Cardiac arrest accounts for over 500,000 deaths per year in the United States and leads to significant functional disability in those who survive.1 Advances in cardiac resuscitation and the care of post‐cardiac arrest patients have decreased mortality.2., 3., 4., 5., 6. These developments ...
fasudil, a medication, can reduce lung injury caused by CA in rats [105]. Fasudil showed protective effects by decreasing lung edema, oxidative stress, and inflammation. These effects are believed to be mediated through the inhibition of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway, which is known to be inv...
Post-cardiac arrest syndromeDrugsThe medication used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has by no means yielded the expected prognostic benefit. This review focuses on drugs that are currently under investigation as part of novel therapeutic strategies in CPR and post-resuscitation care. The main ...
It includes antiarrhythmic medication use and standard medical therapy. The most commonly used antiarrhythmic agents include: - Amiodarone: IV amiodarone is frequently used as a first-line treatment for VAs as it is better tolerated in patients with low ejection fraction than the other antiarr...
Women usually have untypical symptoms while suffering heart attacks, so their mortality is higher than males, according to experts. Early diagnosis, intervention and treatment are key to reduce the risk of heart attack and the risk ...
Unlike Impella, VA-ECMO may be initiated rapidly at the bedside and is the optimal MCS strategy during cardiac arrest. The largest systematic review to date of 358 peripartum ECMO runs demonstrated a 75.4% 30-day and 74.3% 1-year maternal survival [62]. Furthermore, among the patients ...
This approach may decrease medication-related issues [95]. In order to guarantee a continuum of care from the inpatient to the outpatient setting, a valuable option could be to involve the same pharmacist dealing with the patient during the ICU stay [96]. The rehabilitation process after ICU...
more complex arrhythmias can lead to a cardiac arrest or stroke and require a cardio-obstetrics team for optimal care during pregnancy. Management strategies may include anti-arrhythmic medication therapy and/or consideration of performing a surgical procedure—radiofrequency ablation—that can stabilize ...
People were excluded from the AF/flutter study population if, within the 30 days post-exacerbation, they had evidence of other non-AF arrhythmias (e.g., cardiac arrest) (Fig. 1 for study designs; Supplementary Figures 1 and 2 for HF and AF/flutter eligibility diagram respectively). Fig. ...
Untangling the relationship between medication adherence and post-myocardial infarction outcomes: medication adherence and clinical outcomes. high levels of adherence to each and all guideline-recommended post-MI secondary prevention medication is associated with improved event-free survival. Lower... NK ...
