Jul 13th, 2021 - To describe our experience in use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a rescue strategy in patients following cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A retrospective analysis was performed for patients (n = 101) who received ECLS after cardiorespirato...

Jun 19th, 2021 - Prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation has commonly been considered ineffective in traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest because traditional chest compressions do not produce substantial cardiac output. However, recent evidence suggests that chest c...

Jun 15th, 2021 - Tapping on Pulseless Electrical Activity: An Opportunity for Improving Resuscitation Outcomes?|2021|Gazmuri RJ,|

Jun 15th, 2021 - Background Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a common initial rhythm in cardiac arrest. A substantial number of PEA arrests are caused by coronary ischemia in the setting of acute coronary occlusion, but the underlying mechanism is not well u...

Jun 15th, 2021 - This observational cohort study aimed to identify factors associated with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and asystole in in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients and to determine whether differences in outcome based on the initial rhythm we...

Mar 20th, 2009 - The Clinical Guidelines Committee of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery provides this professional view on resuscitation in cardiac arrest after cardiac surgery. This document was created using a multimodal methodology for eviden...

Jan 12th, 2016 - Inhospital cardiac arrest still constitutes an important clinical problem with survival to discharge ranging within 0-42% (most common range = 15-20%). Survival after witnessed, pulseless ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia(VF/VT) that is respons...

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of an early discharge strategy in patients with low risk ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), compared...

Apr 14th, 2020 - Among patients who had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, intravenous sodium nitrite given by paramedics during resuscitation did not significantly improve their chances of being admitted to or discharged from the hospital alive. The study was pre...

Dec 6th, 2018 - Cardiac Arrest in ESRD Patients with ESRD may have sudden cardiac arrest as a result of several etiologies. During the advance cardiac life support algorithm, there is a brief period of evaluation of the electrical rhythm in which echocardiography.

Nov 13th, 2017 - Predictors showing utility Several clinical factors predicted poor cerebral outcome with low false-positive rates: Unwitnessed cardiac arrest had a false-positive rate of only 4%; initial presentation in asystole or with pulseless electrical activ.

Nov 10th, 2017 - Case Presentations Case 1: Smoke Inhalation (Carbon Monoxide and Cyanide) A 50-year-old woman was pulled from the window of a burning building and found to be in cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity. Standard advanced cardiac life-sup.

Nov 18th, 2015 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) -- Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) improves survival and neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest in patients with initially nonshockable rhythms, according to results from a retrospective cohort study. Previous randomized...
