Calcium antagonists have been shown to protect the myocardium against the deleterious effects of ischemia and reperfusion in both focal and global models. The mechanism of this protection is probably related to their ability to decrease the rapid and massive cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium overl
blood flow. Outcome studies have shown methoxamine to be comparable to epinephrine in resuscitation from asphyxial arrest. One study demonstrated methoxamine's superiority in raising the aortic diastolic pressure and resuscitating animals from ventricular fibrillation. No significant advantage of no
The effectiveness of calcium in electromechanical dissociation (EMD) has been challenged. Retrospective studies have been contradictory. To determine its effectiveness a prospective, randomized, blinded study comparing calcium chloride and saline in refractory EMD was carried out in the pre-hospital
