Out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
Medical Journal of Australia, 2000Out-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.

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
2021Cardiac arrest is the most extreme of medical emergencies. If the victim is to have any chance of high-quality neurological recovery, cardiac arrest must be diagnosed quickly, followed by summoning for help as basic life support (chest compressions and ventilations) is started.

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 ...

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.

Extracorporeal CPR for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
New England Journal of Medicine, 2023To the Editor: Suverein et al. (Jan. 26 issue)(1) describe the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. After 30 days, survival with a favorable neurologic outcome among patients who were resuscitated with extracorporeal CPR was similar to that with conventional CPR (20% and ...

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 ...

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 ...
