Context: This study aimed to provide an overview of cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) training methods for nurses in Iran and introduce some innovations using improve nurses’ knowledge skills clinical settings. Cardiac arrest is one the most common causes death worldwide. Evidence shows that despite support improving treating cardiac recent years, overall survival rate after it stil...

BACKGROUND Optimal acceptable time intervals from collapse to bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for neurologically favorable outcome among adults with witnessed out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) have been unclear. Our aim was to assess the optimal acceptable thresholds of the time intervals of CPR for neurologically favorable outcome and survival using a recursive partiti...

Blood-brain barrier integrity during cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be important because of the potential effects of adrenergic agonists administered during arrest on cerebral metabolism and the cerebral vasculature. As an index of blood-brain barrier permeability to small molecules, we measured the brain uptake of [14C]alpha-aminoisobutyric acid during a 10-minute period in 25 anesthetized ...

External cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a potentially lifesaving intervention aimed at preserving the cerebral function of a person in cardiac arrest. However, certain injuries can be caused by the various techniques employed. Although these are seldom consequential, they may complicate the forensic evaluation of cases. Fractures of the ribs and sternum are the most common internal injuries a...

background: the purpose of our study was to determine the effect of n-acetylcysteine (nac) administered after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) on renal function of the survived patients. methods: in this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 44 patients who experienced cardiopulmonary arrest and underwent successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) were entered into the stu...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether use of the active compression-decompression device improves the haemodynamics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared with those of conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation. DESIGN Prospective crossover study. SETTING The accident and emergency department of a university teaching hospital. PATIENTS 36 adult patients with non-traumatic, normothermic, out of...

OBJECTIVE Encouraging results of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for patients with refractory cardiac arrest have been shown. However, the independent impact on the neurologic outcome remains unknown in the out-of-hospital population. Our objective was to compare the neurologic outcome following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation and conventional cardiopulmonary resuscita...

objective(s): the aim of this study wasto investigate the effects of mild hypothermia therapy on oxidative stress injury of rabbit brain tissue after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr). materials and methods: rabbit models of cardiac arrest were established. after the restoration of spontaneous circulation, 50 rabbits were randomly divided into normothermia and hypothermia groups. the followin...
