The aim of the EuReCa ONE study was to determine incidence, process, and outcome for out hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) throughout Europe.This an international, prospective, multi-centre one-month study. Patients who suffered OHCA during October 2014 were attended and/or treated by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) eligible inclusion in Data extracted from national, regional or local registries.Data on 10,682 confirmed OHCAs 248 regions 27 countries, covering estimated population 174 million....
Informed by a series of systematic reviews, scoping reviews and evidence updates from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, 2021 European Resuscitation Council Guidelines present most up to date evidence-based guidelines for practice resuscitation across Europe. The cover epidemiology cardiac arrest; role that systems play in saving lives, adult basic life support, advanced special circumstances, post care, first aid, neonatal paediatric ethics education.
AimWe compared the time to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by lay responders and/or first alerted either via Short Message Service (SMS) or using a mobile application-based alert system (APP).MethodsThe Ticino Registry Cardiac Arrest collects all data about out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occurring in Canton Ticino. At bystander's call, EMS dispatcher sends one ambulance and alerts first-responders network made up police officers fire brigade equipped with an...
To determine the incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) fulfilling Utstein criteria in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, survival rate OHCA patients and their neurological outcome.All OHCAs treated Ticino between 1 January 2005 31 December 2014 were followed until either death or hospital discharge. The outcome those are reported. A total 3367 occurred over a 10-year period. Resuscitation was attempted 2298 patients; 1492 (65%) presumed origin, 454 comparator criteria. About 69% [95%...
AimsTo develop and validate a multi-parametric practical score to predict the probability of survival hospital admission an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victim by using Utstein Style-based variables.MethodsAll consecutive OHCA cases occurring from 2015 2017 in two regions, Pavia Province (Italy) Canton Ticino (Switzerland) were included. We used random effect logistic regression model after OHCA. computed area under ROC curve (AUC ROC) for discrimination we performed both internal...
Electrocardiography (ECG) is an important tool to triage patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). An immediate coronary angiography ROSC recommended only in ECG that diagnostic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). To date, the benefit this approach has not been demonstrated a post-ROSC STEMI.To assess whether time from acquisition associated accuracy for STEMI.This retrospective, multicenter cohort study (the Post-ROSC...
Over the past decade Smartphone-based activation (SBA) of Community First Responders (CFR) to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) has gained much attention and popularity throughout Europe. Various programmes have been established, interestingly there are considerable differences in technology, responder spectrum degree integration into prehospital emergency services. It is unclear whether these dissimilarities affect outcome. This paper reviews current state five European countries,...
The Utstein Based-ROSC (UB-ROSC) score has been developed to predict ROSC in OHCA victims. Aim of the study was validate UB-ROSC using two Utstein-based registries: SWiss REgistry Cardiac Arrest (SWISSRECA) and Lombardia Registry (Lombardia CARe), northern Italy.
To investigate the distance covered by lay first responders (LFR) alerted for an out-of- hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), evaluate time elapsed between mission acceptance and arrival at OHCA site, as well LFRs to closest automatic external defibrillator (AED).The LFR route, thus time, information, average speed of each responder were estimated. The same methodology was used calculate AED LFRs, site.Between June 1st, 2014 December 31st, 2017, network activated in occasion 484 suspected OHCAs....
Many countries reported an increase of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, all these data refer to regional settings national are still missing. We aimed assess OHCA incidence population pandemic in whole Switzerland different regions (Cantons) according infection rate.We considered OHCAs deaths which occurred after first diagnosed case (February 25th) for subsequent 65 days same period 2019. also compared Cantons with high versus low...
Standardized reporting of data is crucial for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) research. While the implementation first responder systems dispatching volunteers to OHCA encouraged, there currently no uniform standard describing these systems.A steering committee established a literature search identify experts in smartphone alerting systems. These international were invited conference held Hinterzarten, Germany, with 40 researchers from 13 countries attendance. Prior conference,...
Background Once the return of spontaneous circulation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is achieved, a 12-lead ECG strongly recommended to identify candidates for urgent coronary angiography. has no apparent role in mortality risk stratification. We aimed assess whether features could be associated with 30-day survival patients arrest. Methods and Results All post-return ECGs from January 2015 December 2018 3 European centers (Pavia, Lugano, Vienna) were collected. Prehospital data...
To determine the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) rates and occurrences at municipality level through a novel statistical model accounting for temporal spatial heterogeneity, space-time interactions demographic features. We also aimed to predict OHCAs number upcoming years estimating related resources requirement.All consecutive of presumed origin occurred from 2005 until 2018 in Canton Ticino region were included. implemented an Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation method estimation...
