World Restart a Heart (WRAH): Raising awareness for cardiac arrest and lay resuscitation The most important step in the victim's chain of survival is resuscitation by laypersons. Early chest compressions are associated with increased survival after OHCA.6 Increasing the lay resuscitation rate to 70...
THIS STUDY consists of a six-month survey (Aug 1, 1964, to Jan 31, 1965) of attempts at resuscitation of patients in whom cardiac arrests developed at onset or during the course of their illness. All attempts at resuscitation were done at Muhlenberg Hospital, Plainfield, NJ, a 550-bed co...
(ECMO), or transthoracic ventricular assist devices can be considered.161,162 In a recent systematic review of published case series in which PCPB was initiated during cardiac arrest and then gradually weaned after ROSC (n = 675), an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 55% was reported.162...
Those who had a noncardiac arrest diagnosis were at increased risk of dying after hospital discharge compared with those with a cardiac arrest diagnosis. However, none of these results were statistically significant. Comment Our experience revealed a survival rate to hospital discharge after CPR of ...

Within the entire study population, AED use was associated with a lower rate of survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest compared with no AED use (16.3% vs 19.3%; adjusted rate ratio [RR], 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78-0.92; P < .001). Among cardiac arrests due to non...
