Could less be more? new trial tests lower epinephrine dose for cardiac arrest

NCT ID NCT07442071

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether giving a smaller dose of epinephrine (0.5 mg) during a heart attack outside the hospital helps more people survive with better brain function than the usual dose (1 mg). About 4,336 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the low or standard dose. The main goal is to see if the lower dose leads to better neurological outcomes 28 days later.
