Advanced cardiac life support antiarrhythmic drugs.

As exemplified in this discussion of ACLS antiarrhythmic drugs, the evidence-based evaluation process has created a high standard for the acceptance and ranking of therapies for cardiac arrest. This process also has identified critical areas needing further investigation, fostered a healthy sense of discomfort with the adequacy of our present interventions for cardiac arrest, and hopefully will continue to spur the science while sifting the dogma out of CPR.
