Implementation of cardiac emergency response plan in primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong: A cross‐sectional survey of local physical education teachers

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Background Sudden cardiac arrests at school are rare but devastating events among student athletes, with significant psychosocial impact on teachers and students. The American Heart Association advocates for Cardiac Emergency Response Plans (CERP) to improve survival, yet evidence from Asia remains limited.

Regional deprivation and out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest outcomes: Moderated mediation by call‐to‐emergency department time and bystander resuscitation

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Background To evaluate whether delayed emergency department (ED) arrival mediates the association between regional deprivation and outcomes after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and whether this mediation differs by bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Effects of Dispatcher‐Assisted Public‐Access Defibrillation Programs on the Outcomes of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Before‐and‐After Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Public access defibrillation (PAD) programs have been implemented globally over the past decade. Although PAD can substantially increase the survival of cardiac arrest, PAD use remains low. This study aimed to evaluate whether drawing upon the

Pre‐Excited Atrial Fibrillation Degenerating Into Ventricular Fibrillation Captured by an Automated External Defibrillator

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
An automated external defibrillator (AED) captured the real‐time transition from pre‐excited atrial fibrillation to ventricular fibrillation in a previously undiagnosed patient with WPW syndrome. This case highlights the malignant potential of rapidly conducting accessory pathways.

Public Knowledge and Attitudes towards Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in China [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2017
The rate of bystander CPR is much lower in China than in developed countries. This survey was implemented to assess the current status of layperson CPR training, to analyze the willingness of bystanders to perform CPR, and to identify barriers to improving bystander CPR rates.

Pulmonary Infiltrates, Airway Mucosal Lesions and Respiratory Microbiology After Freshwater Drowning: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Early pulmonary opacities, inflammatory biomarker elevation and positive respiratory microbiology after freshwater drowning should be interpreted together and do not alone prove bacterial pneumonia. In this patient, early respiratory sampling, serial CT improvement and clinical stability supported a limited antimicrobial course without escalation or ...

Dexamethasone Versus Placebo in Comatose Survivors of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Study Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Comparison Within the Danish Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Trial (DANOHCA)

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The inflammatory response to whole‐body ischemia, as seen in comatose survivors after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Early high‐dose dexamethasone may dampen the inflammatory response, which may diminish secondary brain damage and other organ injury and decrease mortality.

The Danish Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Trial: A Statistical Analysis Plan

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Post‐cardiac arrest care for patients resuscitated from out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) includes multiple pharmacological and physiological interventions, yet optimal strategies to reduce post‐cardiac arrest syndrome–related morbidity and mortality remain uncertain.
