CARDIAC ARREST (CA)

This study examined 297 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were treated by emergency services. Researchers wanted to see if placing a breathing tube before reaching the hospital affected survival at 28 days and brain function. The study also looked at other …

This study looked at 74 people who had a cardiac arrest and were treated with a special life-support machine (ECMO). Researchers checked their quality of life, anxiety, and depression 30 days later. The goal was to understand how well survivors recover, not to test a new treatmen…

This study tested whether video calls (V-CPR) help bystanders perform better CPR than phone-only instructions (T-CPR) in both ideal and challenging conditions like noise or poor lighting. 157 healthy volunteers performed CPR on a manikin while being guided remotely. The goal was …

This study looked at how wearing full firefighter protective gear changes the quality of chest compressions during CPR. 38 healthy firefighters performed 12 minutes of CPR in teams, switching every 1 or 2 minutes. The goal was to see which interval leads to better compression dep…

This study looked back at medical records of 65 people who had a cardiac arrest that didn't respond to standard CPR and were placed on a heart-lung machine (ECLS). The goal was to find factors that might predict who survives. Researchers checked things like how long the heart was…

This study looked at whether a special low-field MRI machine can safely take pictures of the brain in people who are on life support after a cardiac arrest. The goal was to see if doctors could spot brain injuries early without causing harm. 36 patients took part, and the focus w…

This study tested a new device called RescueDoppler that can continuously monitor blood flow in the neck's carotid artery during cardiac arrest without needing a specialist. Researchers wanted to see if it could tell when blood is flowing or not, helping guide CPR. The study invo…
