Podcast 769: Pressors After Cardiac Arrest

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

Hypotension after cardiac arrest often requires a vasopressor to improve blood pressure
Recent observational study from France examined outcomes of patients who received either epinephrine or norepinephrine for post-resuscitation shock
Norepinephrine had significantly better outcomes

Death from shock was 35% in the epinephrine group vs. 9% in the norepinephrine group
Recurrent cardiac arrest was 9% in epinephrine group vs. 3% in norepinephrine group

For epinephrine:

The all cause mortality was 2.5 times higher than norepinephrine
Cardiovascular mortality was 5 times higher than norepinephrine
Favorable neurological outcomes was 3 times worse than norepinephrine
