May 20th, 2020 - Although in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrests and cardiopulmonary resuscitation occur>15,000/year in the US, few studies have assessed which factors affect the course of resuscitation in these patients. We investigated transitions from Pulseless ...

May 20th, 2020 - Knowledge about the neuroinflammatory state during months after sudden cardiac arrest is scarce. Neuroinflammation is mediated by cells that express the 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO). We determined the time course of TSPO-expressing cells in a...

May 20th, 2020 - The optimal effective temperature of targeted temperature management (TTM) used to prevent cerebral injury following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is undetermined. In this study, we compared the mortality, neurologic deficits, and cerebral p...

May 19th, 2020 - This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of transcatheter radiofrequency ablation (RFCA) in treating ventricular premature contractions (PVCs) in children, summarized the countermeasures during intraoperative ventricular fibrillation (VF), and...

May 9th, 2019 - The consensus statement, accompanied by a systematic review and meta-analysis published in conjunction with this document, serves as a resource guide and comprehensive review of the field for clinicians around the world who are working to improve...

Mar 18th, 2019 - Coronary artery disease is prevalent in different causes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), especially in individuals presenting with shockable rhythms of ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VF/pVT). The purpose of t...

Dec 20th, 2018 - Antiarrhythmic medications are commonly administered during and immediately after a ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiac arrest. However, it is unclear whether these medications improve patient outcomes. This 2018 Ame...

Nov 29th, 2018 - This European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation 2018 update is focused on the role of antiarrhythmic drugs during advanced life support for cardiac arrest with shock refractory ventricular fibrillation/pulseless ventricular ...

May 11th, 2017 - To assess the evidence and make evidence-based recommendations for acute interventions to reduce brain injury in adult patients who are comatose after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Published literature from 1966 to August 29, 2016, was...

May 20th, 2020 - Because of its life-threatening side effects and the substantial management difficulties associated with its use (see WARNINGS below), amiodarone is indicated only for the treatment of the following documented, life-threatening recurrent ventricul...

May 20th, 2020 - Because of its life-threatening side effects and the substantial management difficulties associated with its use (see "WARNINGS" below), Pacerone® (Amiodarone HCl) Tablets are indicated only for the treatment of the following documented, life-thre...

May 20th, 2020 - Although in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrests and cardiopulmonary resuscitation occur>15,000/year in the US, few studies have assessed which factors affect the course of resuscitation in these patients. We investigated transitions from Pulseless ...

Apr 8th, 2020 - Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is associated with improved neurological outcomes, compared with standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), even with prolonged resuscitation and progressive metabolic derangement, new researc...

Sep 18th, 2019 - A new case series raises the question of whether electronic gaming may cause ventricular arrhythmias and contribute to syncope in children with certain underlying conditions. The authors report on four instances of syncope resulting from ventricul...

Aug 20th, 2019 - Early ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) commonly occur after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, researchers found, although whether inherently dangerous or merely a marker of disease severity remained unclear. A quarter of the 652 LVA...

May 9th, 2019 - The consensus statement, accompanied by a systematic review and meta-analysis published in conjunction with this document, serves as a resource guide and comprehensive review of the field for clinicians around the world who are working to improve...

Apr 25th, 2019 - Objectively measured cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in middle-aged men is inversely related to their risk for serious ventricular arrhythmias over the subsequent decades, independent of other cardiovascular risk factors, conclude researchers base...
