  2. Predictors of survival in cardiac arrest

    Al-Dury, Nooraldeen2021

    Cardiac arrest (CA) refers to the cessation of cardiac function. Survival is around 30% for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), and 10% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Many factors influence survival, ranging from the patient’s age, gender and comorbidities, to the conditions surrounding …

    Annborn, MartinAnaesthesiology and Intensive Care2014

    … Some improvement 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 …

  9. Pharmacologically Replicating Metabolic Protective Mechanisms of Hypothermia in Cardiac Arrest

    Cody N Justice (24399056)2026

    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 …

  10. Aspects of post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

    Martinell, Louise2017

    Background: Cardiac disease is the most common cause of death in the western world and the majority of these deaths are due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In Sweden, approximately 10,000 persons suffer an OHCA annually and in 5000 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is initiated. The …

    Quinn, CarrieUniversity of Kansas2012

    Cardiac arrest causes whole-body ischemic injury and cell death. Successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation paradoxically confounds recovery by increasing the rate of cellular death and tissue damage through global reperfusion injury. Despite decades of basic and clinical research, the prognosis …
