Which Matters More for Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival: Witnessed Arrest or Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation?

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundDespite the wellknown importance of witnessed arrest and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for outofhospital cardiac arrest outcomes, previous studies have shown significant statistical inconsistencies. The outcome measure was prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Impact of Updating the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guidelines on Out?of?Hospital Shockable Cardiac Arrest: A Population?Based Cohort Study in Japan

Journal of the American Heart Association

However, few national population‐based studies have investigated the comprehensive effectiveness of those updates for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest due to shockable rhythms. in 2006, and 3.01 in 2015). in 2006, and 3.01

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Further research and attention to this area are crucial for improving patient outcomes and guiding clinical interventions in this challenging condition.MethodsICD‐10‐CM codes were used to query the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) for patients with AIS between 2010 and 2019. Patients with AKI were on average older (63.29

Guidelines would (erroneously) say that this patient who was defibrillated and resuscitated does not need emergent angiography

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A patient had a cardiac arrest with ventricular fibrillation and was successfully defibrillated. A reliable study would keep track of all patients with shockable arrest and analyze the ones who were not enrolled to see their outcomes. This is FAR LESS than all other studies of shockable arrest. 5% vs. 58%!!

Middle Aged Woman with Asystolic Cardiac Arrest, Resuscitated: Cath Lab?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

What is the utility of a head CT in cardiac arrest? We studied this and published the abstract below in 2010. We found intracranial hemorrhage in 2% of non-traumatic cardiac arrest patients, and in 4 others the presence of cerebral edema changed management. Chicago November 2010. Kurkciyan et al.

Main operating room deliveries for patients with high-risk cardiovascular disease

Open Heart

Management of this complex population is not well studied, and little guidance is available regarding labour and delivery planning for optimal outcomes. Study design We performed a retrospective evaluation of pregnant patients with high-risk CVD who delivered in the main OR at a large academic centre between January 2010 and March 2021.

QT Correction Formulas Compared to The Rule of Thumb ("Half the RR")

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

However, none of the formulas have proven to be definitively better than another and none are well correlated with outcomes or events! None is considered definitive due to the paucity of data (and conflicting data) relating QTc to outcomes. JACC 55(9):934-947; 2010 ]. Some other points: 1. This study by Patel et al.
