Optimized AED Placement May Improve Cardiac Arrest Outcomes
Optimized placement of AEDs could increase out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) coverage over real AED placements.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Xenon Gas for Inhalation Therapy Gets Fast-Tracked for Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome
Treatment with xenon may improve functional outcomes and reduce mortality in cardiac arrest survivors.
Coronary Heart Disease Mortality Often Attributed to Sudden, Arrhythmic Death
In patients with coronary heart disease and a history of myocardial infarction, many sudden, arrhythmic deaths had a clinical history of angina.
Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Amiodarone and Lidocaine May Improve Survival Outcomes
Although amiodarone and lidocaine were not proven to be efficacious in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, researchers noted that the trend toward survival could suggest potential benefits.
Exercise-Related Sudden Cardiac Death Predicted by Fragmented QRS Complex
Fragmented QRS complex may predict risk of exercise-related sudden cardiac death.
Cardiac Arrests Occurring During Triathlons Not Rare
Incidence of death or cardiac arrest 1.74 per 100,000 participants; higher incidence in men, with age
Cardiac Arrests in Black Neighborhoods Do Not Receive CPR
Depending on the racial make-up of the neighborhood, CPR might not be received for cardiac arrest.
Drone Use Plausible for Cardiac Arrest Emergencies
New research suggests that drones can be used to quickly deliver defibrillators in sudden cardiac arrest emergencies.
Cardiac Arrest-Related Disability Reduced With Bystander CPR
Administration of CPR by a bystander after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest reduced disability in patients.
Therapeutic Hypothermia in Children With In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Therapeutic hypothermia did not improve survival outcomes in pediatric patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest.
