BrainICU is a prospective observational study investigating the EEG slow wave activity in comatose cardiac arrest survivors under propofol anesthesia and its association with neurological outcome.
Emergency medical services (EMS) provide emergency care not only in the urban but also in the remote areas which could be up to 40 minutes from the EMS station. Thus, a cardiac arrest victim in those remote areas has a low likelihood to survive the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, we have organized first responders (who are mostly volunteer fire-fighters) in the remote areas and taught them how to perform basic life support (BLS) with use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). In the case of a cardiac arrest the medical dispatcher activates simultaneously the EMS and the first responders, who perform the BLS with the use of an AED before the arrival of EMS. The aim of the study is to analyze and compare the survival of the cardiac arrest victims in remote areas in the time period when the first responders were not organized yet compared to the time period when the first responders were activated to perform BLS.
COVID-19, which emerged in China in December 2019, has become a pandemic with its spread to many countries of the world. Although it is suggested that hospital admissions are reduced due to some reasons such as trauma, during COVID-19 pandemic, it is controversial whether in-hospital mortality rates changed. Therefore this multi-centered study aimed to determine how in-hospital mortality effected during the pandemic period according to the specific patient groups.
Determine the benefits of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients participating in a structured, 8-week educational telephone intervention delivered by expert cardiovascular nurses post-ICD. To determine if individuals participating in a post-hospital telephone nursing intervention would demonstrate (1) increased physical functioning, (2) increased psychological adjustment, (3) improved self-efficacy in managing the challenges of ICD recovery, and (4) lower levels of health care utilization over usual care at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-ICD implantation.
This is a clinical observation study based on analysis of video-clip data of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in emergency department. Aim of study is to evaluate effect of the factors relating endotracheal intubation (ETI) on the outcome of OHCA patients.
In this study, the investigators compared mechanical and manual chest compressions in in-hospital cardiac arrest cases.
Time to defibrillation is the most important predictor of survival in cardiac arrest. Traditional emergency medical system response is often to slow. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of drone systems that delivers Automated External Defibrillators (AED) to the scene of suspected Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA). This study will test the feasibility of real-life flights with drones carrying automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) as a complement to standard care i.e EMS
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Among COVID-19 complications, in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) was reported with a very poor outcome in a retrospective single-center study (0,7% of 30 days survival with good neurological outcome among IHCA patients with a resuscitation attempt), related to its natural course and management. The incidence of unexpected in-ICU cardiac arrest (ICUCA) due to COVID-19 is still unknown. Additionally, outcome of COVID-19 patients admitted in ICU for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is also undescribed. The objective this study is : - to report the incidence of ICUCA among patients hospitalized in French ICU for COVID-19. - to report morbidity and mortality among COVID-19 patients admitted alive in ICU for an OHCA or an IHCA. The secondary objective is to assess outcome and identify risk factors of ICUCA occurrence among patients admitted for COVID-19.
