The authors concluded that patients with bystander CPR and a shockable rhythm who received only a single dose of epinephrine had a higher survival rate to hospital discharge compared to those who did not receive bystander CPR and had multiple doses of epinephrine.

After liberation from mechanical ventilation, obese patients may be at increased risk for recurrent respiratory failure and reintubation.
