Resuscitation team training in Rwanda: A mixed method study exploring the combination of the VAST course with Advanced Cardiac Life Support training

open access: yesResuscitation Plus, 2023
Introduction: The influence of non-technical skills training on resuscitation performance in low-resource settings is unknown. This study investigates combining the Vital Anaesthesia Simulation Training Course with Advanced Cardiac Life Support training ...

Optimal allocation of defibrillator drones in mountainous regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Responding to emergencies in Alpine terrain is quite challenging as air ambulances and mountain rescue services are often confronted with logistics challenges and adverse weather conditions that extend the response times required to provide life-saving support.

Microaxial pump‐supported coronary surgery without CPB to optimize outcome in severely impaired left ventricles

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the standard approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Microaxial pump support has been envisioned to allow for beating‐heart CABG without CPB (MPCAB), thereby avoiding CPB‐inherent complications.

Massive blood transfusion following older adult trauma: The effect of blood ratios on mortality

open access: yesAcademic Emergency Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 12, Page 1422-1430, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Massive blood transfusion (MBT) following older adult trauma poses unique challenges. Despite extensive evidence on optimal resuscitative strategies in the younger adult patients, there is limited research in the older adult population.

How does the length of cardiopulmonary resuscitation affect brain damage in patients surviving cardiac arrest? A systematic review

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2018
Background Brain injury can occur after cardiac arrest due to the effects of ischaemia and reperfusion. In serious cases this can lead to permanent disability. This risk must be considered when making decisions about terminating resuscitation.

Non-medical factors in prehospital resuscitation decision-making: a mixed-methods systematic review

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022
Aim This systematic review explored how non-medical factors influence the prehospital resuscitation providers’ decisions whether or not to resuscitate adult patients with cardiac arrest.

Survival after myocardial infarction according to left ventricular function and heart failure symptoms

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Asymptomatic reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (AMI) was associated with up to 20% 1‐year mortality after discharge, substantially higher than in recent post‐MI trials. Symptoms of heart failure (HF) during the index hospitalization was associated with worse outcomes in patients with preserved

Optimal Control of Fluid Dosing in Hemorrhage Resuscitation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Fluid resuscitation, also called fluid therapy, is commonly used in treatment of critical care patients. Of the variables inherent to fluid therapy treatment, fluid infusion types are well-studied, but volumetric optimization is not. Automated fluid resuscitation systems employ computational control algorithms along with physiological sensors and ...

DanGer Shock‐like profile predicts the outcome in ST‐elevation myocardial infarction‐related cardiogenic shock

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Flow chart illustrates the analysed patients as well as main baseline characteristics and outcomes comparing DanGer Shock‐like versus DanGer Shock‐unlike patients. The composite safety endpoint comprises severe bleeding, limb ischaemia, haemolysis, device failure, and worsening of aortic regurgitation. CS indicates cardiogenic shock.

Multicentre comparison of various microaxial pump devices as a bridge to durable assist device implantation

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
In the context of patients with severe heart failure, it is crucial to ensure adequate preconditioning before considering the implantation of dLVAD. Although several types of mechanical circulatory assist devices are available and all offer a significant advantage, the present study suggests that the higher the flow rate provided by the Impella®, the ...
