While this has been an essential tool in achieving the best survivability on a battlefield in our history, the by-product of this experience is a recognized shortcoming in current protocols and capabilities of Special Forces medics for prolonged ca...

Outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the emergency department

Objective: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in the prevention of death or delaying it in a person with cardiac arrest.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients with cardiopulmonary arrest or arrhythmias admitted to Imam Reza and Sina ed...

What is optimal cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique for children?

We present optimal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) technique based on body weight using optimal control theory. The validated blood circulation model of CPR has been modified for various body weights by the scaling law. The external chest and abdomen pressures are chosen as controls and the goal is to maximize the mean systemic perfusion pressure (SPP). The numerical results show that four ...

Damage control resuscitation: A case of thoraco-abdominal impalement.

Damage Control Resuscitation and Surgery is the concept of controlled hypotension, haemostatic resuscitation and abbreviated surgical procedures following severe trauma; the practice of which has resulted in improved mortality and morbidity. We describe a rare case of thoraco-abdominal impalement successfully managed based on the concept of Damage Control Resuscitation.
