| - Dr. McCoy also used one cc of cordrazine to revive Rizzo to consciousness. (TOS: "Obsession" ) A more potent form of cordrazine, called tricordrazine, was commonly used in resuscitation in the 24th century. Dr. Beverly Crusher attempted to use tricordrazine to revive Worf after he went into heart failure, following a risky surgery using the genetronic replicator to repair his damaged spinal column. (TNG: "Ethics" ) In 2369, Crusher revived the deceased Deanna Troi with ten ccs of cordrazine used in conjunction with a cortical stimulator. {TNG: "Man of the People" ) Later that year, Crusher told her staff to prepare a cordrazine series for Jean-Luc Picard after his artificial heart had been damaged and the captain was failing fast. (TNG: "Tapestry" ) In 2371, Bareil Antos was given two ccs of cordrazine by Julian Bashir and Jabara. Bashir himself was given four ccs of cordrazine several weeks later, after being placed in a coma following Altovar's attack. (DS9: "Life Support", "Distant Voices") The Doctor used two ccs of cordrazine to revive Harry Kim after he was killed by a Vhnori cenotaph. (VOY: "Emanations") On "Planet Hell" in 2372, Neelix suggested that Tom Paris administer cordrazine to an ailing reptohumanoid infant. (VOY: "Parturition") Bashir gave cordrazine to several Teplans in 2372, hoping to alleviate the pain caused by the Dominion's Teplan blight. Epran and Ekoria were among those given the drug, although the former had stopped responding to it before he died. Bashir was concerned that the high level of the drug he'd administered to Ekoria might be hard on her baby's metabolism. (DS9: "The Quickening") The Doctor used fifty milligrams of cordrazine to stabilize Tuvok in 2373 when a gaseous anomaly unearthed repressed memories in Tuvok. (VOY: "Flashback") Later that year, The Doctor used ten milligrams of cordrazine in conjunction with a cortical stimulator to revive Kathryn Janeway after an alien had invaded her cerebral cortex. (VOY: "Coda") Since cordrazine was usually measured in ccs (equivalent to milliliters), it is hard to make a relative comparison of the amount administered to Tuvok. However, it is five times what Bashir used on Luther Sloan, a Human. This suggests that Vulcans may require higher doses of this medicine than Humans. In late 2375, Bashir gave ten milligrams of cordrazine to Section 31's Luther Sloan who had attempted suicide, although only as part of a mental simulation created by the multitronic engrammatic interpreter. (DS9: "Extreme Measures") In 2376, The Doctor used twenty milligrams of cordrazine during an emergency resuscitation to revive B'Elanna Torres from an induced catatonic state, to which she did not respond. (VOY: "Barge of the Dead") Since the amounts used range from one to four ccs and ten to fifty milligrams, it is reasonable to expect that cordrazine is significantly more dense than water (which has a density of 1 g/cc).
