cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cmri) is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases. we describe a multi-modality imaging evaluation of a 45-year-old man who experienced a near drowning event during swimming. we underline the unique capability of ti...

results according to the studies reviewed, induction of mild hypothermia in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation would lead to increased survival and better neurological outcome; however, studies on the complications of hypothermia or different methods of inducing hypothermia were limited and needed to be studied further. conclusions this study provides strategic issues concerning the i...

Objective: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in the prevention of death or delaying it in a person with cardiac arrest. In this regard, demographic information about patients who need CPR is vital. Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients with cardiopulmonary arrest or arrhythmias admitted to Imam Reza and Sina ed...

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...

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: Previous studies have shown that several factors affect the outcome of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In this study, we have evaluated the factors associated with the outcome of resuscitation in in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest patients (IHCA) 002E. Methods: This cross-sectional non-probability study was performed on patients with in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest between 2015 a...

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.

Mrs. Heidari, 53 developed ventricular fibrillation and cardiopulmonary arrest after receiving 15 mL lidocaine 2% for local anesthesia at the Dr. Shariati Hospital Cathlab. There was no identified risk factor for her arrest preoperatively. She had a history of exertional chest pain for about 5 years and an electrocardiogram showed only inverted T-waves at the time of angiography. The case i...

OBJECTIVES Describe the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation as rescue therapy in pediatric patients who experience cardiopulmonary arrest refractory to conventional resuscitation. We report on outcomes and factors associated with survival in children treated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation during cardiopulmonary arrest from the American Heart Association Nation...
