Survival and long-term outcomes following in-hospital cardiac arrest in a Swiss university hospital: a prospective observational study

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest is reported to be 0.8 to 4.6 per 1,000 patient admissions. Patient survival to hospital discharge with favourable functional and neurological status is around 21–30%.

A Multicenter Evaluation of Survival After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
IMPORTANCE:. In-hospital cardiac arrest survival among coronavirus disease 2019 patients has been reported to range from 0% to 12%. These numbers are significantly lower than reported prepandemic in-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates of approximately

In-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and outcomes in the era of COVID-19: an observational study in a Singapore hospital

International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant strain on healthcare resources and this requires diligent resource re-allocation. We aim to describe the incidence and outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during this period as compared ...

Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest in the Elderly

International Journal of Gerontology, 2008
SummaryBackgroundTo investigate the characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the elderly, we retrospectively studied a 6-month series of cases in an emergency department (ED) of a medical center in northern Taiwan.MethodsThere were 145 OHCA cases sent to our ED from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Neurological Prognostication of Post-Cardiac-Arrest Coma Patients Using EEG Data: A Dynamic Survival Analysis Framework with Competing Risks [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest who enter a coma are at high risk of death. Forecasting neurological outcomes of these patients (the task of neurological prognostication) could help with treatment decisions. In this paper, we propose, to the best of our knowledge, the first dynamic framework for neurological prognostication of post-cardiac ...

PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST RATIO IN PATIENTS WITH IN-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2017
Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurs in 209,000 US patients annually (18% survival). Prognostic markers such as IL-6, S-100 and hsCRP have been studied as predictors of survival after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC); however; cost and lack of equipment make these ...

A novel approach for the diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia based on phase space reconstruction of ECG [PDF]

International Journal of Cardiology, Volume 172, Issue 1, March 2014, Pages e31-e33, 2014
Ventricular arrhythmias comprise a group of disorders which manifest clinically in a variety of ways from ventricular premature beats (VPB) and no sustained ventricular tachycardia (in healthy subjects) to sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia in patients with and/or without structural heart disease.

Polypharmacy prior to in-hospital cardiac arrest among patients with cardiopulmonary diseases: A pilot study

Resuscitation Plus, 2020
Background: Patterns of medication administration prior to in-hospital cardiac arrest (I-HCA) and the potential impact of these on patient outcomes is not well-established.

Robust Defibrillator Deployment Under Cardiac Arrest Location Uncertainty via Row-and-Column Generation [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant public health concern. Successful treatment of cardiac arrest is extremely time sensitive, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) where possible significantly increases the probability of survival. Placement of AEDs in public locations can improve survival by enabling bystanders to treat victims of ...

Predicting Clinical Deterioration in Hospitals [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Responding rapidly to a patient who is demonstrating signs of imminent clinical deterioration is a basic tenet of patient care. This gave rise to a patient safety intervention philosophy known as a Rapid Response System (RRS), whereby a patient who meets a pre-determined set of criteria for imminent clinical deterioration is immediately assessed and ...
