“Paramedic 2 quick summary:

If 1000 people treated with epinephrine:

– 246 extra ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation)

– 158 extra admissions

– 8 extra survivors (5 with bad neuro outcomes, 3 with good neuro outcomes)

– What those numbers mean is a value question, not a science question.” (via @First10EM see Tweet)
