Little evidence guides the appropriate duration of resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and case features justifying longer or shorter durations are ill defined. We estimated impact on probability favorable functional outcome arrest using a large, multicenter cohort.This was secondary analysis North American, single-blind, multicenter, cluster-randomized, clinical trial (ROC-PRIMED [Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Prehospital Resuscitation Using an Impedance Valve Early Versus...

Research describing survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has centered on quantifying functional ability, perceived quality life, and neurocognitive assessment. Many gaps remain, however, regarding survivors' psychosocial perceptions life in the aftermath arrest. An important influence upon those is presence support its role a survivor's life. Internet-based pilot survey study was conducted to gather data from SCA friends and/or family members (FFMs) representing their system. The...

Background Targeted temperature management (TTM) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with improved functional survival and a class I recommendation in resuscitation guidelines. However, patterns of utilization TTM adherence to recommended guidelines contemporary practice are unknown. Methods Results In multicenter, prospective cohort consecutive adults non-traumatic the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium 2012 2015, we identified all (≥18 years) who were potential candidates TTM....

The prevalence of diabetes continues to rise in the United States along with a shortage endocrinologists. One proposed solution this challenge is deliver more specialty health care services through remote patient monitoring (RPM). Here, we describe our initial experience an RPM program for at University Colorado. We enrolled 211 patients primarily uncontrolled type 2 into Diabetes Home and Remote Care Program (DHRCP). replaced traditional brick-and-mortar while were enrolled. A certified...

Post cardiac arrest, neuroprognostication remains a complex and clinically challenging issue for critical care providers. For this reason, our primary objective in study was to determine the frequency of survival favorable neurological outcomes post-cardiac arrest patients with delayed time awakening. To assess whether early withdrawal may adversely impact survival, we also sought describe non-surviving patients. We performed retrospective resuscitated after two large academic community...

Targeted temperature management (TTM) improves outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). We hypothesized that there may be a significant relationship between the dose of hypothermia, time to return spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and survival discharge. Retrospective pilot investigation on 99 consecutive OHCA patients with initial shockable rhythm, surviving admission, undergoing TTM 2008 2011. Dose hypothermia was defined as sum induction interval (time target [from ROSC 33°C]);...

Objectives: Tailoring hypothermia duration to ischemia may improve outcome from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We investigated the association between hypothermia/ischemia ratio and functional in a secondary analysis of data Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Amiodarone, Lidocaine, or Placebo Study trial. Design: Cohort study arrest patients screened for Consortium-Amiodarone, Study. Setting: Multicenter across North America. Patients: Adult, nontraumatic, who survived hospital admission...

There is little consensus regarding many post-cardiac arrest care parameters. Variability in such practices could confound the results and generalizability of post-arrest research. We sought to characterize variability practice Korea United States.

Single from each site were surveyed (N = 40). Participants...

Background While sudden cardiac arrest (CA) survivors are at risk for developing psychiatric disorders, little is known about the impact of preexisting mental health conditions on long-term survival or postacute healthcare utilization. We examined prevalence in CA patients who survived hospital discharge, characterized incidence and reason inpatient psychiatry consultation during these patients’ acute hospitalizations, determined association pre-CA depression anxiety with readmission rates...
