Abstract Introduction In cardiac arrest, cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion injury mainly determine the neurological outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the course of cerebral..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Although existing guidelines recommend commencing cannulation for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) within 10–20 minutes of failed conventional resuscitation efforts for cardiac arrest, there is little supportive evidence. The present study..

Abstract Background There are limited practical advanced life support algorithms to aid teams in the management of cardiac arrest in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods In our specialist..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background In adults with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, when conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) alone does not achieve return of spontaneous circulation, extracorporeal CPR is attempted to restore perfusion and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac arrest science continues to evolve and in the last two years many cardiac arrest clinical trials have been published in high-impact journals. In this manuscript we have selected 6..

Abstract Background High-risk patients with coronary heart disease who develop acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have severe coronary lesions. If severe complications occur, such as malignant ventricular arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) restores perfusion and oxygenation in a patient who does not have spontaneous circulation. The evidence with regard to the effect of extracorporeal CPR on..

Abstract Background: This study aimed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for in-hospital cardiac arrest treatment. Methods: A decision tree and Markov model were constructed based on current literature...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Advancements in cardiac arrest and post-cardiac arrest care have led to improved survival to hospital discharge. While survival to hospital discharge is an important clinical outcome, neurologic recovery is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The survival rate after cardiac arrest (CA) remains low. The utilization of extracorporeal life support is proposed to improve management. However, this resource-intensive tool is associated with complications and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND The evidence for temperature control for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is inconclusive. Controversy exists as to whether the effects of hypothermia differ per the circumstances of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is performed in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, and the eligibility has been conventionally determined based on three criteria (initial cardiac rhythm, time..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) can improve survival in selected patients with cardiac arrest (CA). In this meta-analysis, we evaluated factors associated with short-term survival and favorable neurologic outcome (FNO)..
