Cardiac arrest survival improved since COVID-19 pandemic waned, still lower than prior years

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

NOVEMBER 11, 2024

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates dropped significantly at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and have continued to remain lower than in the pre-pandemic years of 2015–2019, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2024.,

MAY 7, 2024

The impact of chest compression (CC) pause duration on survival outcomes in pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrests remains unclear, despite the American Heart Association’s recommendation to limit pauses to less than 10 seconds for children without solid evidence. years, 43% of whom were female, and 13% had a shockable rhythm.

IntroductionThe 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines recommended mechanical thrombectomy with stent‐retriever devices. 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.

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of sudden death worldwide and there are currently no devices more effective than manual chest compressions. Intact survival after cardiac arrest is below 10% in most communities. I have a long-term commitment to improving the outcome of patients suffering cardiac arrest.

Method This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive ambulance attendances for non-traumatic shock in Victoria, Australia (January 2015–June 2019) linked with government-held administrative data (emergency, admissions and mortality records). Predictors of 30-day mortality were assessed using Cox proportional regressions.

Using automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as soon as possible increases a person's chance of surviving a cardiac arrest. After meeting the exclusion criteria, more than 9,500 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were included in the study cohort. versus 4.6%

We periodically review this intriguing ECG finding that is best known for its association with hypothermia — but which may also be seen in association with a number of other entities, including acute infarction and cardiac arrest. My Comment addresses a few additional aspects of this phenomenon. Smith’s ECG Blog ).
