Epinephrine Administration in Lipid-Based Resuscitation in a Rat Model of Bupivacaine-Induced Cardiac Arrest

Abstract

In the rat model of bupivacaine-induced cardiac arrest, the optimal timing for the administration of epinephrine to produce best outcomes of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation is immediately after the completion of the lipid emulsion bolus. This optimal timing/therapeutic window is of paramount importance.
