Effectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs for shockable cardiac arrest: A systematic review
2018, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :The included RCTs were comprised of one study [38] with a large sample (>1000 participants), one study [37] with a medium sized sample (500–999 participants), and twelve studies [29–36,39,30–42] with small samples (<499 participants). In the observational studies, there were four [44,48,49,58] large cohorts (>1000 participants), four [43,50,57,60] medium sized cohorts (500–999 participants), and ten [45–47,51–56,59] small cohorts (<499 participants). The range of mean ages in the included RCT studies was 57–67 years, while in the observational studies it was 55.8–83.3 years.
Drugs in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
2018, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Despite the widespread use of lidocaine for this indication, there are limited low-quality data addressing its use in the out-of-hospital setting. An observational study published in 1981 compared the survival of prehospital patients who did or did not receive lidocaine for the treatment of refractory VF.32 This small uncontrolled study (n = 116) found a nonsignificant increase in survival to admission and survival to hospital discharge in patients who received lidocaine.

2016, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :The assessment of risk of bias for non-RCTs performed with the NOS method showed that all the studies had low-risk, scoring 6/9 or above. In particular, scores were higher in the two most recent ones (8/9)14,15 and slightly lower for Herlitz et al. (7/9)25; the lowest score was found for the prospective study (6/9).24 All these studies had no independent blind assessment/record linkage (Supplemental digital content 4).
