Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2012Myocardial disease and death from cardiac arrest remain significant public health problems. Sudden death events and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are encountered frequently by emergency medical services. Despite more than 30 years of research, survival rates remain extremely low.

Recurrent out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Resuscitation, 2017Little is known about the burden of recurrent out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) episodes in initial survivors of OHCA. We sought to investigate the frequency of recurrent OHCA, describe time-to-event trends, and establish baseline predictors of occurrence.Between January 2000 and June 2015, we included consecutive OHCA survivors to hospital ...

Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
2018The management of out-of-hospital, atraumatic cardiac arrest has changed over the past decade. This case details the evidence-based changes in care that optimize the chance of neurologically intact survival. The key factors include immediate, continuous, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation with minimal interruptions, early defibrillation, and ...

Incidence of Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004Estimates of the incidence of out-of-hospital primary cardiac arrest (CA) have typically relied solely upon emergency medical service or death certificate records and have not investigated incidence in clinical subgroups. Overall and temporal patterns of CA incidence were investigated in clinically defined groups using systematic methods to ascertain ...

Drugs in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Cardiology Clinics, 2018Managing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest involves unique challenges, including delays in the initiation of advanced interventions and a limited number of trained personnel on scene. Recent out-of-hospital randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and metaanalyses provide key insights into what interventions are best proven to positively impact ...

Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
1992The treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests constitutes a real health problem, considering the following points: 1. the annual incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests is high: 5.6-6 per 10.000 inhabitants in the US [1] with, for instance, in 1984, 540.000 deaths (most of which were sudden deaths) due to coronary heart disease [2];

Controversies in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest?
Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2016Cardiac arrest is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and accounts for nearly 500,000 deaths annually in the United States. In patients suffering out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, survival is less than 15%, with considerable regional variation. Although most deaths occur during the initial resuscitation, an increasing proportion occur in patients ...

Epinephrine in Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 2018According to this study: Administration of epinephrine to adults who'd had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resulted in a significantly higher 30-day survival rate than the use of placebo.A higher proportion of patients who survived in the epinephrine group, however, had severe neurologic impairment.

Assessment of futility in out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2017BackgroundOur aim was to evaluate the impact of futile resuscitation attempts to the outcome calculations of attempted resuscitation in out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Defined as partial resuscitations, we focused on a subgroup of patients in whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated, but further efforts were soon abandoned due to ...
