BACKGROUND: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death, and survival outcomes vary across countries and regions. To improve survival, the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines encourage the implementation of technologies like smartphone applications to alert voluntary first responders (VFRs) who are near a suspected OHCA. VFRs are of great importance in the ´chain of survival´, but there is still a lack of knowledge about their experiences; especially of those operating in rural areas...

OBJECTIVES: With more elderly presenting with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCAs) globally, neurologically intact survival (NIS) should be the aim of resuscitation. We aimed to study the trend of OHCA amongst elderly in a large Asian registry to identify if age is independently associated with NIS and factors associated with NIS. METHODS: All adult OHCAs aged ≥18 years attended by emergency medical services (EMS) from April 2010 to December 2019 in Singapore was extracted from the Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) registry...

Chemokines, a family of chemotactic cytokines, mediate leukocyte migration to and entrance into inflamed tissue, contributing to the intensity of local inflammation. We performed an analysis of chemokine and immune cell responses to cardiac arrest (CA). Forty-two patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest were analyzed, and twenty-two patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery were enrolled. Quantitative antibody array, chemokines, and endotoxin quantification were performed using the patients blood...

Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving procedure that can be performed in many situations where a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped, such as during a heart attack, suffocation, near drowning, or electrical injuries. Despite its importance, to our knowledge, no research has been conducted yet in our community on the differences in CPR knowledge, attitudes, and willingness between those with and without heart disease relatives. Objective This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and willingness of people with and without heart disease relatives to perform CPR in a case of cardiac arrest...

The characteristics of an individual patient experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who recovered spontaneous circulation with the assistance of witnesses and paramedics were examined. The analysis of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the professional first aid efforts of paramedics in the pre-hospital environment is pivotal to enhancing the survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. The data used in this study were extracted from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) nationally recognized statistics, Acute Heart Failure big data survey...

BACKGROUND: Early recognition of cardiac arrest and early initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation can increase the survival of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We compared dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DACPR) effectiveness before and after using different communication models in the dispatching center. METHOD: We analyzed dispatch recordings of non-trauma origin OHCA cases received by the Taichung dispatch center between May 1 to September 30, 2021, and November 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022...

AIMS: Guidelines support family-witnessed resuscitation (FWR) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in hospital if deemed to be safe, yet barriers amongst healthcare professionals (HCPs) still exist. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an educational online video intervention on nurses' and physicians' attitudes towards in-hospital FWR and their self-confidence in managing such situations. METHODS AND RESULTS: A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental study was conducted October 2022 to March 2023 at six Swedish hospitals involving the departments of emergency care, medicine, and surgery...

OBJECTIVES: Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Limited data exist to guide timing and method of neurologic prognostication after pediatric OHCA, making counseling on withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies (WLSTs) challenging. This study investigates the timing and mode of death after pediatric OHCA and factors associated with mortality. Additionally, this study explores delayed recovery after comatose examination on day 3 postarrest...

Weiying Yang, Dongyue Jiang, Ruirui Li, Lichao Sun
Food-borne botulism is a rare but potentially fatal illness. Its management depends on rapid diagnosis and prompt antitoxin administration. However, diagnosing food-borne botulism can be challenging at an early stage. Here, we report a 62-year-old male with food-borne botulism. The patient presented with extremity muscle weakness, dyspnea, bilateral droopy eyelids (more significant on the right side), dysarthria, and progressive dysphagia. The electromyography indicated presynaptic membrane abnormalities. The toxicology screen reported a positive result for botulinum toxin type A...

Currently, many hospitals use vital signs-based criteria such as modified early warning score (MEWS) and national early warning score (NEWS) to classify high-risk patients for cardiac arrest, but there are limitations in selecting high-risk patients with a possibility of cardiac arrest. The purpose of this study is to develop a cardiac arrest classification model to identify patients at high risk of cardiac arrest based on the patient family and past history, and blood test results after hospitalization, rather than vital signs...

BACKGROUND: Despite significant progress in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-cardiac arrest care, favorable outcome in out-of hospital sudden cardiac arrest patients remains low. One of the main reasons for mortality in these patients is withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. There is a need for precise and equitable prognostication tools to support families in avoiding premature or inappropriate WLST. Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) have been noted for their association with outcome, and are positioned to be a useful modality for prognostication...

INTRODUCTION: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is important for students of health professions to learn and be prepared to perform. Colleges have a responsibility to provide adequate training for their students to ensure that they are ready and confident to deal with life-threatening situations. However, studies have shown that some graduates and practitioners lack sufficient knowledge in performing CPR. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge of health professions students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) who have started clinical practice...
