Infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has led to cardiac complications including an increasing incidence of cardiac arrest. The resuscitation of these patients requires a conscious effort to minimize the spread of the virus. We present a best-practice model based in four guiding...
A structured systematic approach is recommended to any rescuer or trained healthcare provider in the initial management of emergency situations, to recognize priorities and identify time-sensitive issues, facilitating optimal use of time, but also to avoid pitfalls and fixation errors, mostly when deali...

An Algorithm for the Evaluation and Management of Cardiac Arrest with Ultrasonography Causes of Cardiac (and non-cardiac) Arrest Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD) if not successfully resuscitated, refers to the unexpected collapse of circulatory function. Available epide...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has a low rate of survival to hospital discharge. Understanding whether pediatric emergency departments (EDs) have higher survival than general EDs may help identify ways to improve care for all patients with OHCA. We sought...
Bringing the patient to definitive surgery as soon as possible is crucial for the chance of survival to the emergency physician. We describe two cases of cardiac tamponade resulting from blunt chest trauma successfully treated with a definitive management and surgical repair....
cardiac massage,heart massage- an emergency procedure that employs rhythmic compression of the heart (either through the chest wall or, during surgery, directly to the heart) in an attempt to maintain circulation during cardiac arrest artificial respiration- an emergency procedure whereby breathing is ...
Objective: To report the outcomes of patients with a cardiac arrest occurring in an accident and emergency department and discuss whether this would be an appropriate measure of performance of the department. Design: A 6-year retrospective study of cardiac arrests occurring within the accident and ...
