CARDIAC ARREST (CA)

This study looked back at medical records of 65 people who had a cardiac arrest (heart stopped) and were treated with a heart-lung machine. The goal was to find factors that might predict who survives. Researchers checked things like how long the heart was stopped, initial heart …

This study looked at how 74 people who received emergency ECMO (a heart-lung machine) after a cardiac arrest were doing 30 days later. Researchers measured their physical and mental quality of life using standard questionnaires. The goal was to understand recovery beyond just sur…

This study tested a new device called RescueDoppler that can monitor blood flow in the neck artery without needing a specialist. It was used on 285 adults experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, both in and out of the hospital. The goal was to see if the device could help tell when b…

This study tested whether video calls (V-CPR) help untrained bystanders perform CPR better than standard phone calls (T-CPR), especially in challenging conditions like noise or poor lighting. 157 healthy volunteers performed CPR on a manikin while guided by a dispatcher via phone…

This study looked at how wearing full firefighter protective equipment affects chest compressions during CPR. 38 healthy firefighters performed 12 minutes of CPR in full gear, switching between 1-minute and 2-minute intervals. The goal was to see which interval leads to better co…

This study looked at whether a low-field MRI (0.23-T) could be safely used to scan the brains of 36 patients who were on a heart-lung machine after a cardiac arrest. The goal was to see if the scan could be done without causing serious problems and to find signs of brain injury. …
