The Complexities of Epinephrine in Cardiac Resuscitation

This chapter explores the use of adrenaline (epinephrine) in cardiac arrest scenarios, weighing its effects on immediate outcomes against long-term patient survival. It critiques the common focus on Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) and emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of meaningful patient outcomes. Through personal anecdotes and reflections on evolving protocols, the chapter advocates for a more evidence-based and patient-centered approach in emergency medical practices.
