The Route to ROSC: Evaluating the Impact of Route and Timing of Epinephrine Administration in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes
This retrospective analysis of a national EMS database revealed that IO epinephrine was negatively associated with ROSC. Additionally, there appears to be a finite time window during which intravenous epinephrine remains superior to the intraosseous route even if there are brief initial delays in IV drug delivery.
