We present a case of a 40-year-old man who was brought to our hospital after a sudden cardiac arrest. He had a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection and was receiving treatment with antiretroviral drugs with good compliance, showing an undetectable virus load in a test done 1 ...
Background: Induced mild hypothermia (32–34?°C) has proven to reduce ischemic brain injury and improve outcome after a cardiac arrest (CA). The aim of this investigation was to study the occurrence of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and neurochemical metabolic changes indicating cerebral is...
The family members completed a brief 8-question knowledge questionnaire on the day their loved one experienced cardiac arrest prior to being given the TEMPO pamphlet. They were then asked to complete the same questionnaire approximately 24 hours after reviewing the pamphlet. Researchers questioned the ...
The aim of this review study was to evaluate therapeutic mild hypothermia, its complications and various methods for induced mild hypothermia in patients following resuscitation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Studies conducted on post-cardiac arrest cares, history of induced hypothermia, and thera...
Despite 40 years of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) therapies, overall survival rates after cardiac arrest remain poor. Recent data suggest that the death toll in the United States is greater than previously believed—possibly 450 000 sudden deaths each year—yet the average survival rate remains...
Denmark star Christian Eriksen, who last week shocked the football world when slumping into a cardiac arrest in his team's Euro 2020 opener against Finland, has been discharged from hospital in Copenhagen. The Danish football union (DBU) uploaded a statement of their own and one from Eriksen ...

Following cardiac arrest, mice received an intravenous infusion of the sedatives propofol or dexmedetomidine, or saline (as a control), starting when the animals' circulation spontaneously returned or at 60 minutes after return of spontaneous circulation. ...
A subset of 85 patients received brain monitoring during CPR. Additional testimony from 126 community survivors of cardiac arrest with self-reported memories was also examined to provide greater understanding of the themes related to the recalled experience of death. ...
Mild induced hypothermia (MIH) is believed to reduce mortality and neurological impairment after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, a recently published trial demonstrated that hypothermia at 33°C did not confer a benefit compared with that of 36°C. Thus, a systematic review and meta-anal...
