Abstract

Adrenaline is a recommended drug in advanced life support protocol algorithm. This study is to find out the effect
and outcome of adrenaline administration during cardiac resuscitation in a tertiary care centre. This study was
carried out over a period of two months. Fifty one patients in the intensive care unit were included in this study.
During cardiac resuscitation after defibrillation inj.adrenaline 1mg was given intravenously in 3 to 5 minutes of
interval with maximum of two doses. Only two patients were revived successfully with cardiac resuscitation .This
prospective observational study concludes diabetes and hypertension are the high risk factors for coronary artery
disease. Males are predominantly affected and sedentary life style in females are under high risk. Earlier
administration of adrenaline in shockable rhythm resulted in a worst outcome. Large study group population in
future would clarify the reasons for poor outcome.
