Could less than 1.0 mg be better dose of epinephrine?

Low Dose Epinephrine

• Not a randomized trial

• Cross overs from either group

• 3.4 mg vs 2.6 mg in VF/VT; 3.5 mg vs 2.8 mg in AS/PEA

Reducing the dose of epinephrine in OOH cardiac arrests does not affect ROSC, hospital discharge frequency or neurologic outcomes in

either shockable or non-shockable rhythms

Epi improves ROSC

Summary as of 8/20/18

Survival benefits unproven

Give early, not late

Give after second shock in VF

New Engl J Med 2018;379:711-21

• Large double blind placebo controlled trial

• 8,014 pts, UK EMS, adults ≥ 16 yo

• 4,015 pts, 1 mg epi Q 3-5 min

• 3,999 placebo receiving patients

What is the role of epinephrine in cardiac arrest?

The study evaluated 30 day outcomes and functional neurologic outcomes at

discharge and at 3 months

New Engl J Med 2018;379:711-21

Positive Result Conclusion

Epinephrine in OOHCA arrest improves ROSC and likelihood

for hospital discharge

Neutral Result Conclusion

Epinephrine does not improve neurologically intact survival

in OOHCA

Negative Result Conclusion

Epinephrine in OOHCA just increases the likelihood of being neurologically

devastated without significantly increasing the number of neurologically

intact survivors

Resus 2018;132:63-72

• 14 randomized trials; 8 observational studies

• 1 additional pediatric observational study

• 1,213 pts studied with Amiodarone vs placebo

• 987 pts Amiodarone vs Lidocaine

• 19,517 pts Lidocaine vs placebo

How effective are antiarrhythmics in VF/pVT arrests?

Antiarrhythmics vs PlaceboAmiodarone, Lidocaine, Magnesium

Resus 2018;132:63-72

No proven benefits of antiarrhythmic therapy in cardiac arrest due to shockable rhythms

in OHCA when measuring survival to hospital discharge and especially when

evaluating favorable neurologic outcomes and long term survival.

Do Antiarrhythmics Make A Difference?

Bicarbonate in CPR

Resuscitation 2017;119:63-9

How does bicarbonate administration during CPR affect outcome?

• 15,601 OOH cardiac arrests Vancouver

• 5,165 (37%) received IV bicarbonate

Bicarbonate in Cardiac ArrestsTake Homes

• Don’t routinely use

• Decreases survival and favorable neuro

• Generates CO2 and is hyperosmolar

• Use for pre-existing acidosis or OD(DKA, sepsis, methanol, EG, TCA)

• Great in Hyperkalemia

• 100,029 CPR patients, 349 hospitals

• 4,173 (4%) got D50W

• Compared D50 to no D50

• Looked at ROSC, discharge, neuro outcome

Critical Care 2015;19:160

Is glucose helpful or dangerous in cardiac arrest?

Do not use!

• Decreases survival to discharge ( 51%)

• Decreases neurological outcomes ( 67%)

• Has no benefits and is dangerous

Glucose is Bad in CPRUnless Patient Hypoglycemic

What do you do after 3 unsuccessful shocks?

We need to have a strategy for refractory VF

Resuscitation 2017;117:97-101

Is double sequential defibrillation (DSD) beneficial in refractory VF/pVT?

• 45 patients treated with DSD

• Retrospective observational study

• London Ambulance Service

• Compared to 175 who got standard defibrillation

• Only patients with ≥ 6 shocks compared

• 3 standard Ant-Lat defibrillations

• Anti-arrhythmic administration

• Atrial Fibrillation

• Benign Early Repolarization

• Beware most common false positives

• BBB and Poor Quality are our enemies in prehospital alerts

Anaphylaxis

True Definition of Anaphylaxis

• Reduced BP after exposure to known

• Acute onset of skin or mouth symptoms

• Involvement of 2 or more systems:– Skin– Mucous membranes– Respiratory– Cardiovascular– Gastrointestinal

The #1 cause of death in anaphylaxis is the failure to give epi in a timely manner

Prehosp Emerg Care 2018;22:452-6

• 471 anaphylaxis pts, NC database, 2010-13

• All patients had “allergic reactions”

• Anaphylaxis: either hypotension and/or respiratory distress

How often is epinephrine administered to patients < 18 yo with anaphylaxis?

Only 32.4% of patients received epinephrine

Age < 10 Epi use by almost 3x

Balanced Crystalloids vs NSSTake Homes

• Same cost, same color, same manufacturers

• NSS is hyperchloremic and acidotic

• LR (or Plasma-Lyte) appears safer in 29,000 pts

• I see no benefit to routine NSS

Love it s/p vomiting with dehydration

Epinephrine’s role still unclear

Summary

No routine bicarbonate in CPR

No routine D50 in CPR

Double Sequential??

ECPR if done early

SGAs are excellent

Summary

Bougies are great

Expertise in ETI takes time

Beware 100% O2

Time = Muscle

ECGs change

Summary

Anaphylaxis = Epi!

Magnesium is an adjunct in AF

Sniffed isopropyl for nausea
