Outcome of out-of-hospital postcountershock asystole and pulseless electrical activity versus primary asystole and pulseless electrical activity.
OBJECTIVE In the prehospital setting, countershock terminates ventricular fibrillation (VF) in about 80% of cases. However, countershock is most commonly followed by asystole or pulseless electrical activity (PEA). The consequences of such a countershock outcome have not been well studied. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the outcome of prehospital VF victims shocked into asysto...
متن کاملWho survives from out-of-hospital pulseless electrical activity?
AIM OF THE STUDY To study factors associated with short-term and long-term survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest presenting with pulseless electrical activity (PEA). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational study. All out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Helsinki, Finland during 1 January 1997-31 December 2005 were prospectively registered in the cardiac arrest datab...
متن کاملContinuous mechanical chest compression during in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation of patients with pulseless electrical activity.
UNLABELLED Survival after in-hospital pulseless electrical activity (PEA) cardiac arrest is poor and has not changed during the last 10 years. Effective chest compressions may improve survival after PEA. We investigated whether a mechanical device (LUCAS™-CPR) can ensure chest compressions during cardiac arrest according to guidelines and without interruption during transport, diagnostic proced...
متن کاملFactors Associated with Adverse Outcome in Pediatric Febrile Neutropenia: Results from a Tertiary Care Hospital
Background Febrile neutropenia with childhood cancer alters the outcome significantly. To study the clinical and laboratory parameters, which predict the outcome among cancer patients with febrile neutropenia this study was undertaken. Materials and Methods The study included children less than 18 years with febrile neutropenia episodes. Clinical and hematological / laboratory parameters were r...
متن کاملAutomated continuous chest compression for in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation of patients with pulseless electrical activity: a report of five cases.
Of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest, those with pulseless electrical activity (PEA) have the worst outcome. Especially in these patients effective chest compressions according to the guidelines may be the key strategy to improve survival. Recently, a novel automatic mechanical chest compression device (LUCAS-CPR) has been shown to ensure effective continuous compressions without interru...
