EMS LHP – E76 – One and Done Epinephrine
Manage episode 375533769 series 3496059
Y’all know I have thoughts on epinephrine in cardiac arrest. Perhaps you might have heard me say epinephrine “saves the heart at the expense of the brain.” I’ve also said I don’t have an issue with any epinephrine in arrest, just how we give it currently, and have wondered if less epi might do the trick. We reviewed the One and Done paper recently published from North Carolina that looks at this question.
