    AbstractClinical questionIs a vasopressin, steroid, and epinephrine (VSE) protocol for in-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation associated with better survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic outcome compared to epinephrine alone?Article chosenMentzelopoulos S, Malachias S, Konstantopoulos D, et al. Vasopressin, steroids, and epinephrine and neurologically favorable survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest: a randomized clinical trial.JAMA 2013;310:270-9.ObjectiveTo determine if a VSE protocol during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with hydrocortisone administration in patients with postresuscitative shock at 4 hours after return of spontaneous circulation would improve survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurologic outcome.
