Self-restoration of cardiac excitation rhythm by anti-arrhythmic ion channel gating

eLife, 2020
Homeostatic regulation protects organisms against hazardous physiological changes. However, such regulation is limited in certain organs and associated biological processes. For example, the heart fails to self-restore its normal electrical activity once

Mechanical chest-compression devices: current and future roles [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose of review: It is recognised that the quality of CPR is an important predictor of outcome from cardiac arrest yet studies consistently demonstrate that the quality of CPR performed in real life is frequently sub-optimal.

Control of scroll wave turbulence using resonant perturbations [PDF]

, 2008
Turbulence of scroll waves is a sort of spatio-temporal chaos that exists in three-dimensional excitable media. Cardiac tissue and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction are examples of such media.

Hands-On Defibrillation Skills of Pediatric Acute Care Providers During a Simulated Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest Scenario

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Introduction: Timely defibrillation in ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (VFCA) is associated with good outcome. While defibrillation skills of pediatric providers have been reported to be poor, the factors related to poor hands-on defibrillation ...

Impact of defibrillation with automated external defibrillator by bystander before defibrillation by emergency medical system personnel on neurological outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with non-cardiac etiology

Resuscitation Plus, 2023
Aim of the study: Although defibrillation using automated external defibrillator (AED) by bystander prior to emergency medical system (EMS) arrival was associated with favorable outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of cardiac cause, whether ...

Assessing student paramedic visual and verbal checks for defibrillation safety—an observational study [PDF]

, 2015
One of the cornerstones in resuscitation training is defibrillation safety, inadvertent “shocking” of the patient when another person has contact with the patient may have a range of safety consequences.

Pediatric defibrillation shocks alone do not cause heart damage in a porcine model

Resuscitation Plus, 2022
Aim: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) use various shock protocols with different characteristics when deployed in pediatric mode. The aim of this study is to assess and compare the safety and efficacy of different AED pediatric protocols using ...

Advances in Safe, Flexible, and Stretchable Batteries for Wearable Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Unlike previous reviews centered on component‐based deformability, this work highlights safety‐driven design strategies for flexible and stretchable batteries. By integrating material‐level engineering, geometry‐controlled structures, biocompatibility, and self‐protection mechanisms, it establishes a unified framework that connects mechanical ...
