Filter by:The investigators will compare conventional intubation using Macintosh laryngoscope, blind endotracheal intubation using i-gel for conduit and bronchoscopic intubation using Ambu-aScope and i-gel. All situation assumed as cardiac arrest. i.e, someone give chest compressions continuously without interruption. Moreover the investigators will compare the type of endotracheal tube. Reinforced tube has more soft tube tip, so the investigators think it is more acceptable for intubation using i-gel as conduit.
Postresuscitation disease is characterized by post-insult systemic inflammation, adrenal insufficiency, and circulatory failure. Such severe pathology may be associated with increased susceptibility to infectious complications and increased risk of death due to postresuscitation septic shock. The latter may be attenuated by stress-dose steroids. In this re-analysis of synthesized randomized clinical trial (RCT) data, the investigators will use individual patient data from two prior RCTs of in-hospital cardiac arrest (NCT00411879 & NCT00729794), in order to determine the effect of stress-dose steroids on the severity of postresuscitation infectious complications, and more specifically, on the risk of septic shock-associated death.
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of mortality in the industrialized world. Bystander CPR before arrival of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is a positive predictor of survival. During the last decade, the best form of bystander CPR has been debated. Chest Compression Only CPR (CO-CPR) has been advocated as a preferable method in situations where the bystander has no previous knowledge in CPR, both because its believed to be equally efficient but also a simplified form of CPR that could lead to a higher incidence of bystander-CPR. The purpose of this study is to perform av run-in period with focus on safety and feasibility prior to the launch of a larger randomized trial which has a primary end-point of survival. This study will compare OHCA with standard CPR (S-CPR; chest compressions and rescue breaths in a 30:2 fashion) compared to CO-CPR.
Currently, breathing rate and heart rate are checked by nursing staff manually every few hours and entered into a patient's medical record. The investigators are doing this study to see if a device that will automatically record breathing rate and heart rate every 15 minutes is as accurate as the manual measurement. The investigators will also see if these measurements, taken every 15 minutes, will help us predict adverse events more quickly and accurately than the measurements taken every few hours.
The investigators conducted a randomized, controlled, single-blinded study of patients undergoing CPR for cardiac arrest in the mixed medical-surgical ICUs of four academic teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran from June 1 to October 31, 2014. Patients were randomized to receive CPR with either standard manual compression, or compression with real-time audiovisual feedback using the Cardio First Angel™ device.
This study aimed to identify the effect of early gastric decompression on the improvement of circulation in arrest patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the clinical setting of emergency department.
3500 people suffer from out of hospital cardiac arrest each year in Denmark. Therapeutic hypothermia to 33 degrees celsius is now standard treatment of comatose cardiac arrest patients. The investigators are challenged in our attempt to predict outcome of these patients by both low body temperature in itself and the sedative and relaxing drugs used to keep the patient in a coma. This study is a substudy in a large international multicenter randomized trial that investigates the possible benefit of 48 hours of therapeutic hypothermia versus todays standard of 24 hours. In this substudy the investigators will approach early prediction of neurological outcome using a combination of new examinations backed up by well established ones to engage this challenge from different angles and find a battery of combined examinations, that together will enable us to accurately predict outcome at an earlier stage. Our examinations have been chosen from the three fields of neurophysiology, biochemistry and neurology and consist of electroencephalography (EEG), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), biomarkers and clinical examinations such as brain stem reflexes chosen for their prognostic reliability.
This is a prospective, interventional study aiming to assess the effectiveness of the Esophageal Cooling Device (ECD) as a temperature control modality in post cardiac arrest patients. In addition, observed adverse events during ECD use, ease-of-use, nurse satisfaction and patient outcomes will be examined.
PANGEA is an international prospective point prevalence study to describe the epidemiology, interventions, and outcomes in children with acute critical brain disease.
The aim of this study is to describe incidence of "in-hospital" deaths and outcomes after attempted cardiac arrest resuscitation, availability of resuscitation equipment and medical staff training in state Hospitals of Sri Lanka.
