Saudi Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry: study protocol

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background: Cardiac arrest is a major global health concern. It accounts for almost 30% of the global mortality rate, with a poor survival rate for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest, with worse survival rate for Out-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA).

High dose of epinephrine does not improve survival of children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Results from the French National Cardiac Arrest Registry

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
ObjectivesThe pediatric resuscitation guidelines recommend the use of 0. 01 mg kg−1 epinephrine during a cardiac arrest; an epinephrine dose higher than that is not recommended. The first aim of this study was to determine the administration rate of high

Hypothermia versus Normothermia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2021
BACKGROUND: Targeted temperature management is recommended for patients after cardiac arrest, but the supporting evidence is of low certainty. METHODS: In an open-label trial with blinded assessment of outcomes, we randomly assigned 1900 adults with coma

Effect of Intra-arrest Transport, Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, and Immediate Invasive Assessment and Treatment on Functional Neurologic Outcome in Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2022
Importance Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has poor outcome. Whether intra-arrest transport, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and immediate invasive assessment and treatment (invasive strategy) is beneficial in this setting ...

Mild Hypercapnia or Normocapnia after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2023
BACKGROUND Guidelines recommend normocapnia for adults with coma who are resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, mild hypercapnia increases cerebral blood flow and may improve neurologic outcomes. METHODS We randomly assigned adults
