In the UK, there are more than 30,000 cardiac arrests a year outside of hospitals, which means that members of the public are often called upon to help. Learning how to do CPR and first aid is therefore incredibly important, as it can often be the difference between life and death. ...
More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year. If performed immediately, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The location of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) most often occurs in homes/residences (73.4%),...
This article sheds some light on the incidence of cardiac arrest in flight, success or failure of resuscitation, and the applicable procedures when arriving with a deceased passenger or patient on board of an aircraft.

There are more reports from around the world documenting a stark rise in cardiac arrests occurring outside the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Still unsettled, however, is how much the virus is to blame for triggering lethal arrhythmias, or whether they are mostly a tragic consequence ...
managers as a sporadic, short-term exposure, given the previously intermittent and infrequent nature of wildfires. Research on wildfire smoke reflects this, with most studies focused on the influence of exposure over days to weeks on acute ...
Acute mountain sickness and exhaustion are believed to be the leading causes of death on the mountain. The high altitude can lead to cardiac arrests and strokes, and minor injuries can become a death sentence. Additionally, when climbers aren’t feeling well or are extremely fatigued, errors are...
However, it is estimated that the expenditure on biomaterials and devices for the treatment of cardiac disease will double this amount due to the increasing number of patients suffering cardiac arrests requiring treatment. Biomaterials undoubtedly improve the quality of life for an ever-increasing ...
Cardiac arrest is the cessation of effective contraction of the myocardium leading to sudden loss of consciousness and absence of pulse and respiratory function [1]. In 2010, Berdowski et al. estimated that the global incidence of out of hospital cardiac arrests was 55 arrests per 100,000 perso...
Many epidemiology studies have not found any associations between wildfire smoke exposure and grouped cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Specific endpoints, such as out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and hospitalisations for acute myocardial infarction, were associated with biomass-related PM in selected ...
