The aim of the present study is to assess whether the combination of vasopressin and epinephrine given their different mechanisms of action provides better results than epinephrine alone in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods Ventricular fibrillation was induced in 22 Landrace Large-White piglets which were left untreated for 8 minutes before attempted resuscitation with precordial compression mechanical ventilation and electrical defibrillation. Animals were randomized into 2 groups during cardiopulmonary resuscitation 11 animals who received saline as placebo 20 ml dilution bolus epinephrine mg kg Epi group and 11 animals who received vasopressin IU kg 20 ml dilution bolus epinephrine mg kg defibrillation was attempted fibrillation.
