  2. 1. Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock

    Author : Martin Annborn; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; shock; outcome; prognostication; post cardiac arrest syndrome; hypothermia;

    Abstract : Background: Some improvement has been seen in survival after cardiac arrest but the outcome is still poor and 50-70% of patients do not survive despite successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The cause of death is multifactorial. The majority of patients die from brain injury, but up to 35% die as a result of circulatory failure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Circulatory Failure and Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac Arrest; Out-of hospital cardiac arrest; Circulatory failure; Survival; Copeptin; Lactate; Temperature management;

    Abstract : Circulatory failure is considered one of the entities of the post cardiac arrest syndrome contributing to poor outcome. It is reported at 15-70% of all patients successfully resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). READ MORE

  5. 3. Augmentation of vital organ blood flow during experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation

    Author : Rolf Gedeborg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; epinephrine; high-dose epinephrine; buffer; cerebral blood flow; post-resuscitation period; aortic occlusion; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

    Abstract : Clinical outcome from cardiac arrest remains poor. If the time from arrest to restoration of spontaneous circulation can be shortened and resuscitation techniques improved so that higher blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs is achieved, it is possible that the outcome from cardiac arrest could improve.

  6. 4. Person-centered fundamental care in the emergency room : Patient and registered nurse perspectives

    Author : Veronica Pavedahl; Inger Holmström K.; Ulrica Schwarz von Thiele; Martina Summer Meranius; Åsa Muntlin; Åsa Engström; Mälardalens universitet; []

    Abstract : Patients who suffer from life-threatening illness or injury – experiencing conditions such as cardiac arrest, breathing problems, or trauma – are cared for at designated emergency rooms within the emergency department. In the emergency room, the registered nurse is responsible for those who are exposed and vulnerable and have complex needs. READ MORE
