Objective To study the circumstances and medical profile of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) patients in whom resuscitation was attempted by the ambulance service, and to identify causes of SCA in survivors and factors that influence resuscitation success rate. Methods During a five year...
PURPOSE: Identify the incidence of bacteremia in out of hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS: An IRB approved prospective observational study of adult cardiac arrest patients who received Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and medical care in the Emergency Department (ED) of an urban academic tertiary...
The risk of bleeding complications caused by thrombolysis in patients with cardiac arrest and prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation is unclear. We evaluate the complication rate of systemic thrombolysis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest caused by acute myocardial infarction, especially in rel...
Sudden cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency that causes an abrupt loss of heart function. It is usually fatal when it occurs outside of a hospital but a prompt response with CPR chest compressions and use of an AED can increase the odds of survival. ...
Recently we described that a novel citizen volunteers alert system significantly contributes to survival of out-of-hospital circulatory arrest (OHCA) of cardiac origin [1]. The contribution of the alert system to survival is most substantial in witnessed arrest, within the home environment, at sligh...

Out-of-hospital deaths due to cardiac arrest determined to have met WHO criteria—hereinafter referred to as presumed SCD—were included in this study. As a control group, we included a population of demographically similar individuals with nonsuicide, nonhomicide, accidental deaths due to trauma ...
Introduction:Head-to-pelvis "sudden death computed tomography" angiography (SDCT) has a high diagnostic yield to identify causes and complications of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The differences in yields of non-contrast head CT (H-CT) and pulmonary embolism chest CT (CT PE) angiogr...
