The sooner a lay rescuer (bystander) starts cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a person having a cardiac arrest at home or in public, up to 10 minutes after the arrest, the better the chances of survival and brain protection, according to an analysis of nearly 200,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases in the U.S.

Weekend procedures also face limited access to specialized cardiac teams, affecting timely decisions and making urgent procedures more difficult to schedule. Beyond in-hospital mortality, weekend patients faced a 3.27x higher risk of death following the procedures.

Background:Prompt initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical to survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Results:Of 78 048 patients with a witnessed OHCA treated with bystander CPR, the mean age was 63.5±15.7 years and 25, 197 (32.3%) were women.

What is the utility of a head CT in cardiac arrest? We found intracranial hemorrhage in 2% of non-traumatic cardiac arrest patients, and in 4 others the presence of cerebral edema changed management. in Vienna found that 27 of 765 (4%) of out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) were due to SAH.

Cardiac arrest can cause diffuse subendocardial ischemia, usually transient (it often resolves as time goes by after ROSC). Also, anterior MI could result from 1) ACS, but also from 2) severe ischemia due to combination of a hemodynamically significant LAD stenosis + severe hypotension during cardiac arrest.

Shortly after arrival in the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) — she suffered a cardiac arrest. BUT — Cardiac catheterization done a little later did not reveal any significant stenosis. Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case — obtained after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest. ( No CP ( C hest P ain ).
