TL;DR: The goal of therapy for bradycardia or tachycardia is to rapidly identify and treat patients who are hemodynamically unstable or symptomatic due to the arrhythmia.

TL;DR: Recommendations for reporting out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and a standard reporting template is recommended to promote standardized reporting that facilitates reporting of the bystander-witnessed, shockable rhythm as a measure of emergency medical services system efficacy.

TL;DR: This report summarizes surveillance data collected during October 1, 2005--December 31, 2010, and concludes that whites were significantly more likely to receive CPR than blacks, Hispanics, or members of other racial/ethnic populations and overall survival to hospital discharge of patients whose events were not witnessed by EMS personnel.

TL;DR: Data drawn from a large subset of U.S communities suggest that rates of survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have improved among sites participating in a performance improvement registry.

TL;DR: Following a statewide educational intervention on rescusitation training, the proportion of patients receiving bystander-initiated CPR and defibrillation by first responders increased and was associated with greater likelihood of survival and neurological outcome.
