Mechanical versus manual chest compression for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (PARAMEDIC) : a pragmatic, cluster randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Mechanical chest compression devices have the potential to help maintain high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but despite their increasing use, little evidence exists for their effectiveness.

Prehospital randomised assessment of a mechanical compression device in cardiac arrest (PaRAMeDIC) trial protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is closely linked to the quality of CPR, but in real life, resuscitation during pre-hospital care and ambulance transport is often suboptimal.

Targeted temperature management guided by the severity of hyperlactatemia for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: a post hoc analysis of a nationwide, multicenter prospective registry

open access: yesAnnals of Intensive Care, 2019
Background The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation guidelines recommend target temperature management (TTM) between 32 and 36 °C for patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, but did not indicate patient-specific temperatures.

Smartwatch based automatic detection of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Study rationale and protocol of the HEART-SAFE project

open access: yesResuscitation Plus, 2022
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of mortality. Immediate detection and treatment are of paramount importance for survival and good quality of life.

Implementation of Targeted Temperature Management After Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Observations From the Los Angeles County Regional System

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Despite the benefits of targeted temperature management (TTM) for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest), implementation within the United States remains low.

The effect of restrictive versus liberal selection criteria on survival in ECPR: a retrospective analysis of a multi-regional dataset

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2023
Background Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an established rescue therapy for both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA).

The effect of real-time CPR feedback and post event debriefing on patient and processes focused outcomes : a cohort study : trial protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Cardiac arrest affects 30-35, 000 hospitalised patients in the UK every year. For these patients to be given the best chance of survival, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be delivered, however the quality of CPR in real ...

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2017
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death in developed industrial countries. The global worldwide average of OHCA incidence in adults is 95.9/100,000/year.

Hypothermia and postconditioning after cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduce cardiac dysfunction by modulating inflammation, apoptosis and remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Mild therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest is neuroprotective, but its effect on myocardial dysfunction that is a critical issue following resuscitation is not clear.

Police as first reponders improve out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Background Police forces are abundant circulating and might arrive before the emergency services to Out-of-Hospital-Cardiac-Arrest victims. If properly trained, they can provide basic life support and early defibrillation within minutes, probably ...
