Acute pulmonary thromboembolism is a catastrophic event, especially for hospitalized patients. The prognosis of pulmonary thromboembolism depends on the degree of pulmonary arterial occlusion. The mortality of massive pulmonary embolism is reportedly as high as 25% without cardiopulmonary arrest and 65% with cardiopulmonary arrest. In patients with unstable hemodynamics due to pulmonary thrombo...

Aim: Cardiopulmonary arrest is an important public health problem that contributes substantially to in-hospital morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed determine the factors affect mortality whether intubation survival among patients experiencing cardiopulmonary arrest. Material Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional was conducted by examining event notification forms of all with...

BACKGROUND Survival trends after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) for cardiac arrest in nonelderly adults is not well known. Influence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines on nationwide survival after ICPR is yet to be well elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined survival trends and factors associated with survival after ICPR in nonelderly adults aged 18 to 64 years...

introduction: myelograghy is a process of instilling contrast medium to the subarachnoid space for evaluating the spinal column by radiography. there are various contrast solutions for different radiographic studies but not all of them are suitable for spinal column evaluation. conclusions: our subject recovered completely without any sequelae after receiving appropriate treatment in a multidis...

Background—Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be useful in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, little is known about the combination of ECMO and intra-arrest PCI. This study investigated the efficacy of rapid-response ECMO and intra-arrest PCI in patients with cardiac arrest complicated by acute coronary syndrome who were unresponsive...

OBJECTIVE Despite advances in medical care, survival to discharge and full neurologic recovery after cardiac arrest remains less than 20% after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. An alternate approach to traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation is extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which places patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and prov...

OBJECTIVE To analyse the present day characteristics and outcome of cardio-respiratory arrest in children in Spain. DESIGN An 18-month prospective, multicentre study analysing out-of-hospital and in-hospital cardio-respiratory arrest in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred and eighty-three children between 7 days and 17 years of age with cardio-respiratory arrest. Data were recorded a...

The European Resuscitation Council has produced these basic life support guidelines, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus Cardiopulmonary Science with Treatment Recommendations. topics covered include cardiac arrest recognition, alerting emergency services, chest compressions, rescue breaths, automated external defibrillation (AED), CPR quality measurement, new technologies, safe...

Epidural steroid injection is a common treatment for the management of pain in a wide variety of patients. It is generally well tolerated and perceived to have few side effects, with a low risk of serious complications. Only a handful of reports exist that describe life-threatening complications such as subdural hematoma, respiratory depression, vasovagal response, and pneumocephalus. This is a...
