Abstract Introduction The primary aim was to describe the outcome, the compliance with inclusion criteria and the characteristics of patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA) is a catastrophic complication that requires immediate recognition and correction of the underlying cause to improve patient outcomes. While the hypoxia, hypovolemia, hydrogen ions (acidosis),..

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a serious complication with low survival rate. The prognosis of patients with cardiac arrest in the general ward is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac arrest is associated with high mortality rates and severe neurological impairments. One of the underlying mechanisms is global ischemia-reperfusion injury of the body, particularly the brain. Strategies..

Abstract This scientific statement presents a conceptual framework for the pathophysiology of post–cardiac arrest brain injury, explores reasons for previous failure to translate preclinical data to clinical practice, and outlines..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The outcomes of several randomized trials on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in patients with refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were examined using frequentist methods, resulting in a dichotomous interpretation..
