Prognostication after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, a clinical survey [PDF]
Background: Numerous parameters and tests have been proposed for outcome prediction in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors. We conducted a survey of clinical practice of prognostication after therapeutic hypothermia (TH) became common ...

In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest [PDF]
A cardiac arrest is classified as ‘in-hospital’ (IHCA) if it occurs in a hospitalized patient who had a pulse at the time of admission. Unfortunately, the majority of patients resuscitated successfully from IHCA die before hospital discharge, and ...

Improving outcomes from out of hospital cardiac arrest: The Cardiac Arrest Individual Registry and Outcomes Programme (CAIRO) [PDF]
Background A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating suddenly. It is one of the most extreme medical emergencies. 60,000 people suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the UK each year, with resuscitation attempted in less than half,

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - A Delphi consensus study for uniform data collection. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Evolving research on resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) as an adjunct treatment for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest mandates uniform recording and reporting of data.
