The Pharmacologic Management of Cardiac Arrest
2023, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaEffectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs for shockable cardiac arrest: A systematic review
2018, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :All but one observational study administered the intervention drug during CPR while one administered the drug immediately after ROSC. The time from cardiac arrest to first dose of the trial drug was reported in six studies [51–54,57,59] and ranged from 6 to 35 min. Additional information on the characteristics of included studies can be found in Supplemental File 2.
Antiarrhythmics in Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :A further dose of 150 mg may be given for recurrent or refractory VF/VT, followed by an infusion of 900 mg over 24 h. Lidocaine, 1 mg kg−1, may be used as an alternative if amiodarone is not available, but do not give lidocaine if amiodarone has been given already. The routine use of magnesium in cardiac arrest does not increase survival.287–291 and is not recommended in cardiac arrest unless torsades de pointes is suspected (see peri-arrest arrhythmias).
