Adrenaline and return of spontaneous circulation during in-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Introduction: Adrenaline provides inotropic, chronotropic and vasopressor effects and is a cornerstone drug during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This study of in-hospital cardiac arrest aimed to investigate the effect of adrenaline on the return of ...

P-ROSC, UB-ROSC, and RACA Scores in Predicting the Return of Spontaneous Circulation in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Retrospective Cohort [PDF]
Introduction: Prehospital Return of Spontaneous Circulation (P-ROSC), Utstein-Based Return of Spontaneous Circulation (UB-ROSC), and Return of Spontaneous Circulation After Cardiac Arrest (RACA) scores have been developed to estimate the likelihood of ...

Real-Time Predictors of Return of Spontaneous Circulation in an Emergency Setting: A Five-Year Retrospective Study [PDF]
Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a highly effort-intensive intervention and, in cases of cardiac arrest, the ability to predict a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is of great importance for the efficient use of resources.

Factors affecting the return of spontaneous circulation in cardiac arrest patients. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in cardiac arrest patients who underwent quality chest compressions as recommended by international guidelines. In this retrospective observational study, the data of nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients (n = 784) brought by ...

Pre-hospital care after return of spontaneous circulation: Are we achieving our targets? [PDF]
Early restoration of normal physiology when return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is obtained after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) reduces the risk of developing post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). This study aims to investigate if (and to which extent) this can be achieved within the scope of practice of standard emergency medical ...

Rhythm conversion in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and influence on the return of spontaneous circulation at the hospital arrival: a 10-year retrospective study in Croatia [PDF]
Background While initial non-shockable (NS) rhythms are often associated with poor prognosis, the conversion to shockable rhythms during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can significantly influence survival rates.
