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...

BACKGROUND Although an in-hospital cardiac arrest is common, little is known about readmission patterns and an inpatient resource use among survivors of an in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS AND RESULTS Within a large national registry, we examined long-term inpatient use among 6972 adults aged ≥65 years who survived an in-hospital cardiac arrest. We examined 30-day and 1-year readmission ra...

The U.S. national out-of-hospital and in-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates, although improving recently, have remained suboptimal despite the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and professional societies. Only until very recently, and still with inconsistency, has focus been placed specifically on survival with pre-arrest neurologic function. The reality of current approaches ...

this report details the presence of hyperammonemia in a patient who sustained cardiac arrest after a traumatic amputation. serum ammonia levels may rise due to numerous etiologies; however, few reports detail its usefulness in diagnosing subclinical seizures. in this case, we successfully utilized persistently elevated serum ammonia levels as a marker of subclinical seizures in a patient who su...

INTRODUCTION Dextrose may be used during cardiac arrest resuscitation to prevent or reverse hypoglycemia. However, the incidence of dextrose administration during cardiac arrest and the association of dextrose administration with survival and other outcomes are unknown. METHODS We used the Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation national registry to identify adult patients with an in-hospital ...

Rates of survival and complete physiological recovery following in-hospital cardiac arrest are poor in all age groups. For example, fewer than 20% of adult patients having an in-hospital cardiac arrest will survive to go home. Cardiac arrest is rare in both pregnant women and children, but outcomes after in-hospital arrest are also poor. Preventative strategies for each of these groups will be ...

INTRODUCTION Hypothermia improves neurologic recovery compared to normothermia after resuscitation from out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation, but may or may not be beneficial for patients resuscitated from in-hospital cardiac arrest. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of induced hypothermia in a large cohort of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS Retrospective analysis of mu...

A 13-item score predicted survival to discharge with good neurologic status after CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest Ebell MH, Jang W, Shen Y, Geocadin RG; Get with the Guidelines– Resuscitation Investigators. Development and validation of the Good Outcome Following Attempted Resuscitation (GO-FAR) score to predict neurologically intact survival after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. ...
