Critical Care Alert: Epinephrine v. Norepinephrine in Cardiac Arrest Patients with Post-Resuscitation Shock

5/14/2022 Brendan Innes, MD , Brian Sumner, MD , Taylor Miller, MD

Post-resuscitation shock occurs in 50-70% of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and this study provides evidence that norepinephrine is likely a preferable vasopressor to epinephrine in po
