Open Access Abstract Introduction An increasing body of evidence from laboratory and clinical studies suggests that vasopressin may represent a promising alternative vasopressor for use during cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Current guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation recommend the use of adrenaline epinephrine with vasopressin considered only as a secondary option because of limited clinical data. Method The present study was conducted in a prehospital setting and included patients with ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia undergoing one of three treatments group I patients received only adrenaline 1 mg every 3 minutes group II patients received one intravenous dose of arginine vasopressine 40 IU after three doses of 1 mg epinephrine and patients in group III received vasopressin 40 IU as first-line therapy. The cause of cardiac arrest myocardial infarction or other cause was established for each patient in hospital. .
