Title: A Randomised, Double-blinded Multi-centre Trial Comparing Vasopressin and Adrenaline in Patients With Cardiac Arrest at the Emergency Department. (Preadmission Intravenous Vasopressin, Adrenaline Outcome Trial: PIVOT vII)
Brief Summary: The effectiveness of medications in cardiac arrest has been greatly debated and questioned. Historically intravenous adrenaline has been the drug of choice since 1906. There have been few formal evaluations to determine the value of adrenaline for cardiac arrest, and clinical trials have not been able to show any benefit with intravenous adrenaline (compared to placebo or no treatment) in the field.

Thus the purpose of this study is to compare vasopressin and adrenaline in the treatment of cardiac arrest to answer the question whether there is an improvement in survival between vasopressin and adrenaline.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient with cardiac arrest as confirmed by the absence of a pulse, unresponsiveness and apnea
* Age above 16 (Age 21 and above for CGH only)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Traumatic cardiac arrest
* Age 16 and below (Age 20 and below for CGH only)
* CPR is contraindicated
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Adult in-patients with cardiac arrest requiring epinephrine according to current guidelines.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age \< 18 years.
* Documented terminal illness (life expectancy \< 6 weeks).
* Do not resuscitate status.
* Cardiac arrest before arrival at hospital.
* Prior enrollment into the study (i.e. second or third inhospital arrest etc.).
* Corticosteroid treatment before the cardiac arrest.
* Any inaccurate documentation of CPR data such as medication, number of countershocks etc.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patents aged 18 years (or local age of consent) or more who suffer non-traumatic arrest of presumed cardiac etiology in an out-of-hospital setting and who do not meet any of the exclusion criteria below.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Traumatic arrest (blunt, penetrating, burns)
* Arrest due to exsanguinations, strangulation, smoke inhalation, drug overdose, electrocution, hanging, drowning.
* Known or clinically apparent pregnancy
* Do Not Attempt to Resuscitate (DNAR) orders
* Apparent patient weight more than 225 kg (500 lbs)
* Wards of the state
* Prisoner
* CPR device other than AutoPulse
* Patients who are reached after 16 minutes after the time of emergency call (911). This exclusion is determined at the time of CRF abstraction, not during treatment of the patient.

  * If patient is unaccompanied, or accompanied by a person or persons unfamiliar with their his-tory, determination of these exclusion criteria will, perforce, be left to the best estimation of the rescue personnel. At no time, should an attempt to determine these criteria be allowed to delay the administration of life-saving treatment.

    * These criteria will be determined in the best estimation of the rescue personnel, or if the AutoPulse signals that the patient is outside the parameters for AutoPulse deployment.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Out-of-hospital medical cardiac arrest in adult patients.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Traumatic cardiac arrest
* Pregnancy
* Patients younger than 18 years old or older than 85 years old
