Atropine is mostly deprecated in cardiac arrest scenarios nowadays. It's still in-protocol for brady PEAs, but that's about it.
Rapid cooling is becoming very widespread in post-ROSC situations (we're spec'ing a chiller box for saline in our next rigs for that very reason), but if they're still dead, cooling them isn't likely to do much for them.
- rdl 13y agoIt would be really interesting to see cooling applied to dive medicine (I dive, and a friend of mine is a Canadian Forces MD who did a hyperbaric/dive med fellowship at Duke, so I read some papers on this stuff more than I would otherwise). Also seems like it could be really useful for flight medicine/extended distance transport post ROSC/etc.
