Frailty Tied to Worse Outcomes After Perioperative Cardiac Arrest
Findings show higher risk of mortality and nonhome discharge with increasing frailty
Athlete Awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Low
Furthermore, only half of athletes report receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation training
Study Examines Families’ Experience of Sudden Cardiac Death
Themes include searching for answers and processing cause of death, incidental implications of SCD event
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
