Delays in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Defibrillation, and Epinephrine Administration All Decrease Survival in In-hospital Cardiac Arrest

open access: yesAnesthesiology, 2019
What We Already Know about This Topic Rapid response to witnessed, pulseless cardiac arrest is associated with increased survival. What This Article Tells Us That Is New Assessment of witnessed, pulseless cardiac arrests occurring at 538 hospitals during

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

open access: yes, 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.

Access to automatic defibrillation at airports on an example of Warsaw Chopin Airport

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Sudden cardiac arrest and cessation of blood circulation is the most common cause of death of people around the world. Immediate notification of emergency services and cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with an automatic external defibrillator (AED)

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Bystander defibrillation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Ireland

open access: yesResuscitation Plus
Aims: To describe and explore predictors of bystander defibrillation in Ireland during the period 2012 to 2020. To examine the relationship between bystander defibrillation and health system developments.

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

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yeseLife, 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

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

open access: yesResuscitation 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 ...

Control of scroll wave turbulence using resonant perturbations [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

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

open access: yesResuscitation 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 ...
