Effect of Vasopressin, Steroid, and Epinephrine Treatment in Patients With Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Summary

Steroid use could be considered for patients with weaker adrenal function among those with post-cardiac arrest (CA) return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), according to the former study. This finding is consistent with the medical background of this present study. This study will be the first to investigate these additional drugs of injection and associated prognosis in cardiac arrest (CA) patients outside the hospital, providing significant basic data.
