Conclusions Post-cardiac arrest myocardial dysfunction and survival can be improved by cyclosporine treatment at onset of resuscitation, but not by the cyclosporine treatment at 3 min after ROSC.Access through your organization Check access to the full text by signing in through your organization.

We developed an automated processing algorithm for HCT images to be registered, atlas-segmented in 181 regions, and region-specific radiologic densities determined in Hounsfield Units. This approach was compared with an established manual method evaluating grey-white matter ratios (GWR). We tested ...
An algorithm for postcardiac arrest care tailored for use in the ED can assist in providing this care in a busy and chaotic environment using readily available resources. This chapter outlines the evidence supporting aggressive postcardiac arrest care in the ED, protocols for performing effective ...
Full size image Next, we individualised our TFD model by first generating and then translating triangle surface meshes of the scaled 3D models into volumetric representations of the bodies within 3D cubic grids (Fig.1d). This step is essential for individualised TFD modelling, as our algorithm rel...
The applied computational architecture was multilayer perceptron (MLP), a feed-forward ANN, combined with back-propagation algorithm for training the feed-forward ANNs. To train the ANN, supervised learning was performed by providing a series of input and output variables from the training dataset, ...
Because the models were built using both preprocedural and postoperative factors, Hernandez-Suarez told TCTMD “the clinical utility of the developed prediction algorithm is mainly directed to prognosis.” That could be useful for letting patients and their families know what the likelihood of surviving...
In cases of unsuccessful intubation, the following algorithm was proposed (with adaptations for local procedures): an introducer first (intubating stylet or Eschmann introducer), then videolaryngoscopy, an intubation laryngeal mask airway, and finally fiberscopy and rescue percutaneous or surgical ...

Permanent brain damage caused by ischemia and reperfusion that results from disease processes such as stroke and cardiac arrest (CA) with resuscitation has been estimated to affect approx 200,000 patients in the United States annually (1). Neuronal damag
