A review regarding the article ‘Health inequalities in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of automated electrical defibrillators in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest’
Abstract Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of mortality worldwide, with a high incidence and low survival rate. Prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and
Social determinants of health and their associations with outcomes in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A national study of the NEMSIS database
Abstract Background: Social determinants of health (SDOH) impact health disparities, though little is known about the effects of SDOH on pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA). Methods: This
Multi-phase implementation of automated external defibrillator use by nurses during in-hospital cardiac arrest and its impact on survival
Abstract Objective: They sought to evaluate the impact of a medical directive allowing nurses to use defibrillators in automated external defibrillator-mode (AED) on in-hospital cardiac
Distance between OHCA and AED location within a community first responder system to achieve early AED connection
Abstract Background: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) from community first responder systems (CFR-system) are important to achieve early defibrillation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). It is unclear
A novel approach to community CPR and AED outreach focused on underserved learner communities
Abstract Creating a sustainable community cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) program that reaches underserved communities poses a challenge for the emergency medical
Case study: A positive cognitive outcome following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Abstract Objective: Time is critical with any out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The possibility of brain cell death increases, and the likelihood of a “good”
Combinations of First Responder and Drone Delivery to Achieve 5-Minute AED Deployment in OHCA
Abstract Background: Defibrillation in the critical first minutes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can significantly improve survival. However, timely access to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) remains
Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes After Ventricular Fibrillation
Abstract Introduction: This study is a retrospective review of patients who sustained out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. The data were analyzed to decipher predictors
Trends in community response and long-term outcomes from pediatric cardiac arrest: A retrospective observational study
Abstract Aim: This study aimed to investigate trends over time in pre-hospital factors for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (pOHCA) and long-term neurological and neuropsychological outcomes. These
Outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in nursing and care homes: a cohort study
Abstract Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) primarily affects older adults. Individuals in nursing homes are often elderly with significant comorbidities. Nursing homes are staffed by healthcare
Knowledge and barriers of out of hospital cardiac arrest bystander intervention and public access automated external defibrillator use in the Northeast of England: a cross-sectional survey study
Abstract Intervention by members of the public during an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHAC) including resuscitation attempts and accessible automated external defibrillator (AED) has
