Background: Patients experiencing cardiac arrest outside medical facilities are at greater risk of death and might have negative outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation duration affects survival such patients, which suggests that CPR may be vital to patient Objectives: The study aims evaluate the impact cardiopulmonary on patients who suffered out-of-hospital arrest.

AIM (1) To identify risk factors for in-hospital cardiac arrest; (2) to formulate activation criteria to alert a clinical response culminating in attendance by a Medical Emergency Team (MET); (3) to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the scoring system. METHODS Quasi-experimental design to determine prevalence of risk factors for cardiac arrest in the hospitalised population. Weighti...

Mutation or common intronic variants in cardiac ion channel genes have been suggested to be associated with sudden cardiac death caused by idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. This study aimed to find mutations in cardiac ion channel genes of Korean sudden cardiac arrest patients with structurally normal heart and to verify association between common genetic variation in cardiac ion channel ...

INTRODUCTION Exercise-related cardiac arrest is uncommon, however it is devastating when it occurs in otherwise healthy adults. This study aims to identify the characteristics of exercise-related cardiac arrest in the study population and estimate the overall survival rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective observational study of exercise-related cardiac arrest in Singapore. Patie...

The influence of age and gender on delay to treatment its association with survival after out hospital cardiac arrest.

AIMS Survival to hospital discharge after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) varies widely. This study describes short-term survival after OHCA in a region with an extensive care path and a follow-up of 1 year. METHODS Consecutive patients ≥16 years admitted to the emergency department between April 2011 and December 2012 were included. In July 2014 a follow-up took place. Socio-demographi...

allergic reaction to local anesthetics is very rare and most of the reported cases are due to ester local anesthetics. this case presents a parturient who experienced cardiac arrest due to hypersensitivity reaction to lidocaine after epidural injection for cesrarean section.

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...

Care by Gräsner and colleagues that strongly emphasizes the importance of encouraging attempts at cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest caused by severe trauma [1]. Despite the interesting content, in our opinion the results presented by Gräsner and colleagues suff er by being derived from databases designed for diff erent purposes (Cardiac Arrest Registry and Trauma Registry). ...

BACKGROUND Despite advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the education of its providers, survival remains dismal for cancer patients suffering in-hospital cardiac arrest. In an effort to determine if characteristics of cardiac arrest would represent a useful parameter for prognostication and recommendations regarding the suitability of ongoing resuscitation for various groups, this revi...
