PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize recent advances in pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest prevention, resuscitation and postresuscitation management. RECENT FINDINGS Pediatric cardiac arrest has traditionally been considered a futile medical condition with dismal outcomes. Data in the 21st century indicate that more than 25% of children treated for in-hospital cardiac arrests survive to hospital dis...

Background and aims: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) success rate is an important issue for allhealthcare facilities. In the present study, success rate and related factors were assessed in a hospitalin Iran.Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2017. By using the conveniencesampling, 156 patients were selected. Variables based on the In-Hosp...

PURPOSE Sudden cardiac arrest is a common emergency condition found in the emergency department of the hospital. The survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients is 2.0%-10.0% and 7.4%-27.0% percent for in-hospital cardiac arrest patients. The factors for survival outcome are divided into three main groups: patient characteristics, pre-hospital factors, and resuscitated information....

to date, stem cell therapy is a novel treatment method especially in irreversible end organ damage. we present a case of a 21-yr-old man, who admitted in sina hospital, tehran university of medical sciences, iran with open left femur fracture following car accident. developing fat emboli syndrome led to cardiac arrest. despite of efforts to optimize supportive care and neuroprotective strategie...

conclusions ia fluid resuscitation is superior to iv resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock induced cardiac arrest. results while iv rl infusion failed to restore chest motion in mice (n = 5), ia rl infusion restored chest motion in all mice examined (n = 6) (p = 0.0067). in three mice, iv rl infusion after cardiac arrest showed no effect on cc. after failure of venous infusion, ia rl infusion was ...

Introduction A one-size-fits-all approach to adrenaline dosing is likely be sub-optimal for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest given the diverse nature of patient age, bodyweight, frailty and intra-arrest coronary perfusion pressure. An individualised using invasive blood pressure monitoring has been shown increase rates return spontaneous circulation in hospital setting, but evidence this not yet ...

OBJECTIVE To report the incidence, characteristics and outcome of adult in-hospital cardiac arrest in the United Kingdom (UK) National Cardiac Arrest Audit database. METHODS A prospectively defined analysis of the UK National Cardiac Arrest Audit (NCAA) database. 144 acute hospitals contributed data relating to 22,628 patients aged 16 years or over receiving chest compressions and/or defibril...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The objective was to analyze the characteristics and prognostic factors of in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest in Spain. METHODS A prospective observational study was performed to examine in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest. Two hundred children were studied, aged between 1 month and 18 years, with in-hospital cardiac arrest. Univariate and multivariate logistic ...
