An analysis of 27,773 pediatric tracheal intubations reveals 1.2% associated cardiac arrest, highlighting preventable factors such as multiple intubation attempts and benefits linked to video laryngoscopy and specific medications.
This study reveals that elevated 12,13-diHOME levels, reflecting brown adipose tissue activation during targeted temperature management after cardiac arrest, correlate with improved survival and distinct immunometabolic profiles.
This article explores findings from a multicenter study evaluating the impact of cardiopulmonary resuscitation ventilation rates on survival in pediatric intensive care, identifying age-specific ventilation targets linked to improved outcom
This review synthesizes evidence on dual antiglutamate therapy combining AMPA and NMDA receptor blockade in postanoxic super-refractory status epilepticus, highlighting the SUPER-CAT study’s demonstration of improved seizure resolutio
This bicentric study evaluates quantitative pupillary light reflex (qPLR) alongside EEG, SSEPs, and NSE for neuroprognostication in comatose post-cardiac arrest patients, revealing strong correlations but limitations in sensitivity and pred
This study explores how delays in transferring patients from the emergency department to the ICU influence hospital mortality, revealing diagnosis- and hospital-type-specific associations, particularly in cardiac arrest and trauma cases.
In a multicenter phase 2 trial, early intravenous vitamin C did not improve post-cardiac arrest organ dysfunction and the 10 g dose was associated with worse outcomes, including renal, cardiac, and neurologic signals.
This 2-year follow-up of the TTM2 trial demonstrates that targeted hypothermia at 33°C provides no long-term benefit for functional or cognitive recovery compared to targeted normothermia. The findings emphasize the importance of early feve
Researchers in England have developed and validated multivariable risk adjustment models for ROSC and survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. These models provide a robust framework for benchmarking EMS performance and driving qu
AEDs improve survival in in-home cardiac arrests with shockable rhythms but are not cost-effective for widespread private home use at current prices and incidence rates, per a large US cohort study using CARES data.
Sudden death, often caused by heart conditions, is typically the culmination of gradual damage. This article explores warning signs, emergency response, and crucial prevention strategies to protect your heart and save lives.
Analysis of cardiac arrest trends in Seattle highlights improvements in survival rates due to enhanced community and emergency response measures.
