Cardiac Arrest Rate During Delivery Hospitalization 13.4 Per 100,000
Cardiac arrest occurred more often among older patients, non-Hispanic Blacks, those with Medicare, Medicaid, underlying medical condition
Sports-Related Sudden Cardiac Arrest Uncommon in Older Adults
Sports-related sudden cardiac arrest predominantly occurs in men and is tied to fewer cardiovascular risk factors than non-sports-related occurrences
Extracorporeal CPR Does Not Offer More Favorable Neurologic Outcome
No benefit seen versus conventional CPR for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who received bystander CPR
AHA: Consciousness, Awareness May Occur During Cardiac Arrest
Normal EEG consistent with consciousness emerged as long as 35 to 60 minutes into CPR despite marked cerebral ischemia
AHA: Other Defibrillation Strategies Studied for Refractory V-Fib
Survival to hospital discharge higher with use of double sequential external defibrillation compared with standard defibrillation
Antiseizure Treatment Explored in Comatose Cardiac Arrest Survivors
Strategy to suppress rhythmic and periodic EEG patterns did not improve neurologic outcomes at three months
Total Alcohol Intake Not Linked to Ventricular Arrhythmia Risk
Total alcohol intake has U-shaped association with sudden cardiac death; beer, cider, spirits linked to increased risk
Simulation Can Improve Time to First Shock in IHCA
Online education and code simulation improves performance of intensive care unit nurses when responding to in-hospital cardiac arrests
Bystander Rescue Breathing CPR Beneficial for Pediatric OHCA
Odds of neurologically favorable survival improved for RB-CPR versus compression-only CPR
Dietary Patterns May Affect Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death
Greater adherence to Southern dietary pattern linked to higher risk for sudden cardiac death, but the association was not statistically significant
