Outcome of Prolonged Ventricular Fibrillation and CPR in a Rat Model of Chronic Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Patients with chronic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are assumed to have a lower chance of successful CPR and lower likelihood of ultimate survival. However, these assumptions have rarely been documented. Therefore, we investigated the outcome of prolonged ventricular fibrillation (VF) and CPR in a rat model of chronic LV dysfunction.

Slow Codes are symptomatic of ethically and legally inappropriate CPR policies

Bioethics, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 327-336, May 2025.
Abstract Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initially used very selectively at the discretion of clinicians, the use of CPR rapidly expanded to the point that it was required to be performed on all patients having in‐hospital cardiac arrests, regardless of the underlying condition.

Is there any Link Between Vitamin D and Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation after Cardioversion? [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic arrhythmia in the elderly population. In symptomatic patients, restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm improve quality of life.

Intra‐arrest blood‐based biomarkers for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest: A scoping review

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Objective Blood‐based biomarkers play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, yet none are routinely measured during the intra‐arrest phase of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Our objective was to describe methodological aspects, sources of evidence, and gaps in research surrounding intra‐arrest blood ...

Automated external cardioversion defibrillation monitoring in cardiac arrest: a randomized trial

Trials, 2008
Background In-hospital cardiac arrest has a poor prognosis despite active electrocardiography monitoring. The initial rhythm of approximately 25% of in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) events is pulseless ventricular tachycardia/ventricular ...

Ressuscitação cardiopulmonar com a utilização do desfibrilador externo semi-automático: avaliação do processo ensino-aprendizagem Resucitador cardiopulmonar con utilización del disfibrilador externo semiautomático: evaluación del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje Cardiopulmonary resuscitation with semi-automated external defibrillator: assessment of the teaching-learning process

Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP, 2008
Estudos demonstram que a sobrevida após uma parada cardíaca diminui 10% para cada minuto de atraso na desfibrilação, e que a taxa de sobrevivência é de 98% quando ela é conseguida em 30 segundos.
