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 ...

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.

BUN‐to‐ALB ratio as an effective predictor of 30 day mortality in ADHF patients in eastern China

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The blood urea nitrogen‐to‐albumin ratio (BAR) is considered a potential indicator for assessing the poor prognosis of heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic value for Chinese patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) remains unclear.

Plasma volume status predicting clinical outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Plasma volume status (PVS) is recognized as a marker of systemic congestion, but its clinical utility in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge‐to‐edge mitral valve repair (M‐TEER) has not been well established. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of PVS in these patients.

Association Between Driving Distance From Nearest Fire Station and  Survival of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Firefighter first responders dispatched in parallel with emergency medical services (EMS) personnel for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) can provide early defibrillation to improve survival.

Right ventricular strain predicts outcome in patients receiving sacubitril/valsartan: A sub‐analysis of DISCOVER‐ARNI

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Angiotensin receptor/Neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) have shown to considerably improve the clinical outcome of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Identifying individuals who may benefit from ARNI the most could markedly enhance patient management.

Ultra-low-energy defibrillation through adjoint optimization [PDF]

This study investigates ultra-low-energy defibrillation protocols using a simple two-dimensional model of cardiac tissue. We find that, rather counter-intuitively, a single, properly timed, biphasic pulse can be more effective in defibrillating the tissue than low energy antitachycardia pacing (LEAP) which employs a sequence of such pulses, succeeding ...
