note = "Funding Information: A comprehensive search was completed to identify relevant trials, irrespective of language and publication status. We initially searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and LILACS on 26 November 2009 (Appendix 1). These searches were updated in March 2012 (Appendix 2), except for LILACS, which was updated in June 2013 (Appendix 3). We also searched Clinical-Trials.gov (www.clinicaltrials.gov) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP; http://apps.who.int/trialsearch/), using the terms “cardiac arrest” or “asystole” or “bradyasystole” as the condition and “aminophylline” or “adenosine antagonist” as the intervention. We used similar terms to search the grey literature through Google Scholar, the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI) Catalogue and the British Library Public Catalogue. We reviewed reference lists of all available primary studies and review articles to identify potentially relevant citations. We also contacted authors of primary studies to inquire about other published or unpublished trials known to them. Scientific advisors for the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture aminophylline (Omega Laboratories and Hospira Healthcare Corporation) were contacted for any unpublished results on the use of aminophylline in asystolic arrest. Finally, we reviewed reference lists of relevant trials and review articles as well as conference proceedings from the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and the American Heart Association (1997-2012) and from the European Society of Cardiology (2005-2012).
