The effect of real-time CPR feedback and post event debriefing on patient and processes focused outcomes : a cohort study : trial protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Cardiac arrest affects 30-35, 000 hospitalised patients in the UK every year. For these patients to be given the best chance of survival, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be delivered, however the quality of CPR in real ...

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

open access: yesHong 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

open access: yesHong 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).

Compression-only CPR, outreach and education to improve bystander CPR

open access: yes, 2023
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is leading cause of death in US totaling 350,000 cases per year with only 38.2% CPR performed. The target audience of this project is community members from diverse backgrounds including members in healthcare, social

A 5-year change of knowledge and willingness by sampled respondents to perform bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a metropolitan city.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundNationwide and regional interventions can help improve bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) awareness, knowledge, and the willingness. Periodic community investigation will help monitor the effect.

Impact of community-based interventions on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains low, typically less than 10%. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and bystander-AED use have been shown to improve survival by up to fourfold in individual studies.

Backrest Position and Outcome in Comatose Survivors of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Protocol for a Multi‐Center Randomized Comparison Within the Danish Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest (DANOHCA) Trial

open access: yesActa Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Intensive care following resuscitation from out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is based on a set of interventions, all of which are intended to reduce anoxic brain injury and improve outcomes, including sedation, mechanical ventilation, circulatory optimization, and temperature control protocols.

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)

open access: yesActa 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.

Dispatcher instructions for bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and neurologically intact survival after bystander-witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests: a nationwide, population-based observational study

open access: yesCritical Care, 2021
Background The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation recommends that dispatchers provide instructions to perform compression-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to callers responding to adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA ...

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

open access: yesActa 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.
