  2. 16. The fight against time in prehospital cardiac arrest - a true medical emergency

    Author : Johan Holmén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; prehospital; out-of-hospital;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: The chances of survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are one in ten. The majority of survivors have no or relatively mild neurological sequelae. Interventions are time critical and well-timed management is challenging. READ MORE

  4. 17. Endovascular occlusion methods in non-traumatic cardiac arrest

    Author : Emanuel M. Dogan; Tal M. Hörer; Kristofer F. Nilsson; Birger Axelsson; Lars Wik; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; REBOA; intra-aortic balloon pump;

    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

  5. 18. Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation decisions in the hospital setting

    Author : Eva Piscator; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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.

  6. 19. 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

  7. 20. Aspects of post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

    Author : Louise Martinell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; survival; Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator; Prediction of prognosis; mild induced hypothermia;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiac disease is the most common cause of death in the western world and the majority of these deaths are due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In Sweden, approximately 10,000 persons suffer an OHCA annually and in 5000 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is initiated. READ MORE
