Hospital COVID-19 Burden Impacted NSTEMI Treatment, Outcome
Outcomes and treatment worse for patients hospitalized during weeks with a high hospital COVID-19 burden
Survival Lower for Asian Versus White Individuals With OHCA
Despite similar rates of bystander CPR, survival to discharge and favorable neurological survival are lower for Asians
Activation of Volunteer Response System Beneficial for OHCA
Chance of bystander CPR, bystander defibrillation, 30-day survival higher with activation of volunteer response system
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
