VAsopressin and STeroids in Addition to Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest - a Randomized Clinical Trial

"Vasopressin, the vasoconstrictive hypophysal hormone, alone has not shown increased survival when compared to adrenaline. However, animal data have shown increased diastolic pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure and cerebral oxygenation in cardiac arrest treatment with vasopressin, and have when compared to adrenaline been associated with better cerebral blood flow.~Corticosteroids are currently used in septic shock treatment as a means to reduce time to shock reversal and thereby potentially improving mortality. Steroids have therefore also been suggested for cardiac arrest treatment. The potential role in resuscitation includes the catecholaminerg potentiation, vasoconstriction and protection from reperfusion injury."
