PULS – Austrian Cardiac Arrest Awareness Association: An overview of a multi-tiered and multi-facetted regional initiative to save lives

open access: yesResuscitation Plus, 2023
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) still leads to dismal outcomes worldwide. The crucial gap between cardiac arrest and advanced life support can only be filled by bystander-CPR.

Prehospital randomised assessment of a mechanical compression device in cardiac arrest (PaRAMeDIC) trial protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is closely linked to the quality of CPR, but in real life, resuscitation during pre-hospital care and ambulance transport is often suboptimal.

Severity of illness and organ dysfunction scoring systems in pediatric critical care: The impacts on clinician's practices and the future

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Severity and organ dysfunction (OD) scores are increasingly used in pediatric intensive care units (PICU). Therefore, this review aims to provide 1/ an updated state-of-the-art of severity scoring systems and OD scores in pediatric critical care, which ...

Mechanical versus manual chest compression for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (PARAMEDIC) : a pragmatic, cluster randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Mechanical chest compression devices have the potential to help maintain high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but despite their increasing use, little evidence exists for their effectiveness.

Hypothermia and postconditioning after cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduce cardiac dysfunction by modulating inflammation, apoptosis and remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Mild therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest is neuroprotective, but its effect on myocardial dysfunction that is a critical issue following resuscitation is not clear.

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 ...

Improving outcomes from out of hospital cardiac arrest: The Cardiac Arrest Individual Registry and Outcomes Programme (CAIRO) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating suddenly. It is one of the most extreme medical emergencies. 60,000 people suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the UK each year, with resuscitation attempted in less than half,

The No-Win Resuscitation: Ventricular Septal Rupture and Associated Acute Aortic Occlusion

open access: yesCase Reports in Critical Care, 2018
A 66-year-old patient was admitted under continuous resuscitation for pulseless electrical activity. After return of spontaneous circulation ECG showed signs of acute inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and echocardiography showed acute right ...

Impella support following emergency percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and cardiogenic shock

open access: yesHellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Background: To investigate the feasibility and outcomes of Impella 2.5 support in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) and cardiogenic shock (CS), who underwent emergency percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) with or without ...

Out of sight – Out of mind? The need for a professional and standardized peri-mission first responder support model

open access: yesResuscitation Plus, 2023
First responders are an essential part of the chain (-mail) of survival as they bridge and reduce the time to first chest compressions and defibrillation substantially.
