Objectives The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a machine learning prediction model for the prognosis non-cardiogenic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with an initial non-shockable rhythm.

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the clinical profile of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest using the Utstein style. Methods: This study is an observational, prospective, longitudinal study of patients with cardiac arrest treated in intensive care units over a period of 1 year. Results: The study included 89 patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation man...

Aims Mechanical chest compression (CC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with AutoPulse or LUCAS devices has not improved survival from cardiac arrest. Cohort studies suggest risk of excess damage. We studied safety of mechanical CC and determined possible excess damage compared with manual CC. Methods and results This is a randomized non-inferiority safety study. Randomization to Au...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown improving survival after cardiac arrest. However, data regarding sex-based disparities in treatment and outcomes after cardiac arrest are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients suffering cardiac arrest between 2003 and 2012 using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. Annual rates of cardiac arrest, rates of u...

Prehospital cardiac arrest has been associated with a very poor prognosis. Acute myocardial infarction and massive pulmonary embolism are the underlying causes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 50-70% of patients. Although fibrinolysis is an effective treatment strategy for both myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism, clinical experience for this therapy performed during resuscitation ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the use and feasibility of therapeutic hypothermia after pediatric cardiac arrest. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Pediatric tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS Infants and children (age 1 wk to 21 yrs) without complex congenital heart disease with return of spontaneous circulation after in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from 2000 to 20...

The effect of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was studied in 2142 emergency medical service (EMS) cardiac arrest runs. When bystander CPR was administered to cardiac arrest victims, 22.9% of the victims survived until they were admitted to the hospital and 11.9% were discharged alive. In comparison, the statistics for cardiac arrest victims who did not receive bystander CPR were 1...

The most common causes of severe head injuries are motor vehicle accidents and falls from a height that cause cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest resulted in the patient being unconscious, no breathing, pulse. incidence is mostly because hypoxic. Patients with characterized by Gasglow Coma Scale (GCS) 8 or less. who often have decreased oxygen saturation should require definitive airway to prevent d...

The results are presented of 2 1/2 years of experience of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests who were resuscitated in an accident and emergency department (A&E) attached to an acute district hospital in Hong Kong. Out of 263 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as a result of a variety of causes only seven patients survived (3%) and among the 135 patients with cardiac aetiology on...

OUT-OF-HOSPITAL CARDIAC arrest survival remains poor in most jurisdictions more than 30 years after Pantridge and Geddes introduced the concept of providing advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) care to patients with cardiac arrest outside of the hospital setting with mobile intensive care vehicles in Belfast. Reported cardiac arrest survival rates range from 1% to 20%, and this variation can be...
