  2. 1. Post Cardiac Arrest Care : Evaluation of prognostic tools, Patient outcomes and Relatives’ experiences at 6 months after the event

    Author : Ewa Wallin; Sten Rubertsson; Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Silvana Naredi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; hypothermia; neurological outcome; cerebral oxygenation; MRI; relatives; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis was to study post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients treated with target temperature management 33°C with a focus on evaluation of two prognostic tools: variations in cerebral venous saturation and acute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on the brain post-CA. An additional aim was to investigate patients’ neurological outcome and relatives’ experiences 6 months after the event. READ MORE

  4. 2. Post-Cardiac Arrest Care : Therapeutic Hypothermia, Patient Outcomes and Relatives’ Experiences

    Author : Ing-Marie Larsson; Sten Rubertsson; Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Jo Kramer-Johansen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; therapeutic hypothermia; prognostication; outcome; quality of life; relatives; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis was to study post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients with a focus on therapeutic hypothermia treatment, outcomes up to six months post-CA and relatives’ experiences during the hospital stay.In Paper I, the aim was to asses effectiveness of hypothermia treatment with cold, 4°C, intravenous crystalloid infusion combined with ice packs.

  5. 3. Cardiac arrest - an epidemiologic perspective on pharmacotherapy and post resuscitation care

    Author : Andreas Lundin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; resuscitation; post-cardiac arrest care;

    Abstract : Background: Despite significant research and progress, cardiac arrest remains a condition with a high mortality rate, and few interventions have been demonstrated to improve outcomes in this patient group. Despite incorporation of adrenaline use in the treatment guidelines over several decades, its potential benefit remains uncertain. READ MORE

  6. 4. Post-cardiac arrest care. Targeted temperature management and coronary care

    Author : Josef Dankiewicz; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; Infection; Prognostication; Coronary Angiography; Hypothermia;

    Abstract : AbstractOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a devastating manifestation of coronary artery disease. For patients who are initially resuscitated and are admitted to an intensive care unit, mortality is high. Roughly half of all patients die, primarily due to neurological injury. READ MORE

  7. 5. Circulatory Failure and Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

    Author : Joachim Düring; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    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
