Clinical Trial of Lamivudine in Children with Chronic Hepatitis B

Efficacy of amiodarone and lidocaine for preventing ventricular fibrillation after aortic cross-clamp release in open heart surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…Moreover, another study indicated that administration of lidocaine with a perfusion pump before ACC release reduced VF incidence from 70% to 11% (Baraka et al, 2000). As for amiodarone, subsequent studies demonstrated that this medication may achieve comparable (Samantaray et al, 2010) or even greater (Dorian et al, 2002) preventative effects against VF in patients who are at risk for development of VF and pulseless ventricular tachycardia during cardiac surgery. In contrast, several other studies reported that neither amiodarone nor lidocaine effectively prevented VF in cardiac surgeries.…”
