Bradycardia at the onset of pulseless electrical activity arrests in hospitalized patients is associated with improved survival to discharge

Beta-blocker use at discharge in patients hospitalized for heart failure is associated with improved survival.

BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated that beta-blocker use at the time of hospital discharge significantly increased postdischarge treatment rates, associated with an early (60- to 90-day) survival benefit in patients with heart failure (HF). However, it is unknown whether this therapeutic approach can also improve the long-term survival. We thus examined the long-term effects of beta-block...

Application of ultrasound in pulseless electrical activity (PEA) cardiac arrest

Administration of fibrinogen concentrate in exsanguinating trauma patients is associated with improved survival at 6 hours but not at discharge.

BACKGROUND Despite poor evidence and high costs, fibrinogen concentrate (FC) represents one of the most frequently used hemostatic agents in exsanguinating trauma. The aim was to assess whether the administration of FC in severely injured patients was associated with improved outcomes. METHODS Patients documented in the Trauma Registry of the German Society for Trauma Surgery (primary admissi...

Predictors of survival from perioperative cardiopulmonary arrests: a retrospective analysis of 2,524 events from the Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitation registry.

BACKGROUND Perioperative cardiopulmonary arrests are uncommon and little is known about rates and predictors of in-hospital survival. METHODS Using the Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation national in-hospital resuscitation registry, we identified all patients aged 18 yr or older who experienced an index, pulseless cardiac arrest in the operating room or within 24 h postoperatively. The pri...
