I suspect we will see more episodes of consciousness with CPR with the introduction of automated CPR machines. These machines are capable of producing a life sustaining cardiac output even in the setting of a dying heart. The real moral dilemma may come when the only thing keeping the dying patient alive is the automatic external compression.
Was there any thought to reversing the adrenergic excess with epinephrine treatment by using esmolol?Competing Interests: None declared.
