Time-Dependent Probabilities of Favorable Outcomes Examined After CPR
For patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest, probabilities of favorable outcomes decrease with duration of CPR
Higher Survival Rates Seen for Overdose-Attributable Cardiac Arrest
For patients presenting with nonshockable rhythms, OD-OHCA has significantly higher survival rates with good neurological outcome
AHA: Lung Inflation Occurs Infrequently With Ventilation During 30:2 CPR
Better outcomes seen for patients with ventilation waveforms in ≥50 percent of pauses in CPR
Incidence of Drug Overdose-Related Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Up Fivefold
Substantial differences in presentation and outcomes seen by drug profile
CKD Strongest Risk Factor for Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Hispanics/Latinos
Other risk factors include heavy drinking, stroke, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes
HRQoL Consistently High for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survivors
Long-term health-related quality of life consistently high up to 20 years after the event
Cardiac Arrest Survival Lower at EMS Agencies Serving Minority Populations
Difference not explained by response times, rates of EMS termination of resuscitation, or rates of initiating CPR or automated external defibrillator
Warning Symptoms May Predict Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Warning symptoms differed significantly between patients with sudden cardiac arrest and controls, but were sex-specific
Hospital COVID-19 Burden Impacted NSTEMI Treatment, Outcome
Outcomes and treatment worse for patients hospitalized during weeks with a high hospital COVID-19 burden
