This month, join paramedic Erika Tjostheim as they review a very recent publication from the Journal of Academic Emergency Medicine, which looked at the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients based on the timing, and type of antiarrhythmic drug administration. 

The Paper: Lupton, J., et al. 2023. "Survival by Time-to-Administration of Amiodarone, Lidocaine, or Placebo in Shock-Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest" Academic Emergency Medicine. 30(9):906-917. https://doi.org/10.1111/acem.14716
