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 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...

Jun 28th, 2022 - Therapeutic hypothermia improves mortality and functional neurologic outcomes in patients resuscitated from pulseless ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF), with several studies validating the safety of prehospital induction following s...

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...

Oct 5th, 2021 - Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of hereditary heart disease, affecting 1 in 200-500 people. Of all the heterogenous manifestations associated with HCM, including left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and heart failur...
