Lowering the body's temperature in cardiac arrest patients with 'non-shockable' heart rhythms increases survival and brain function. Patients who received the treatment were about three times more ...

According to a large US cohort study, the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in private homes was associated with a 26% increase in survival in patients with cardiac arrest with shockable ...

BACKGROUND: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is an acute event associated with high mortality. Although survival has improved in high-income countries, contemporary multicenter data from low- and ...

Even if we simply say "cardiac arrest" or "sudden cardiac death," there are many different forms.In medical practice and ...

For patients with cardiac arrest and a shockable rhythm, automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in private homes improve outcomes but cannot be considered cost-effective at current pricing, ...

Research indicates that non-shockable cardiac arrest is associated with higher mortality rates compared to cardiac arrest cases wherein shockable rhythms such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ...

Osaka – In cardiac arrest, the speed and type of treatment can literally mean life or death in the immediate term, but can also affect health outcomes after successful resuscitation. During ...

In cardiac arrest, the speed and type of treatment can literally mean life or death in the immediate term, but can also affect health outcomes after successful resuscitation. During out-of-hospital ...

Lowering the body's temperature of cardiac arrest patients with "non-shockable" heart rhythms increases survival rates and brain function, according to new research in the American Heart Association's ...

Japan-based study involving Osaka University finds valuable correlation between use of advanced airway management and ECG rhythms indicating need/non-need for defibrillation during out-of-hospital ...

New research examined a large-scale national registry of cardiac arrest cases to measure the effects of advanced airway management (AAM) on one-month outcomes after patients survived. The deep ...
