Background In the past two decades, extracorporeal resuscitation (ECPR) has been increasingly used in the management of refractory cardiacarrest (CA) patients. Methods All patients who underwent E-CPR between January 2014 and December 2021 at the Montreal Heart Institute were included in this retrospective analysis.
Background:In out-of-hospital cardiacarrest (OHCA) patients with an initial shockable rhythm, epinephrine increases the likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), but its effect on neurological outcome remains uncertain. Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4137905-A4137905, November 12, 2024.
Compared with 2012‐2014, the 2015‐2019 cohort showed increased odds of ICH and shock while the odds of DVT, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and UTI were significantly lower. Odds of a mild disability outcome increased from 16% to 20%, OR 0.65 (0.57, 0.74), while mortality decreased from 15% to 12%, OR 0.69 (0.61, 0.78).
There was 100% proximal LAD occlusion with TIMI 0 flow, and cardiacarrest in the cath lab. Figure-2: From Grauer K: ECG Pocket Brain-2014 ePub — regarding "My Take" on defining the ST segment baseline.
Unfortunately, before this could be accomplished — the patient went into cardiacarrest. She was successfully resuscitated — with a post-arrest rhythm similar to that seen in Figure-1. Cardiac cath did not reveal significant coronary disease! I supplement this material with the following 2 PDF handouts.
Methods STEMI activations between January 2014 and April 2018 at the University of Arizona Medical Center were identified. Thirty-six patients (36%) presented with cardiacarrest, and 78% (28/36) underwent emergent angiography. Results Emergent angiography was performed in 80% (79/99) of patients.
The ECG in Figure-1 was obtained from an 18-year old woman — who moments before been resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiacarrest. Does this ECG in Figure-1 provide clue(s) to the etiology of this patient's cardiacarrest? I suspected the answer resides in the reason why an 18-year woman might have a cardiacarrest.
Background Research has described differences in the provision of prehospital treatment for women who experience out-of-hospital cardiacarrest. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine–Out-of-Hospital CardiacArrest Registry.
This study aims to identify the incidence and predictors for procedural intubation during PCI.Methods and ResultsA retrospective cohort study was performed on patients undergoing PCI between 2014 and 2021 within the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry.
The aim of this study is to examine the risks of adverse outcomes following CA in older people with AF.Methods:Using 2014-2019 Medicare claims, we conducted a propensity score analysis of patients treated with CA within 6 months of new AF diagnosis to patients treated with only antiarrhythmic therapy in the 6-month period.
2] Curiously, ACLS does not include consideration of calcium in its bradycardia algorithm, which could have prevented the arrest and which along with the epi produced ROSC. HyperKalemia with CardiacArrest. regardless of the ECG (when the repeat level came back).[1] References 1.
