Epinephrine is a cornerstone of medical cardiac arrest, but does it provide the same benefit in traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA)? Emerging research challenges long-held protocols, suggesting this go-to drug may not be the life-saver we assume it is—and could even cause harm. Host Bram Duffee, PhD, EMT-P, explores a groundbreaking study that could change how we manage these critical patients. This episode unpacks a February 2025 study in Prehospital Emergency Care that analyzed over 1,600 out-of...

🚑Beyond Epinephrine: The Future of CPR with Ultrasound and Esmolol💖
After 6 doses of Epinephrine it may be too late for the CPR patient. Emergency physicians Dr. Zachary Boivin and Dr. Trent She, both from Connecticut, discussed their recent study entitled "Epinephrine in Cardiac Arrest: Identifying a Potential Limit for Resuscitation." This research sought to determine if there is a ceiling to the effective use of Epinephrine during resuscitation. Peter Antevy, MD who created the Handtevy System, a software-based pediatric resuscitation method and bag ...
