As compared with epinephrine alone, the combination of vasopressin and epinephrine during advanced cardiac life support for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest does not improve outcome. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00127907.)

The results of EuReCa ONE highlight that OHCA is still a major public health problem accounting for a substantial number of deaths in Europe. EuReCa ONE very clearly demonstrates marked differences in the processes for data collection and reported outcomes following OHCA all over Europe. Using these data and analyses, different countries, regions, systems, and concepts can benchmark themselves and may learn from each other to further improve survival following one of our major health care events.

Due to their lack of sensitivity and their dependence to respiratory status, DeltaPP and DeltaSP are clearly less reliable to predict fluid responsiveness during SB than in mechanically ventilated patients. However, when their baseline value is high without acute right ventricular dysfunction in a participating patient, a positive response to fluid is likely.
