A member asked:
Cardiac arrest while on high dose beta blockers. is the patient less likely to be resuscitated. ? do the beta blockers make resuscitation less likely ? ive read patients taking beta blockers typically initially present with pea vs v fib???

Resuscitation from cardiac arrest depends on the underlying issue by the arrest and the method of resuscitation (CPR, medications, electricity). Beta blockers have nothing to do with this. If you have concerns about a medication, please speak with the prescribing doctor. Random google searches may lead to more confusion.
