* Vasopressin and Epinephrine vs. Epinephrine Alone in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
BACKGROUND: During the administration of advanced cardiac life support for resuscitation from cardiac arrest, a combination of vasopressin and epinephrine may be more effective
than epinephrine or vasopressin alone, but evidence is insufficient to make clinical
