Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest

Medical Journal of Australia, 2000
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), with its high fatality rate, is a significant public health issue. The aetiology of OHCA is reviewed, and management strategies are discussed, including the "chain of survival", the Utstein method of data collection, and recent developments in advanced cardiac life support emphasising defibrillation.

In-Hospital Pediatric Cardiac Arrest

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2008
The understanding of the incidence, epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of pediatric cardiac arrest has evolved greatly in the past two decades. This includes recognition that cardiopulmonary resuscitation delays in cardiac arrest are especially injurious, ventricular arrhythmias are not as uncommon in children as previously believed, and four ...

In-hospital cardiac arrest

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1993
Patients who suffer an in-hospital cardiac arrest represent a neglected and underutilized resource for resuscitation research. There exists an unwritten, but widely held, belief among resuscitation researchers that the in-hospital arrest population is unsuitable for resuscitation research because it is composed mostly of patients whose cardiac arrest ...

Anticipating events of in-hospital cardiac arrest

European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2004
To determine whether in-hospital cardiac arrests occurring in regular wards are preceded by some event(s), and the diagnostic and therapeutic measures adopted.From 1 May 1999 to 31 December 2001, events occurring in the 6 h preceding cardiac arrest were reviewed by checking the medical and nurse records and interviewing the attending staff.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

2021
Cardiac arrest is the most extreme of medical emergencies. If the victim is to have any chance of high-quality neurological recovery, cardiac arrest must be diagnosed quickly, followed by summoning for help as basic life support (chest compressions and ventilations) is started.

SURVIVAL AFTER CARDIAC ARREST IN HOSPITAL

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1977
A 10-year experience of cardiac arrests in a district general hospital is reviewed. 1063 arrests in the general areas of the hospital were studied, excluding the coronary and intensive care units. In 718 (67-5%) initial resuscitation was unsuccessful; in 252 (23-7%) the patient died later in hospital, 93 patients (8-7%) were discharged alive.

Circadian variation of in-hospital cardiac arrest

Resuscitation, 2020
Out of hospital cardiac arrests, especially those due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias, have higher incidence in the morning. It is unknown whether in-hospital cardiac arrests follow a similar pattern.The purpose of this study was to analyze the circadian variation of in-hospital cardiac arrest incidence.This retrospective review of data from the ...

In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (DRAFT)

2018
In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a major public health problem. Despite its prevalence, there remains a paucity of high-level evidence to guide patient management during and after resuscitation from IHCA and most guidelines are extrapolated from studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
