Vasopressin vs. Epinephrine During Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

"Vasopressin group Vasopressin will be via umbilical vein catheter (0.4 IU/kg per dose - first line) or alternatively via an endotracheal tube (8 IU/kg) every three to five minutes as needed with a maximum of two doses if there is no ROSC \[2,3\] After that, the clinical team must convert to give epinephrine (0.02 mg/kg per dose) as long as CPR is ongoing."

"Epinephrine group Epinephrine will be administered according to current resuscitation guidelines either via umbilical vein catheter (0.02 mg/kg per dose) or via endotracheal tube (0.1 mg/kg) every three to five minutes as needed\[2,3\]. Chest compressions and epinephrine will be continued until ROSC."
