   Abstract : The over-riding aim of this thesis was to obtain a deeper understanding of the way patients with cardiac problems view both information related to their health and medical decisions and their role in decision-making processes. An important objective was to identify reasons why patients do not ask for or assimilate information or why they do not want or feel that they are able to influence medical decisions. READ MORE

4. 22. Emergency medical dispatch. The first medical response for life-threatening conditions. Assessment and invention of patients with chest pain and/or suspected cardiac arrest

   Author : Angela Bång; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; dispatcher-assisted CPR; agonal breathing;

   Abstract : Aims: To describe the Emergency Medical Dispatcher's (EMDs) possibility of assessment and intervention of patients reported having chest pain and/or cardiac arrest, with regard to identification of the problem, priority-decision, provision of instructions in dispatcher-assisted bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the subsequent outcome in terms of final diagnosis and survival. Methods: Prospective and retrospective observational studies based on registrations made by EMDs in case record forms (during two months, 1993), and in the dispatch protocol (27 months, 1994-1996) and subsequent follow-up in ambulance and hospital files.

5. 23. Predictors of survival in cardiac arrest

   Author : Nooraldeen Al-Dury; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; predictors; survival; machine learning;

   Abstract : Cardiac arrest (CA) refers to the cessation of cardiac function. Survival is around 30% for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), and 10% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). READ MORE

6. 24. Bystander initiated and dispatcher assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

   Author : Katarina Bohm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; dispatcher-assisted CPR; agonal respiration;

   Abstract : Cardiac arrest (CA) is a common cause of death. In Sweden approximately 6 000-10 000 people annually suffer a CA outside hospital. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can save lives in an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). READ MORE

7. 25. 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
