ResumoDuring cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) vasopressors are used to increase systemic vascular resistance in order to improve myocardial and cerebral blood flow. The use of epinephrine for treatment of cardiac arrest was already suggested by Gottlieb in 1897 ‘, while in 1906 Crile and Dolley following investigations on dogs postulated that epinephrine was to be effective in cardiopulmonary resuscitation by means of raising the coronary perfusion pressure2. According to the current recommendations, epinephrine is recognized as being the drug of choice for resumption of spontaneous circulation in all forms of cardiac arrest3.
