Educational Pearls:

  • Recent study assessed outcomes after ROSC with epinephrine vs. norepinephrine

    • Observational multicenter study from 2011-2018

    • 285 patients received epineprhine and 481 received norepinephrine

  • Epinephrine was associated with an increase in all-cause mortality (primary outcome)

    • Odds ratio 2.6; 95%CI 1.4-4.7; P = 0.002

    • Higher cardiovascular mortality (secondary outcome)

    • Higher proportion of unfavorable neurological outcome (secondary outcome)

  • Norepinephrine is the vasopressor of choice in post-cardiac arrest care
