Abstract Objectives: To examine the incidence and survival rates of sudden cardiac arrest that were documented during school organized sports in Japan. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: Insurance
Abstract Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) have high mortality rates, worsened by limited access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs). This study analyzed OHCA response times,
Abstract Background: Nursing home residents are typically excluded in studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Since nursing homes have on-site healthcare staff, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Abstract During the past 20 years the survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has almost quadrupled from 4% in 2001 to 14% in 2020. There
Abstract Aims: To evaluate the association of basic life support with survival after sports-related sudden cardiac arrest (SR-SCA). Methods and results: In this systematic review and
Abstract Importance: The lack of evidence-based implementation strategies is a major contributor to increasing mortality due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in developing countries with
Abstract Background: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are critical in the chain of survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), yet few studies have reported on AED
Abstract Background: Rapid public defibrillation with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) is critical to improving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival. Concerns about AED theft and vandalism have
Abstract Background: Recently, health care and disease prevention are more and more important in people’s daily life. Human body communication (HBC) is an emerging short distance
Abstract Aim: To examine incidence and outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac (OHCA) arrest in a high-risk area characterised by high density of potential bystanders and easy access
Abstract Aims: Singapore is highly-urbanized, with >90% of the population living in high-rise apartments. She has implemented several city-wide interventions such as dispatcher-assisted CPR, community CPR
Abstract Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) during sports can be the first symptom of yet undetected cardiovascular conditions. Immediate chest compressions and early defibrillation offer SCA
