A Comparison of the Combination of Epinephrine and Vasopressin with Lipid Emulsion in a Porcine Model of Asphyxial Cardiac Arrest After Intravenous Injection of Bupivacaine

Abstract

In this model of a bupivacaine-induced cardiac arrest, the vasopressor combination of vasopressin and epinephrine compared with lipid emulsion resulted in higher coronary perfusion pressure during CPR and survival rates.
