BACKGROUND: A defibrillator should be connected to all patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to allow early defibrillation. The defibrillator will collect signal data such as the electrocardiogram (ECG), thoracic impedance and end-tidal CO2 , which allows for research on how patients demonstrate different responses to CPR. The aim of this review is to give an overview of methodological challenges and opportunities in using defibrillator data for research. METHODS: The successful collection of defibrillator files has several challenges...

BACKGROUND: It is proposed that patients in single-occupancy patient rooms (SPRs) carry a risk of less surveillance by nursing and medical staff and that resuscitation teams need longer to arrive in case of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Higher incidences of IHCA and worse outcomes after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) may be the result. OBJECTIVES: Our study examines whether there is a difference in incidence and outcomes of IHCA before and after the transition from a hospital with multibedded rooms to solely SPRs...

BACKGROUND: Paediatric cardiac arrest outcomes, especially for infants, remain poor. Due to different training, resource differences, and historical reasons, paediatric cardiac arrest algorithms for various Asia countries vary. While there has been a common basic life support algorithm for adults by the Resuscitation Council of Asia (RCA), there is no common RCA algorithm for paediatric life support.We aimed to review published paediatric life support guidelines from different Asian resuscitation councils...

Background and Objectives: Despite advancements in modern medicine, the survival rate of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains low. The proportion of OHCA patients who could be saved under ideal circumstances is unknown. A significant portion of patients experience cardiac arrest due to irreversible conditions. The survival of patients with reversible causes depends on the prompt initiation of basic life support (BLS) and early defibrillation. In order to increase the chances of survival, the motorcycle paramedic (MP) project was implemented in Ljubljana in 2003...

INTRODUCTION: A broad range of pathophysiologic conditions can lead to cardiopulmonary arrest in children. Some of these children suffer from refractory cardiac arrest, not responding to basic and advanced life support. Extracorporeal-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (E-CPR) might be a life-saving option for this group. Currently this therapy is only performed in-hospital, often necessitating long transport times, thereby negatively impacting eligibility and chances of survival. We present the first two cases of prehospital E-CPR in children performed by regular Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS)...

BACKGROUND: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) still leads to dismal outcomes worldwide. The crucial gap between cardiac arrest and advanced life support can only be filled by bystander-CPR. However, knowledge and willingness of the public towards basic life support (BLS) remain low. Global and national initiatives for awareness building and CPR training have produced promising improvements, but an additional focus on regional initiatives might be necessary to truly implement change...

Targeted temperature management (TTM) has been partially applied in patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA). In the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines, TTM is used as advanced life support after ROSC for the treatment of patients with CPR. TTM has a protective effect on cardiac function after CA, but the specific mechanism of its protective effect on cardiac function remains unclear. In this paper, the basic experimental progress, clinical trial progress and development prospect of TTM on the protective mechanism of cardiac function after CA are reviewed...

The scenario presented is of a patient in the dental chair who had history of myocardial infarction and history of stent placed in the left anterior descending coronary artery who now presents with acute chest pain, chest tightness, and extreme dizziness. Confirming cardiopulmonary arrest and beginning basic life support are the first steps in the management followed by defibrillation, advanced cardiac life support, post-resuscitation care, and long-term management.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in Europe. High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and guidelines compliance of rescuers have been associated with better outcomes after cardiac arrest. However, wide variability in attempting bystander CPR manoeuvres has been reported. Educational programmes for teaching CPR to medical students and fellows are highly advisable in this context. However, there is no homogeneity regarding the CPR education offered by academic institutions. We surveyed 208 Italian medical students and 162 fellows in cardiology regarding the educational offer and needs in CPR...

Maternal mortality is a major public health issue globally. The exact incidence of maternal cardiac arrest (CA) is uncertain in developing countries like India as there is a paucity of reliable maternal registries. CA in pregnancy is rare and requires a multidisciplinary team well versed in the cascade of steps during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in managing such patients. Here we report a case of a 29-year-old primigravida at 29 weeks antenatal woman in cardiac arrest in which CPR with advanced care life support was initiated and resuscitative hysterotomy was performed within 4 minutes of no return of spontaneous circulation, which helped in the revival of the patient...

Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is an uncommon but severe complication of pregnancy or during the first few weeks after giving birth. Our intention was to thoroughly analyze the information available to its management methods. Significant bleeding of mother survival and early deliveries in fetal survivals were having hemorrhage and were having key outcomes. We found 127 severe PE cases that have had at least one form of treatment (at least 83% big; 23% with cardiac arrest). The 83 women who received thrombolysis had a 94% (95%) survival rate...
