Background The mechanisms that underlie cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in humans remain controversial and difficult to study. This report describes a new human model to evaluate CPR during the first 1 to 2 minutes after the onset of ventricular fibrillation (VF). With this model, standard CPR was compared with active compression-decompression (ACD) CPR, a method that uses a handheld suctio...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is defined as a sudden and unexpected secondary to cardiovascular cause. In many cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers can achieve recovery of the patient, which then called resuscitated SCD. We present case an adolescent with SCD, who finally died refractory cardiogenic shock, fibromuscular dysplasia coronary arteries.

BACKGROUND Hospitalized infants requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) represent a high-risk group. Recent data on risk factors for mortality following CPR in this population are lacking. AIMS We hypothesized that infant demographic characteristics, diagnoses, and levels of cardiopulmonary support at the time of CPR requirement would be associated with survival to hospital discharge fo...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a simple and effective medical treatment for sudden cardiac arrest patients. Because of those existing interferences in the experiments, most of the animal experiments and the CPRs in vivo studies get contradictory conclusions. In this report, according to the current theories of CPR, we got a CPR model; simulated various CPR technologies, and compared the...

Several time-related variables involving resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were studied. Short time intervals from collapse to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to provision of definitive care were significantly associated with survival from cardiac arrest. The two times were jointly related, and one short time without the other was unlikely to result in surv...

The European Resuscitation Council has produced these basic life support guidelines, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus Cardiopulmonary Science with Treatment Recommendations. topics covered include cardiac arrest recognition, alerting emergency services, chest compressions, rescue breaths, automated external defibrillation (AED), CPR quality measurement, new technologies, safe...

The advent of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) revolutionized the care of patients with cardiac arrest, now allowing survival of up to 30% after out-of-hospital arrest due to arrhythmia; however, outcomes for cardiac arrest after trauma remain dismal, with less than 10% survival despite the most aggressive modern resuscitation techniques. The short time interval between cardiac arrest and br...

Introduction In the Capital Region of Denmark the physician-staffed Mobile Emergency Care Unit (MECU) is dispatched to all of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). OHCA is treated at the scene and patients are either successfully resuscitated at scene or resuscitation is not successful and the patient declared dead [1]. In a limited number of cases initial resuscitation is not successful and ...
