Advanced cardiac life support in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND The Ontario Prehospital Advanced Life Support (OPALS) Study tested the incremental effect on the rate of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest of adding a program of advanced life support to a program of rapid defibrillation. METHODS This multicenter, controlled clinical trial was conducted in 17 cities before and after advanced-life-support programs were instituted and enr...
متن کاملSurvival after Cardiac Arrest and Changing Task Profile of the Cardiac Arrest Team in a Tertiary Care Center
BACKGROUND The characteristics of in-hospital emergency response systems, survival rates, and variables associated with survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest vary significantly among medical centers worldwide. Aiming to optimize in-hospital emergency response, we performed an analysis of survival after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the task profile of our cardiac arrest team...
متن کاملFactors associated with initiation of medical advanced cardiac life support after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Termination of resuscitation rule permits to stop futile resuscitative efforts by paramedics. In a different setting, the decision to withhold resuscitation by emergency physician could be based on different factors. We aimed to identify the factors associated with the initiation of a medical ACLS in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. METHODS We prospectively collected the ch...
متن کاملEmergency neurological life support: resuscitation following cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is the most common cause of death in North America. Neurocritical care interventions, including therapeutic hypothermia (TH), have significantly improved neurological outcomes in patients successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest. Therefore, resuscitation following cardiac arrest was chosen as an Emergency Neurological Life Support protocol. Patients remaining comatose follow...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Life Support Increases Survival After Prolonged Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest in the Rat
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may increase end organ perfusion and thus survival when conventional CPR fails. The aim was to investigate, if after ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest in rodents ECLS improves outcome compared with conventional CPR. METHODS In 24 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (460-510 g) resuscitation was started afte...
