  2. 21. Survival after different forms of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : ‛to breathe or not to breathe?’

    Author : Gabriel Riva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) affects more than 6000 people per year in Sweden and only one in ten survive. One of the most important modifiable factors determining survival is early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but different forms of CPR and their association with survival remain inadequately studied.

  4. 22. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : a study on factors associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, early defibrillation and survival

    Author : Jacob Hollenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; sudden cardiac death; ventricular fibrillation; cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR ; automated external defibrillators; return of spontaneous circulation; fire department;

    Abstract : Cardiac disease is the most common cause of mortality in the Western World and the majority of these cardiac deaths is due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In Sweden, an estimated 5,000-10,000 people suffer an OHCA annually. READ MORE

  5. 23. In-hospital cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Sweden : Healthcare professionals’ competence and compliance with guidelines

    Abstract : Competence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the foundation for performing CPR in accordance with guidelines during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) events, which is crucial to patient survival. All IHCA events are to be reported to the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (SRCR), but compliance is unclear. READ MORE

  6. 24. Evaluation of various strategies to improve outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with particular focus on mechanical chest compressions

    Abstract : Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills vary among health care professionals. A previous study revealed that chest compressions were only performed half the time in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Field conditions and fatigue could be possible explanations. READ MORE

  7. 25. In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest : A Study of Education in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and its Effects on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes among Healthcare Professionals and Survival of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients

    Author : Marie-Louise Södersved Källestedt; Mats Enlund; Johan Herlitz; Jerzy Leppert; Eldar Søreide; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; in-hospital; healthcare professionals; education; multiple-choice questions; hjärtstopp; hjärt-lungräddning; sjukhus; sjukvårds¬personal; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated whether out­come after in-hospital cardiac arrest patients could be improved by a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) educational intervention focusing on all hospital healthcare professionals. Annually in Sweden, approximately 3000 in-hospital patients suffer a cardiac arrest in which CPR is attempted, and which 900 will survive. READ MORE
