Lowering the body's temperature in cardiac arrest patients with 'non-shockable' heart rhythms increases survival and brain function. Patients who received the treatment were about three times more ...

The researchers found that each minute from EMS arrival to epinephrine administration was associated with a 4% decrease in the odds of survival for adults, after adjustment for potential confounders ...

Background Persistent shockable rhythms (refractory to or recurring after three or more defibrillation attempts) are ...

Japan-based study involving Osaka University finds valuable correlation between use of advanced airway management and ECG rhythms indicating need/non-need for defibrillation during out-of-hospital ...

Research indicates that non-shockable cardiac arrest is associated with higher mortality rates compared to cardiac arrest cases wherein shockable rhythms such as ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ...

In cardiac arrest, the speed and type of treatment can literally mean life or death in the immediate term, but can also affect health outcomes after successful resuscitation. During out-of-hospital ...

(HealthDay)—For patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with non-shockable initial rhythm, each minute delay in epinephrine administration is associated with reduced survival and ...

New research examined a large-scale national registry of cardiac arrest cases to measure the effects of advanced airway management (AAM) on one-month outcomes after patients survived. The deep ...
