Incidence and predictors of hemodynamic compromise due to high-grade AV block after TAVI
BackgroundHigh-grade AV block (HAVB) is the most frequent adverse event after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In rare cases, HAVB is associated with hemodynamic compromise (HC) followed by syncope or application of cardiopulmonary ...

Prognostic value of point-of-care ultrasound during cardiac arrest: a systematic review
Background Despite significant improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of mortality in the United States. Ultrasound is a widely available tool that can be used to evaluate the presence of cardiac

Accelerometry-based classification of circulatory states during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Objective: Exploit accelerometry data for an automatic, reliable, and prompt detection of spontaneous circulation during cardiac arrest, as this is both vital for patient survival and practically challenging. Methods: We developed a machine learning algorithm to automatically predict the circulatory state during cardiopulmonary resuscitation from 4 ...

Activity Recognition From Newborn Resuscitation Videos [PDF]
Objective: Birth asphyxia is one of the leading causes of neonatal deaths. A key for survival is performing immediate and continuous quality newborn resuscitation. A dataset of recorded signals during newborn resuscitation, including videos, has been collected in Haydom, Tanzania, and the aim is to analyze the treatment and its effect on the newborn ...

A Physiology-Driven Computational Model for Post-Cardiac Arrest Outcome Prediction [PDF]
Patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA) face a high risk of neurological disability and death, however pragmatic methods are lacking for accurate and reliable prognostication. The aim of this study was to build computational models to predict post-CA outcome by leveraging high-dimensional patient data available early after admission to the ...

Mathematical Model of Volume Kinetics and Renal Function after Burn Injury and Resuscitation [PDF]
This paper presents a mathematical model of blood volume kinetics and renal function in response to burn injury and resuscitation, which is applicable to the development and non-clinical testing of burn resuscitation protocols and algorithms. Prior mathematical models of burn injury and resuscitation are not ideally suited to such applications due to ...
