Effect of time of day on prehospital care and outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND More than 300 000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occur each year in the United States. The relationship between time of day and OHCA outcomes in the prehospital setting is unknown. Any such association may have important implications for emergency medical services resource allocation. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective review of cardiac arrest data from a larg...
متن کاملPrehospital transportation to therapeutic hypothermia centers and survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
BACKGROUND Clinical trials supporting the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in the treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are based on small patient samples and do not reflect the wide variation in patient selection, cooling methods, and other elements of post-arrest care that are used in everyday practice. This study provides a real world evaluation of the effectiveness of post-a...
متن کاملAssociation between prehospital physician involvement and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A Danish nationwide observational study.
AIM Sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an important public health problem. While several interventions are known to improve survival, the impact of physician-delivered advanced cardiac life support for OHCA is unclear. We aimed to assess the association between prehospital physician involvement and 30-day survival. METHODS Observational study including persons registered with fir...

متن کاملPredictors of Long-Term Survival after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest is one of the most important issues related to the safety and quality of patient care, and unexpected events such as failure to follow guidelines can endanger the patient's safety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its predictors in patients with cardiac arrest. Materi...
