Covariates of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) in Adults
… cardiac arrest remains the third leading cause of death in the United States, with approximately 200,000 adult cardiac arrests occurring in the hospital setting. Nearly 50% of the patients who experience an inhospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) achieve a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC); …

Clinical characteristics of acute brain swelling in patients with successfully resuscitated from non-traumatic out of hospital cardiac arrest
The number of cardiac arrest patients who were resuscitated has been increasing as the development of emergency medical service. Brain swelling is often found in the patients with return of spontaneous circulation. This study is going to identify risk factor for brain swelling and its frequency, …

Prehospital Care of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients
PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcome of the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and the emergency medical service system. METHODS: From October 2001 to September 2003,we collected data about all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients visited our emergency medical center. Data were collected with our …

LUCAS - Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System
… to normal anatomical position with a frequency of 100 per minute, and a duty cycle of 50%, i.e., LUCAS is constructed to give chest compressions according to the latest international guidelines in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The aim of the thesis was to study cardiac arrest using …

Obstacles to perform high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rate of patients in Korea is lower than the global average and it might be caused by extremely low rate of return of spontaneous circulation in prehospital field. The authors identified the obstacles that disturb on-scene cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) …

Mortality Risk Among Patients Who Present to Hospitals with Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest and ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
In the emergent setting of an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), decisions for immediate coronary angiography are made when the likelihood of survival is highly variable and unknown. A simple prognostic tool that can identify …

The Use of High-Fidelity Simulation in Training Nurses on the Delivery of Targeted Temperature Management After Cardiac Arrest
The delivery of targeted temperature management (TTM) is recommended for cardiac arrest patients with specific initial rhythms after the return of spontaneous circulation. Some hospitals have established institutional TTM protocols based on national guidelines. Yet, successful implementation of an …

Alignment of Do-Not-Resuscitate Status with Patients’ Likelihood of Favorable Neurological Survival After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
… function to ensure autonomy and quality of life. Whether patients’ decisions to become Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) after a successful resuscitation are aligned with the likelihood of favorable neurological survival is unknown. Within Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation, a prospective, …

Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock
… arrest but the outcome is still poor and 50-70% of patients do not survive despite successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The cause of death is multifactorial. The majority of patients die from brain injury, but up to 35% die as a result of circulatory failure. Purpose: First, to …
