New study reveals gaps in out-of-hospital emergency care for cardiac arrest in kids

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have found that quality of care for pediatric patients who experience cardiac arrest outside of the hospital is lower compared with adults, prompting an urgent call to action to improve care delivery for the potentially deadly event.

Artificial intelligence-assisted echocardiographic monitoring in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPercutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is administered to pediatric patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Additionally, raw data images of apical 2-chamber and 4-chamber views were utilized for EF assessment via a Pediatric ECMO Quantification machine learning-enabled AI (automated-EF).ResultsThere
