Abstract

Sudden cardiac death claims more than 7,000,000 lives per year globally and a survival rate of 2 to 8% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims has not improved in 30 years. Previously we reported that Adenocaine (adenosine and lidocaine) can arrest and reanimate the heart for use in cardiac surgery/transplantation, and that 7.5% NaCl/Adenocaine/Mg2+ can resuscitate the rat following severe hemorrhagic shock. Our aim was to examine Adenocaine's ability to rescue and stabilize the heart following 8 min of asphyxial hypoxia in the rat model of cardiac arrest at warm (37°C) and cold (rectal 32-33°C) temperatures.
