Cardiac Arrest: A Treatment Algorithm for Emergent Invasive Cardiac Procedures in the Resuscitated Comatose Patient.
Patients who are comatose after cardiac arrest continue to be a challenge, with high mortality. Although there is an American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Class I recommendation for performing immediate angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (when indicated) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, no guidelines exist for patients w...
متن کاملCare of patient resuscitated from cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major cause of death with survival rates as low as 5% to 35%. A large number of patients who survive resuscitation will face significant neurological damage, as a result of the ischemia that occurs both during cardiac arrest and reperfusion. However understanding of the mechanisms responsible for brain damage has not resulted in prog...
متن کاملCardiac Rehabilitation After Acute Myocardial Infarction Resuscitated From Cardiac Arrest
OBJECTIVE To examine the safety and effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation on patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction. METHODS The study included 23 subjects, including 8 with history of cardiac arrest and 15 without history of cardiac arrest. Both groups underwent initial graded exercise test (GXT) and subsequent cardiac rehabilitation for 6 weeks. After...
متن کاملPrehospital resuscitated cardiac arrest patients: role for induced hypothermia.
This article is a support paper for the National Association of EMS Physicians' position paper on induced therapeutic hypothermia in resuscitated cardiac arrest patients. Induced hypothermia is one of the newest treatments aimed at increasing the dismal neurologically intact survival rate for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Two landmark studies published in 2002 by the New England Jour...
متن کاملRole of cardiac troponin in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Troponin is a major diagnostic criterion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, its diagnostic value may be altered by cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS Single-centre study assessing the diagnostic characteristics of troponin for AMI diagnosis in consecutive patients resuscitated from OHCA between 2002 and 2008 with coronary...
