Not every relationship deserves adrenaline. But if the EtCO₂ doesn't rise, neither does it.
In CPR, adrenaline should not be administered reflexively.
If after administering it the EtCO₂ doesn't improve, physiology is telling you something: perhaps you're not generating enough flow, perhaps the cause isn't resolved, or perhaps you're repeating drugs without changing the real problem.
Because in the end, in cardiac arrest, the EtCO₂ is not just monitor decoration.
It's one of the few ways to know if your resuscitation is truly moving blood.
If she doesn't come up, the party hasn't started.
Comment PHYSIOLOGY and I'll send you the summary by DM.
