaline and showed some benefit of high dose adrenaline on return of spontaneous circulation
(ROSC) but not survival to hospital discharge.10 In contrast, there
has been some concern regarding the potential harmful effects of
adrenaline on post cardiac arrest myocardial function and cerebral
microcirculation.11,12

Atropine Sulfate for Patients With Out-of-Hospital
Cardiac Arrest due to Asystole and
Pulseless Electrical Activity
The Survey of Survivors After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
in KANTO Area, Japan (SOS-KANTO) Study Group
Background: The 2005 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have recommended that administration of atropine can be considered for non-shockable rhythm, but there are insufficient data in humans.
•
• No debe ser utilizada de manera rutinaria
No mejora outcome neurológico
Methods and Results: The effects of atropine were assessed in 7,448 adults with non-shockable rhythm from
the SOS-KANTO study. The primary endpoint was a 30-day favorable neurological outcome after cardiac arrest.
In the 6,419 adults with asystole, the epinephrine with atropine group (n=1,378) had a significantly higher return
of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate than the epinephrine alone group (n=5,048) with an adjusted odds ratio
of 1.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4–1.7, P<0.0001), but the 2 groups had similar 30-day favorable neurological
outcome with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.6 (95%CI 0.2–1.7; P=0.37). In the 1,029 adults with pulseless electrical
activity (PEA), the 2 groups had similar rates of ROSC and 30-day favorable neurological outcome, and the epinephrine with atropine group had a significantly lower 30-day survival rate than the epinephrine alone group with
an adjusted odds ratio of 0.4 (95%CI 0.2–0.9, P=0.016).

Conclusions: Administration of atropine had no long-term neurological benefit in adults with out-of-hospital

ardiac arrest is a major public health problem in the
world. Recent guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care
have shown that basic CPR and early defibrillation are of
primary importance, and drug administration for advanced
cardiac life support (ALS) is of secondary importance during
cardiac arrest.1–3 There have been recent 2 clinical studies on
ALS in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. A multicenter, controlled clinical study by Stiel et al demonstrated
that standard ALS, which includes endotracheal intubation
and/or intravenous drug administration, does not improve

survival in humans. However, the use of atropine improves
short-term survival and is inexpensive and easy to administer.1 Literature to refute the use of atropine for asystole and
PEA is equally sparse and of limited quality.1 Asystole can
be precipitated or exacerbated by excessive vagal tone, and
administration of a vagolytic medication is consistent with a
physiologic approach.6 Moreover, recent CPR guidelines have
reported that administration of atropine remains a first line
drug for acute symptomatic bradycardia (Class 2a; weight of
evidence is in favorer of usefulness/efficacy). On the basis of
these findings, administration of atropine can be considered

determine the drug’s potential role in resuscitation.

(VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) cardiac arrests treated by emergency medical services
(EMS) in King County, Washington. Patients were considered eligible for procainamide if they received
more than three defibrillation shocks and intravenous (IV) bolus lidocaine. Four logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) describing the relationship
between procainamide and survival.
Results: Of the 665 eligible patients, 176 received procainamide, and 489 did not. On average, procainamide recipients received more shocks and pharmacologic interventions and had lengthier resuscitations. Adjusted for their clinical and resuscitation characteristics, procainamide recipients had a lower
likelihood of survival to hospital discharge (OR = 0.52; 95% CI = 0.36 to 0.75). Further adjustment for
receipt of other cardiac medications during resuscitation negated this apparent adverse association
(OR = 1.02; 95% CI = 0.66 to 1.57).
Conclusions: In this observational study of out-of-hospital VF and pulseless VT arrest, procainamide as
second-line antiarrhythmic treatment was not associated with survival in models attempting to best
account for confounding. The results suggest that procainamide, as administered in this investigation,
does not have a large impact on outcome, but cannot eliminate the possibility of a smaller, clinically relevant effect on survival.

Abstract
This study retrospectively analyzed the pattern of sodium bicarbonate (SB) use during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in
the Brain Resuscitation Clinical Trial III (BRCT III). BRCT III was a prospective clinical trial, which compared high-dose to
standard-dose epinephrine during CPR. SB use was left optional in the study protocol. Records of 2915 patients were reviewed.
Percentage, timing and dosage of SB administration were correlated with demographic and cardiac arrest variables and with times
from collapse to Basic Life Support, to Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and to the major interventions performed during
CPR. SB was administered in 54.5% of the resuscitations. The rate of SB use decreased with increasing patient age */primarily
reflecting shorter CPR attempts. Mean time intervals from arrest, from start of ACLS and from first epinephrine to administration
of the first SB were 299/16, 199/13, and 10.89/11.1 min, respectively. No correlation was found between the rate of SB use and the
pre-ACLS hypoxia times. On the other hand, a direct linear correlation was found between the rate of SB use and the duration of
ACLS. We conclude that when SB was used, the time from initiation of ACLS to administration of its first dose was long and severe
metabolic acidosis probably already existed at this point. Therefore, if SB is used, earlier administration may be considered.
Contrary to physiological rationale, clinical decisions regarding SB use did not seem to take into consideration the duration of preACLS hypoxia times. We suggest that guidelines for SB use during CPR should emphasize the importance of pre-ACLS hypoxia
time in contributing to metabolic acidosis and should be more specific in defining the duration of ‘protracted CPR or long
resuscitative efforts’, the most frequent indication for SB administration. # 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
