EFFECT OF DIFFERENT-DOSE EPINEPHRINE THERAPY ON PATIENTS RESUCITATED DURING CPR(A REPORT OF 71 CASES)

Seventy one patients with cardiac arrest were divided into three gr0ups according todifferent doses epinephrine (intravenous infusion, burst) during CPR. The results showed that the recoveryrates of high-dose epinephrine group (0.1mg/kg/time) were 7O. 33% in heart beat, 62. 50% in bloodpressure, 4l. 67% in respiration. The recovery rates were significantly higher than those of low-doseepinephrine gr0up (0. 5- 1. 0mg/time) (P . O5), but high-does epinephrine gr0up and middledose epinephrine group (1. 0mg/first-O. lmg/kg/time) were similar in the recovery rates- The survivalrate of high-dose epinephrine group was significantly higher than that of the three groups (33. 33M, vsl 2%, vs 9. 09 %, P 0.05 )- it is suggested that the use of high-dose epinephrine in earlier cardiac arrestcan improve the prognosis.
