16. Learning aspects of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and learning activities in basic life support - a study among laypersons at workplaces in Sweden
Abstract : Abstract Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite healthcare improvements, prevention for cardiovascular health, training in adult basic life support (BLS) with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED), together with increased public awareness of cardiovascular disease, survival from OHCA still remains poor.

17. Endovascular occlusion methods in non-traumatic cardiac arrest
Abstract : Approximately 10% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients survive to hospital discharge. An important factor for survival is perfusion to the coronary and cerebral circulations during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). READ MORE

18. Sex Differences in Cardiac and Cerebral Damage after Hypovolemic Cardiac Arrest
Abstract : Resuscitation from haemorrhagic shock and the subsequent circulatory arrest remains a major clinical challenge in the care of trauma patients. Numerous experimental studies in sexually mature animals have shown a gender dimorphism in response to trauma and haemorrhagic shock. READ MORE

19. Safety with Mechanical Chest Compressions in CPR : Clinical studies with the LUCAS™ device
Abstract : Chest compressions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation are of utmost importance although not without a risk. Many injuries are described but the incidence of these is hard to define due to methodological differences. It is strenuous to perform chest compressions and therefore mechanical chest compressions have been looked upon with interest. READ MORE

20. Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation decisions in the hospital setting
Abstract : Background: A Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation (DNACPR) order can be placed when CPR is not in accordance with the patient’s will, when CPR is considered not to benefit the patient, or when CPR is very unlikely to be successful because the patient is dying from an irreversible condition. The decision to withhold CPR involves assessment of the predictors for favourable outcome, in compound with the patient’s values and goals of care to make a decision that is of benefit to the patient.
