Esmolol during cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduces neurological injury in a porcine model of cardiac arrest
Abstract Primary vasopressor efficacy of epinephrine during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is due to its α-adrenergic effects. However, epinephrine plays β1-adrenergic actions, which increasing myocardial oxygen consumption may lead to refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) and poor outcome....
