bretylium and Asystole

bretylium has been researched along with Asystole in 7 studies

bretylium: RN given refers to parent cpd
bretylium : A quaternary ammonium cation having 2-bromobenzyl, ethyl and two methyl groups attached to the nitrogen. It blocks noradrenaline release from the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, and is used in emergency medicine, cardiology, and other specialties for the acute management of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

"The effect of intravenous lidocaine, 2 mg/kg, and bretylium, 5 mg/kg, on defibrillation threshold (DFT) was investigated in alpha-chloralose anesthetized dogs undergoing conventional closed chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following induced ventricular fibrillation."3.67The effect of lidocaine and bretylium on the defibrillation threshold during cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. ( Chow, MS; Fieldman, A; Kluger, J; Lawrence, R, 1986)
"In this swine model of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, animals treated with an experimental algorithm had a significant improvement in one-hour survival compared with those treated with advanced cardiac life support."1.29An experimental algorithm versus standard advanced cardiac life support in a swine model of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
