Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lidocaine is used primarily for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias and would not be effective in the treatment of asystole, which is a complete absence of electrical activity in the heart. Epinephrine and vasopressin are commonly used to help stimulate the heart and improve the chances of successful resuscitation in cases of asystole. Atropine may also be used to treat certain types of bradyarrhythmias, but would not be effective in asystole as there is no electrical activity to stimulate.
