Impact of Intracoronary Versus Intravenous Epinephrine Administration During Cardiac Arrest .

The study will enroll acute myocardial infarction patients who suffered from a cardiac arrest in the cardiac catheterization laboratory during percutaneous intervention procedure. Cardiac Resuscitation was performed according to the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines. The preferred route of epinephrine administration was through the central venous access (by internal jugular or subclavian vein). Thus, if available, it was the preferred method of medication delivery. However, in cases without central venous access, the route of epinephrine administration (peripheral intravenous or arterial intracoronary) during cardiac arrest was left to the treating physicians.
