Filter by:Manufacturer's diagrams showing defibrillation pad positioning (as used on public access defibrillators) are anatomically incorrect and are likely to lead to poor position of defibrillation pads, with reduced defibrillation efficacy. We will ask untrained members of the public to observe the diagrams and place pads as indicated on the diagram. We will asses the accuracy of pad placement and repeat the study using an anatomically correct diagram to see if we can improve the accuracy of pad placement.
The study is aimed to assess (a) the incidence of hyperoxia at the point of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and (b) the role of arterial blood oxygen partial pressure to brain oxygenation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. 80 adult patients will be recruited in a physician staffed helicopter emergency medical services. Brain regional oxygen saturation and invasive blood pressure are monitored until hospital admission and arterial blood gases are analyzed immediately when the unit arrives to the patient and again at the time of ROSC.
By comparing the clinical outcome of patients underwent different hypothermic circulatory arrest (mild hypothermic versus moderate hypothermic) during aortic arch surgery, this study aims to determine the optimal hypothermic circulatory arrest strategy for aortic surgery.
In this clinical study, a total of 1500 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Seattle/King County will be enrolled. This will be a randomized clinical trial and patients will receive either two different doses of IV sodium nitrite (45 mg or 60 mg) or placebo during resuscitation in the field by paramedics. The primary outcome will be proportion of patients surviving to hospital admission.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to investigate the effect of intravenous thiamine (vitamin B1) on lactate, cellular oxygen consumption, global oxygen consumption and biomarkers of neurologic injury after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). .
Children's education students are able to identify a possible emergency and in their case act appropriately. The authors think that the propsed training will improve the knowledge, change the attitude and improve their practical skills, and also retain the information over time.
Serum uric acid level is a commonly measured biomarker. The association between serum uric acid level and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases has been observed in some studies, while others showed controversial results. Estimation of this association may help to predict cardiovascular outcomes and may guide new treatment strategies. The hypothesis is that increased serum uric acid level is associated with a range of cardiovascular diseases.
This is a clinical study based on analysis of video-clip data of intubation and clinical data for cardiopulmonary resuscitation patients between 2011.03.01.-2012.02.28.. Aim of this study is to estimate the appropriate number of endotracheal intubation(ETI) experience for successful ETI at first attempt during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
This will be a prospective observational study of adult primary cardiac arrest patients presenting to Shands Emergency Department following ROSC or actively in cardiac arrest with subsequent ROSC after treatment in the emergency department.
This observational study intends to analyze the characteristic of specific accidents happened in Austrian's mountainous regions. The mechanisms of accidents which are evaluated are lightning accidents, cardiopulmonary resuscitation with or without automated external defibrillator, frostbite injuries, accidents with flying vehicle (e.g. paraglider, hang-glider…).
