Epinephrine is frequently administered as an essential drug for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in clinical situations. Unfortunately, epinephrine elicits unfavorable effects, for example pulmonary edema, both during and after CPR. We hypothesized that administration of landiolol during CPR with epinephrine would reduce the degree of pulmonary edema and improve survival. Therefore using a rat CPR model, we investigated the effect of landiolol with epinephrine on pulmonary and cardiac injury following CPR.
