Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest:
How did we get here?
The “Achilles’ Heel” of Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation is “Artificial Perfusion”
Why Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest?
!! Kickstart the Heart !!
A range of doses “anecdotally” recommended
Resuscitation Medicine Key Concept: The “Chain of Survival”
Early Recognition& Activation (911) Early CPR Rapid
Defibrillation ACLS &
Transport Post-Resuscitation
ICU/Neuro Care
Resuscitation Science
Coronary Perfusion Pressure: CPP
CPP = Aortic Pressure – Right Atrial Pressure
This is greatest during the relaxation phase of chest compression:
CPR diastolic CPP = CPR diastolic AoP – CPR diastolic RAP
CPP correlates with myocardial blood flow during CPR
Resuscitation Science
Coronary Perfusion Pressure & ROSC:
CPP ≥ 15 mmHg associated with ROSC
The higher the CPP, the better
CPR-diastolic Aortic Pressure:
CPR dAoP ≥ 30 mmHg associated with ROSC
Adrenaline Effect in Cardiac Arrest:
Mechanism of Action is
Peripheral Arterial Vasoconstriction
↑ AoP ↑ CPP
CPR-diastolic Aortic Pressure
CPR-diastolic Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP)
60+ Years of Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest:
Is there any evidence of benefit?
Standard Dose Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest:
…Survival rates disappointing…
High-Dose Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest:
…Come & Gone…
No benefit over Standard Dose Adrenaline
….so what about SD Adrenaline
Standard Dose Adrenaline versus Placebo
Increased ROSC & Hospital Admission with SD Adrenaline
No difference in Hospital Discharge or Neurological Outcome

Meta-Analysis & Review
Standard Dose versus High Dose Adrenaline
Rate of ROSC greater with HDA
Lin, et al: Resuscitation 2014; 85:732-740
Meta-Analysis & Review
Standard Dose versus High Dose Adrenaline
Admission Rate greater with HDA
Lin, et al: Resuscitation 2014; 85:732-740
Meta-Analysis & Review
Standard Dose versus High Dose Adrenaline
Hospital Discharge Rate: Not Different
Lin, et al: Resuscitation 2014; 85:732-740
Meta-Analysis & Review
Standard Dose versus High Dose Adrenaline
Neurological Outcome: Not Different
Lin, et al: Resuscitation 2014; 85:732-740
Meta-Analysis & Review
SDE: no increase in survival with good neurological outcomeHDE: no better than SDESDE + Vasopressin: no better than SDE alone

The “Adrenaline Dilemma” in Cardiac Arrest:
Why is it not working?
Route of Adrenaline delivery
Intravenous…….what we do & have always done.
……IV route is just not effective in Cardiac Arrest
“Adrenaline Dilemma” in Cardiac Arrest
Poor CPP Borderline CPP Good CPP
≤ 8 – 10 mmHg 10 – 20/25 mmHg ≥ 25/30 mmHg
Adrenaline will Adrenaline “may” Adrenaline maynot circulate, be beneficial, but not be needed!Minimal-No Effect risk of excessive “may” even be
dosing detrimental
So…....
Should we abandon the use of Adrenaline in cardiac arrest?
......maybe not just yet.
What about route of delivery?
Intravenous…….what we do & have always done.
Intra-Aortic / Intra-Arterial……….???

CPR-diastolic Coronary Perfusion Pressure (CPP)
Rethinking Adrenaline in Cardiac Arrest
Intravenous Adrenaline improves ROSC & Admission Rate, but NOT Survival to Discharge or Neurological Outcome
ROSC & Admission MUST precede Discharge & Recovery
If not IV Adrenaline, then what are we going to do to improve perfusion during cardiac arrest?
Endovascular: Aortic Pressure catheters & Intra-aortic Adrenaline?
Extracorporeal Perfusion: ECMO, SAAP +/- Adrenaline
