Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest
… and neurological impairment after cardiac arrest. After the publication of two trials indicating benefit of induced hypothermia, we developed a registry to assess outcome, possible adverse events and conduct of induced hypothermia when this intervention was implemented in a clinical …

Usability of Fall Arrest Harnesses
… option for fall protection is a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). However, full adaption of PFAS is hindered by usability issues, particularly in the harness component. Current research aims to develop design requirements for more usable fall arrest harness. A study was conducted to consider …

Electroencephalography for neurological prognostication after cardiac arrest
… in comatose patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest (CA), using both simplified continuous EEG monitoring (cEEG) and routine EEG. Background: Comatose survivors are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) to support vital functions. Postresuscitation care includes target temperature …

Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome
… for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical decision making. Continuous amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) has been used to predict outcome in …

Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock
… has been seen in survival after cardiac 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 …

Orthopaedic implications of physeal arrest following meningococcal septicaemia
… directed at the treatment of sequelae of growth arrest alone and excluded amputations, contracture releases, skin grafts and flaps. The extent of the surgical problems caused by this disease brought about the realisation that a thorough review of the literature and follow up of these patients was …

An exploration of the recognition of deterioration in ems witnessed cardiac arrest: improving national outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
… suffering EMS witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Scotland. I extracted key findings from these papers, analysed their contribution, and examined the links made to demonstrate their influence on national guidelines and policy development into one progressive and coherent body of …

The growth-arrest-specific protein gas7 potentiates neuronal differentiation
The growth-arrest-specific gas7 protein is involved in neuronal development. Its role in neuronal differentiation and its potential neuroprotective activity were investigated in PC 12 and NT2 cells. gas7 overexpression in PC12 cells promoted neurite outgrowth and potentiated nerve growth …

Prehospital Care of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients
… 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 records based on the …

Pharmacologically Replicating Metabolic Protective Mechanisms of Hypothermia in Cardiac Arrest
New therapies are urgently needed for cardiac arrest which carries a high mortality rate due to cardiovascular collapse and neurological injury. Rapid application of therapeutic hypothermia is one of few therapies which consistently improves neurological outcomes in animal models; however, clinical …
