The aim was to assess the impact of adopting the ILCOR advisory statement for the management of in-hospital cardiac arrest in adults. It is well recognized that audit of resuscitation and collection of reliable data are difficult. The present study set out to try and audit all cardiopulmonary ...
Specifically, in more than 4500 cases of sudden cardiac arrest in adults living in Portland, OR in a recent decade, only 34 cases were related to sexual activity within the preceding hour. Sexual-activity–related sudden cardiac arrest occurred in 32 men and two women. That is, one in 100 ...

Cardiac arrest with shockable rhythm (VF/pulseless VT) had a survival rate of 31.2% for young adults compared to 18.5% for older adults (p < 0.001). Conclusion Survival to hospital discharge rates from OHCA due to a ‘presumed cardiac’ precipitant in young adults is much ...
