Jan 27th, 2021 - A new study has identified factors that predict poor long-term survival in patients who have survived a cardiac arrest and are being considered for coronary angiography. Patients who were older than 85 years, had nonshockable rhythm, and who requi...

Nov 24th, 2020 - A preliminary study of adults who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that included the use of a device to elevate the head and thorax not surprisingly showed again that speed matters....

Nov 23rd, 2020 - Comatose patients resuscitated after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who received an infusion of tocilizumab (RoActemra), an antibody that blocks interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptors, had reduced systemic inflammatory response and cardiac injur...
