Drug combo during CPR, stress-dose hydrocortisone in postresuscitation shock associated with neurologically favorable survival to discharge
Vasopressin-epinephrine and methylprednisolone during CPR and stress-dose hydrocortisone in postresuscitation shock were associated with better neurologically favorable survival to hospital discharge compared with epinephrine plus a saline placebo in patients in cardiac arrest who required vasopressors.
