Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest in the Elderly

International Journal of Gerontology, 2008
SummaryBackgroundTo investigate the characteristics of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the elderly, we retrospectively studied a 6-month series of cases in an emergency department (ED) of a medical center in northern Taiwan.MethodsThere were 145 OHCA cases sent to our ED from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Complicated by Hyperthermia

Resuscitation Plus, 2022
The aims of this study were to establish epidemiology, clinical management and outcomes in cases of adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest complicated by hyperthermia attended by the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust between January 2018 and December 2019. Where evidence is available in relation to this sub-set of cardiac arrest patients it is generally

Treatment of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with induced hypothermia.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2002
BACKGROUND Cardiac arrest outside the hospital is common and has a poor outcome. Studies in laboratory animals suggest that hypothermia induced shortly after the restoration of spontaneous circulation may improve neurologic outcome, but there have been ...

Regional variation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence and outcome.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2008
CONTEXT The health and policy implications of regional variation in incidence and outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remain to be determined. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether cardiac arrest incidence and outcome differ across geographic regions ...

Frailty is a better predictor than age for shockable rhythm and survival in Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest in over 16-year-olds

Resuscitation Plus, 2023
Objective: To determine if the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) predicts out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes better than age?Design: The analysed data was collected as part of a larger study run by NCEPOD on hospital admissions for OHCA in 2018 ...

Sex differences in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Aging, 2020
An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurs when the heart stops maintaining its function to pump blood through the body in an out-of-hospital setting, typically due to cardiac arrhythmia. Our recent analysis of sex differences in OHCA incidence, treatment and survival in a large cohort of OHCA patients in the Netherlands demonstrated several ...
