Background Therapeutic cooling initiated during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (intra arrest therapeutic hypothermia, IATH) provided diverging effect on neurological outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac (OHCA) patients depending the initial rhythm and methods used. Methods We performed a systematic search PubMed, EMBASE CENTRAL databases using established Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms for ...

Introduction: Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and bony thorax will deform conduct driving force during cardiac arrest (CA). The association between short-term prognosis deformation of adult for patients acquired return spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was unclear. Method: Clinical records CT images were collected from eligible admitted to the hospit...

Aim of the studyEEG slow wave activity (SWA) has shown prognostic potential in post-resuscitation care. In this prospective study, we investigated accuracy continuously measured early SWA for prediction outcome comatose cardiac arrest (CA) survivors.MethodsWe recorded EEG with a disposable self-adhesive frontal electrode and wireless device starting from ICU admission until 48 h return spontane...

AIM OF THE STUDY Intrathoracic pressure regulation (IPR) is a novel, noninvasive therapy intended to increase cardiac output and blood pressure in hypotensive states by generating a negative end expiratory pressure of -12 cm H2O between positive pressure ventilations. In this first feasibility case-series, we tested the hypothesis that IPR improves End tidal (ET) CO2 during cardiopulmonary resu...

Traditionally, most cases of nicotine poisoning have been due to ingestion pesticides. However, the increasing use electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has resulted in both intentional and unintentional exposure concentrated liquid or “eliquid” leading an increase cases. fatalities following e-liquid are extremely rare. We report a rare case cardiac arrest severe encephalopathy e-liquid. presen...

OBJECTIVE Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients unresponsive to basic life support are frequently transferred to emergency departments (EDs) for further resuscitation. Although some survive with good neurologic outcomes, additional resuscitation in EDs is often futile. Without a dedicated termination of resuscitation (TOR) rule for ED resuscitation, the decision when to stop the resusc...

BACKGROUND Optimizing resuscitation is important to prevent morbidity and mortality from perinatal asphyxia. The metabolism of cells and tissues is severely disturbed during asphyxia and resuscitation, and metabolomic analyses provide a snapshot of many small molecular weight metabolites in body fluids or tissues. In this study metabolomics profiles were studied in newborn pigs that were asphyx...

INTRODUCTION Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is currently considered superior to supraglottic airway devices (SGA) for survival and other outcomes among adults with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We aimed to determine if the research supports this conclusion by conducting a systematic review. METHODS We searched the MEDLINE, Scopus and CINAHL databases for studies publishe...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association among signalment, health status, other clinical variables, and treatments and events during cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) for animals with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in a veterinary teaching hospital. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. ANIMALS 161 dogs and 43 cats with CPA. PROCEDURES Dat...

The Lazarus phenomenon or the unassisted return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest is a grossly underreported phenomenon in medical literature which essentially implies the 'resurrection' of an individual after cardiac arrest. Although there have been a handful of such cases reported, the clinical incidence and significance may be underestimated. Because of the presumed infrequency...
