Conclusions
In the early post-resuscitation phase, vasopressin provided higher systemic blood pressures and there was a reversible depressant effect on myocardial function as compared to epinephrine. Overall cardiovascular function was not irreversibly impaired after vasopressin administration in this cardiac arrest model.
