New to the 2020 AHA guidelines is a recommendation for epinephrine administration as early as possible in non-shockable cardiac arrest for both adult and pediatric postulations.

A systematic review and met analysis showed increased ROSC and survival to hospital discharge in those given epinephrine. Observational data suggest there are better outcomes when epinephrine is given sooner.

For more great evidence based recommendations, check out your 2021 MCME Precourse module on the AHA Guidelines Update!
