Routine provision of defibrillatory countershock (CS) in the initial management of asystolic cardiac arrest has been advocated because certain cases of ventricular fibrillation (VF) may present as asystole (AS).To determine the value of initial CS versus endotracheal intubation and pharmacologic therapy...
Evaluation of outcomes after EMS-witnessed traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest caused by traffic collisions AIM :The survival rate of patients with traumatic cardiac arrest is 3 % or lower. Cardiac arrest witnessed by emergency medical services (EMS) accounts for... S Kitano,K Fujimoto,K Su...
A 34-year-old female suffered a sudden witnessed collapse at work. Out-of-hospital cardio-pulmonary resuscitation was initiated and after 8 min and cardiac defibrillation spontaneous circulation was re-established. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit and extubated the next day witho...
Of 42 patients with bystander-witnessed cardiac arrests, 13.3% in the CS Group had ROSC compared to 40.7% in the No CS Group (P = 0.07). Emergency department admission rates were 6.7% for the CS Group and 33.3% for the No CS Group (P = 0.07); while hospital admission rates were ...

Patients: Adults with witnessed, nontraumatic, out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrests regardless of initial electrocardiographic rhythm with return of spontaneous circulation who were admitted to an ICU. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: The study cohort included 154 comatose sur...

Named the "R-EDByUS score," the developed model is derived from the initials of its five variables: age, duration to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or time to hospital arrival, absence of bystander CPR, whether the arrest was witnessed and, finally, initial heart rhythm (shockable ...
Epidemiology and Pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection In the first 20 years of the twenty-first century, we have witnessed the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) around the world, posin...
Conventional chemotherapy remained the only option for pretreated PTCL for many years, but over the past decade we have witnessed a transformation in the way these refractory malignancies are managed. Hematopoietic transplantation appears to be an effective treatment approach in relapsed/refractory PTCL (...
