Sep 29th, 2022 - Predefibrillation end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) may predict defibrillation success and could guide defibrillation timing in ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest. This relationship has only been studied using advanced airways. Our aim was to evalua...

Sep 22nd, 2022 - This is a prospective observational study at St. Olavs hospital in Norway. Data are gathered from defibrillators that have been in use during resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Aim is to investigate the changes in electrocardiograms (ECG) during r...

Sep 9th, 2022 - Background There are limited data on the sex-based differences in the outcome of readmission after cardiac arrest. Methods and Results Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, we analyzed patients hospitalized with cardiac arrest between 2010 a...

Sep 4th, 2022 - The proportion of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) presenting as pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is rising, and survival remains low. The pathophysiology of PEA-SCA is poorly understood, and current clinical practice lacks specific options for the ...

Aug 23rd, 2022 - Little is known about survival outcomes after traumatic cardiac arrest in Asia, or the association of Utstein factors with survival after traumatic cardiac arrests. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of traumatic cardiac ar...

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...

Sep 22nd, 2022 - This is a prospective observational study at St. Olavs hospital in Norway. Data are gathered from defibrillators that have been in use during resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Aim is to investigate the changes in electrocardiograms (ECG) during r...

Apr 27th, 2022 - Patients suffering an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) present in one of two broad groups; non-shockable or shockable rhythms. The former group comprises asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA) and the latter, ventricular fibrillation...

Nov 5th, 2021 - A multicenter, randomized, adaptive allocation clinical trial to determine if increasing durations of induced hypothermia are associated with an increasing rate of good neurological outcomes and to identify the optimal duration of induced hypother...

Jun 8th, 2017 - This study evaluates the management of subjects with Standard of Care (SOC) when admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) with hyperkalemia (potassium value ≥ 5.5 mmol/L). If the initial SOC potassium value is suspect, a second confirmatory SOC s...

Feb 2nd, 2017 - If cardiac arrest is suspected, the EMS personnel contacted the medical director before arriving at the scene. Upon the arrival at the scene of the two activated paramedic teams, they rapidly switch to ALS under teamwork-based BLS and video medica...

Oct 13th, 2020 - Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. Cardiac arrest is common in critically ill patients with COVID-19, and is associated with poor survival, particularly among older patients, two re...

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...

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...

Oct 14th, 2019 - The use of moderate therapeutic hypothermia can significantly improve chances of survival with a favorable neurologic outcome in patients remaining in a coma after resuscitation from cardiac arrest with nonshockable rhythm, a new randomized trial ...

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.
