Podcast 769: Pressors After Cardiac Arrest

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
