Vasopressin, Epinephrine & Steroids for Cardiac Arrest!

Vasopressin, Epi and Steroids for Cardiac Arrest !

Wow... for this first post. I have something very VERY important.

Just few days ago in JAMA, an article from researchers in Greece (out of all places) that may spin the wheel in the ACLS world. Combination of Epi, Vasopressin & Steroids for cardiac arrest. Patient who had the combo were more likely to leave the hospital with better neurological outcome. GREAT !

I am going for this in my next cardiac arrest case and then report back what happens.

Thanks to the Greek Gods of research !
