2. 1. Cardiac Arrest – mechanical chest compressions, gender differences and coronary angiography

   Author : Erik Lindgren; Sten Rubertsson; Theresa M Olasveengen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; OHCA; IHCA; CPR; coronary angiography; percutaneous coronary intervention; PCI; mechanical chest compressions; lucas; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Abstract : Cardiac arrest is a major health problem with over 6000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and 2500 cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) per year in Sweden. Survival are low. Many factors affect the chances of survival, including effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation and optimal post resuscitation care. READ MORE

4. 2. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, selection and candidacy

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation ECPR ; end-tidal carbon dioxide ETCO2 ; in-hospital cardiac arrest IHCA ; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest OHCA ;

   Abstract : Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an exclusive treatment using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Treatment is associated with risk of serious complications, including neurologic impairment and renal failure. Success of treatment is dependent on appropriate selection of candidates. READ MORE

   Author : Anna Thorén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a global health concern of major importance, associated with a poor prognosis.

6. 4. Aspects of cardiac arrest in Sweden - studies based on the Swedish Registry for CPR

   Author : Fredrik Hessulf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; survival; resuscitation; comorbidity; prediction;

   Abstract : Background: Since the introduction of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by Peter Safar in the late 1950s, a tremendous amount of work and scientific discovery has expanded our knowledge of cardiac arrest (CA), made resuscitation a core skill of health care providers and improved survival substantially. Despite the many advances, the core elements of resuscitation have remained largely intact: immediate recognition and initiation of CPR and swift defibrillation. READ MORE
