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.

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.

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.

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
2018Mortality from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) remains exceptionally high, in spite of advances in prehospital and hospital care. All-comer survival in patients actively resuscitated is approximately 10%, with significant regional variability worldwide driven by geography, public health measures (e.g., basic life support education and use of ...

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: current concepts
The Lancet, 2018Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of global mortality. Regional variations in reporting frameworks and survival mean the exact burden of OHCA to public health is unknown. Nevertheless, overall prognosis and neurological outcome are relatively poor following OHCA and have remained almost static for the past three decades.

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];

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 ...
