Amiodarone, Lidocaine or Neither for Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Due to Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating amiodarone, Lidocaine, and 1 other intervention for Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 3,024 participants across 9 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary

Timeline
Interventions
300 mg will be given IV/IO push for reoccurrence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia after 1 or more shocks. A second dose of 150 mg will be given if VF/pulseless VT reoccurs after initial dose and a subsequent shock. The initial dose for patients estimated to be less than 100 pounds will be 150 mg, followed by a second dose of 150 mg if the VF/pulseless VT persists.
120 mg will be given IV/IO push with reoccurrence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia after 1 or more shocks. A second dose of 60 mg will be given if VF/pulseless VT reoccurs after initial dose and a subsequent shock. The initial dose for patients estimated to be less than 100 pounds will be 60 mg, followed by a second dose of 60 mg if the VF/pulseless VT persists.
6 cc of normal saline (NS) will be given IV/IO push for reoccurrence of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia after 1 or more shocks. A second dose of 3 cc will be given if VF/pulseless VT reoccurs after initial dose and a subsequent shock. The initial dose for patients estimated to be less than 100 pounds will be 3 cc, followed by a second dose of 3 cc if the VF/pulseless VT persists.
