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

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.

Machine learning-based prediction model of acute kidney injury in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) can make cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) more complex, and the combination of the two can significantly worsen the prognosis.

Systematic review of interventions to improve appropriate use and outcomes associated with do-not-attempt-cardiopulmonary-resuscitation decisions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The treatment for a cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), may be lifesaving following an acute, potentially reversible illness. Yet this treatment is unlikely to be effective if cardiac arrest occurs as part of the dying process towards ...

Gallic Acid Attenuates Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension and Vascular Dysfunction by Inhibiting the Degradation of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Hypertension is a major cause of heart attack and stroke. Our recent study revealed that gallic acid (GA) exerts protective effects on pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction.

Sex difference in the association between type of bystander CPR and clinical outcomes in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest

open access: yesResuscitation Plus, 2023
Background: A recent study suggested that women with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have a smaller survival benefit with bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation than men.

Global, regional, and national cardiovascular disease burden attributable to smoking from 1990 to 2021: Findings from the GBD 2021 Study

open access: yesTobacco Induced Diseases
Introduction Smoking poses a serious threat to cardiovascular health. The aim of the study is to evaluate the global, regional, and national burden of smokingattributable cardiovascular disease (CVD) and set priorities for future tobacco control ...

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.

The effective group size for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills - a randomized controlled simulation trial.

open access: yes, 2021
AIM OF THE STUDY The ideal group size for effective teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is currently under debate. The upper limit is reached when instructors are unable to correct participants' errors during skills practice.

Predicting sepsis in-hospital mortality with machine learning: a multi-center study using clinical and inflammatory biomarkers

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research
Background This study aimed to develop and validate an interpretable machine-learning model that utilizes clinical features and inflammatory biomarkers to predict the risk of in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients suffering from sepsis. Methods
