Partial Pressure of Oxygen and Neurological Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients
Following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), patients regularly suffer from post cardiac arrest syndrome including symptoms of anoxic brain injury and reperfusion-related damage. Hyperoxemia or hypoxemia exposure occurred... read more
Effect of Bag-Mask Ventilation vs Endotracheal Intubation During CPR on Neurological Outcome After OHCA
Among patients with out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest (OHCA), the use of BMV compared with ETI failed to demonstrate noninferiority or inferiority for survival with favorable 28-day neurological function, an inconclusive... read more
The Efficacy and Safety of Pre-hospital Cooling After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Mild therapeutic hypothermia (TH), or targeted temperature management, improves survival and neurological outcomes in patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). International guidelines strongly support initiating... read more
Improving Appropriate Neurologic Prognostication after Cardiac Arrest
A multicenter quality intervention improved rates of appropriate neurologic prognostication after OHCA but did not increase survival with good neurologic outcome. This was a pragmatic stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled... read more
