Feb 4th, 2023 - Research on the causes of sudden cardiac arrest (CA) after ischemic stroke, especially disruption of the autonomic nervous system's central control, has recently focused more on the widespread cortical and subcortical network than on autonomic cir...

Jan 31st, 2023 - Neonatal piglets have been extensively used as translational models for perinatal asphyxia. In 2007, we adapted a well-established piglet asphyxia model by introducing cardiac arrest. This enabled us to study the impact of severe asphyxia on key o...

Jan 17th, 2023 - This study aimed to describe the characteristics of cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial asystole rhythm in which extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) was introduced and discuss the clinical indications for...

Dec 25th, 2022 - Aberrant subclavian arteries (aSCA), with or without aortic pathology are uncommon. The purpose of this study is to review our experience with surgical management of aSCA. We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent surgery for a...

Nov 23rd, 2022 - 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...

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...

Nov 23rd, 2022 - 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...

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...

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...

Dec 20th, 2020 - Increasing the dosage of lanreotide (Somatulin) autogel from every 28 days to every 14 days led to encouraging progression-free survival (PFS) outcomes in patients with progressive pancreatic and midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), according to f...

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...

Sep 28th, 2020 - Survival chances were bleak among COVID-19 patients who sustained in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), U.S. data showed. After a median 8 minutes of CPR on 54 such patients, 53.7% had return of spontaneous circulation, according to Corey Mayer, DO, ...

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...
