The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), with representation from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and South America, was formed in 1992 to provide a forum for liaison between resuscitation organizations in the developed world. This consensus document on resuscitation extends previously published ILCOR advisory statements on resuscitation to address th...

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...

BACKGROUND Fluid resuscitation may be detrimental when given before bleeding is controlled in patients with trauma. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of delaying fluid resuscitation until the time of operative intervention in hypotensive patients with penetrating injuries to the torso. METHODS We conducted a prospective trial comparing immediate and delayed fluid resuscit...

Epinephrine is recommended in contemporary educational efforts by the American Heart Association (AHA) as central to adult Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). However, International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) 2019 recommendations update describes large evidentiary gaps for epinephrine use cardiopulmonary resuscitation, highlighting that clinical and experimental evidence do no...

The article discusses a new approach to the formation of universal competencies aimed at teaching communication, teamwork and leadership. Methods are proposed for both theoretical block (Abstract-interview, thematic medical animation) simulation training (teamwork leadership during cardiopulmonary resuscitation) in study discipline "Anesthesiology, resuscitation intensive care".

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The examination of the recent literature aimed at analysing the most recent data that could affect decisions regarding the use of colloids in trauma resuscitation. RECENT FINDINGS Animal data have generally shown a beneficial effect of colloids in trauma resuscitation, with improvements in capillary leak demonstrated in lung, intestine and brain. In most studies, hydroxyethy...

Recognition of the high-risk mother and fetus is an essential component of resuscitation if it is to be organized, accurate, and successful. Although many high-risk factors put the neonate in jeopardy, the first responder or ED physician can plan the initial approach to resuscitation by knowing the answer to three questions: (1) Is there particulate meconium in the amniotic fluid? (2) Is the fe...

BACKGROUND Care of the polytrauma patient does not end in the operating room or resuscitation bay. The patient presenting to the intensive care unit following initial resuscitation and damage control surgery may be far from stable with ongoing hemorrhage, resuscitation needs, and injuries still requiring definitive repair. The intensive care physician must understand the respiratory, cardiovasc...

  Purpose: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an important step for patient survival inside   and outside the hospital. Therefore, the results of CPR can be effective in modifying the structure   of this operation and in eliminating its shortcomings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate   the success rate of CPR in intensive care unit of an Iran’s Army Air Force hospital in 2012.   Mat...
