ImpactModerate impact

Several posts suggest the study's results could influence clinical decision-making or institutional choices, indicating a perception of significant potential impact.

Abstract in brief

  • This study compared the effectiveness of amiodarone and lidocaine in adult patients with in-hospital cardiac arrests caused by ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia, showing that lidocaine was associated with better outcomes across several measures, including return of spontaneous circulation, survival after 24 hours, survival to hospital discharge, and favorable neurological outcomes.
  • The research analyzed data from over 14,600 patients treated between 2000 and 2014, and after controlling for various factors, found that patients receiving lidocaine had higher odds of positive outcomes compared to those treated with amiodarone.
  • These findings suggest that lidocaine may be more effective than amiodarone for treating in-hospital VTVF cardiac arrests, although the study emphasizes the need for further research to confirm these results.

#CPPPLU Highlights. A recent @ACCPChest observational trial found use of lidocaine vs amiodarone in in-hospital cardiac arrest resulted in ⬆️ ROSC, ⬆️ 24-hour survival, ⬆️ survival to discharge, and improved neurologic outcomes. #PharmICU https://t.co/FH3HQFRHqI

Comparative Effectiveness of Amiodarone and Lidocaine for the Treatment of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest - CHEST. Our institution uses a lot of amiodarone. Some food for thought to use lidocaine more often, barring any contraindications! https://t.co/TaXm5pi5kk

Today I learned: In retrospective study of in-hospital VT/VF cardiac arrest, lidocaine was associated w/ greater rates of ROSC, 24h survival, survival to discharge, and neurological recovery vs. amiodarone. More: https://t.co/cssBAXvU9W #MedTwitter #MedEd #Anesthesia #CritCare

@LogsStat assume both treatments are both readily available, cost the same, have similar downsides, etc. e.g. https://t.co/ocmNIeK1WD
