Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Men and Women [PDF]
Circulation, 2001 Background The incidence of sudden cardiac death is roughly 3 times greater in men than in women. However, in patients treated for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the relationships between sex and survival after adjustment for age ...

Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Cardiology Clinics, 2023 Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is predicated on a community and system-wide approach that includes rapid recognition of cardiac arrest, capable bystander CPR, effective basic and advanced life support (BLS and ALS) by EMS providers, and coordinated postresuscitation care.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Biomedical Papers, 2017 Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death in developed industrial countries. The global worldwide average of OHCA incidence in adults is 95.9/100,000/year. European incidences vary according to source from 16 to 119/100,000/year. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of current information on OHCA.

Refractory Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest [PDF]
Current Cardiology Reviews, 2018 Refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest is a common problem that is associated with poor overall survival rates and neurological outcomes. There are various definitions that have been used but the most accepted one is cardiac arrest that requires more than 10 minutes of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) efforts or more than 3 defibrillation ...

Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022 Abstract Background Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) has received limited attention. All causes of POHCA and outcomes were examined during a 4-year period in a Danish nationwide register and prehospital medical records. The aim was to describe the incidence, reversible causes, and survival rates for POHCA

Prehospital Randomised Assessment of a Mechanical Compression Device In Cardiac Arrest (PaRAMeDIC) Trial Protocol [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is closely linked to the quality of CPR, but in real life, resuscitation during prehospital care and ambulance transport is often suboptimal.

Prevention and early management of in-hospital cardiac arrest: a challenge for nursing educators [PDF]
, 2016 Cardiac arrest can be defined as the heart’s inability to effectively eject blood out due to either an electrical or mechanical failure. This condition poses an immediate threat to life and is always considered to be a medical emergency.

Right ventricular dysfunction after resuscitation predicts poor outcomes in cardiac arrest patients independent of left ventricular function. [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE: Determination of clinical outcomes following resuscitation from cardiac arrest remains elusive in the immediate post-arrest period. Echocardiographic assessment shortly after resuscitation has largely focused on left ventricular (LV) function.
