2. 6. Augmentation of vital organ blood flow during experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation

   Author : Rolf Gedeborg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; epinephrine; high-dose epinephrine; buffer; cerebral blood flow; post-resuscitation period; aortic occlusion; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

   Abstract : Clinical outcome from cardiac arrest remains poor. If the time from arrest to restoration of spontaneous circulation can be shortened and resuscitation techniques improved so that higher blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs is achieved, it is possible that the outcome from cardiac arrest could improve.

4. 7. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Sweden – yesterday, today and tomorrow

   Author : Anneli Strömsöe; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; education; register; survival; validity; Health and Welfare; Hälsa och välfärd;

   Abstract : In Sweden, the reported incidence and outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary between counties. In the mid -1980s, a national programme in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was developed and rescuers have been educated in CPR. Since 1990, Swedish OHCA data are to be reported to the Swedish Cardiac Arrest Register (SCAR). READ MORE

5. 8. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, selection and candidacy

   Author : Carl-Henrik Ölander; Laila Hellgren; Per Vikholm; Anders Jeppson; Uppsala universitet; []
   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

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Chest compression; Active chest decompression; Mechanical CPR; Defibrillation; Hypothermia;

   Abstract : Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS) is a mechanical device providing automatic 5 cm deep chest compressions and active decompressions back to normal anatomical position with a frequency of 100 per minute, and a duty cycle of 50%, i.e. READ MORE

7. 10. 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
