Cardiac arrest during pregnancy is a dedicated chapter in the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care; however, a robust maternal cardiac arrest knowledge translation strategy and emergency response plan is not usually the focus of institutional emergency preparedness programs. Although maternal cardiac arrest is rare, the emerge...

Ma 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 patient...

Hypothermic arrest, potassium arrest, and ischemic arrest, either singly or in combination, with or without coronary perfusion were studied in an isolated perfused rat heart preparation. Procedures that permitted the maintenance of high cellular levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate during arrest, e.g., coronary perfusion with hypothermic solutions or solutions containin...

arrest mutants have pleiotropic phenotypes, ranging from an early arrest of oogenesis to irregular embryonic segmentation defects. One function of arrest is in translational repression of oskar mRNA; this biochemical activity is presumed to be involved in other functions of arrest. To identify genes that could provide insight into how arrest contributes to translational repression or that may b...

Despite promising observational data, randomised controlled trials examining the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-facilitated cardiopulmonary resuscitation have been lacking.1Holmberg M.J.

Controlled reperfusion by monitoring the blood pressure, flow, and specific parameters during extracorporeal after cardiac arrest has potential to limit ischemia–reperfusion injury. The intracellular calcium overload as part of injury provides possibility for be counteracted early suppression serum with aim improving survival neurological outcome. We investigated effects prolonged via sodium ci...
