Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

, 2018
The 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 ...

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.

Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

, 1992
The 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];

Recurrent out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Resuscitation, 2017
Little 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 ...

Drugs in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Cardiology Clinics, 2018
Managing 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 ...

Incidence of Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004
Estimates 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 ...

Association of national initiatives to improve cardiac arrest management with rates of bystander intervention and patient survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2013
IMPORTANCE Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major health problem associated with poor outcomes. Early recognition and intervention are critical for patient survival.

Controversies in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest?

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2016
Cardiac 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 ...

Intraosseous or Intravenous Vascular Access for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

New England Journal of Medicine
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. Establishing vascular access is critical for administering guideline-recommended drugs during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
