TL;DR: A growing body of knowledge suggests that the individual components of the post-cardiac arrest syndrome are potentially treatable.

Sellke,Christian Spaulding,Kjetil Sunde,Terry L. Vanden Hoek +23 more
TL;DR: This scientific statement outlines current understanding and identifies knowledge gaps in the pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis of patients who regain spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest to provide a resource for optimization of post–cardiac arrest care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation : concerns about mouth-to-mouth contact
Catherine J. Locke,Robert A. Berg,Arthur B. Sanders,Melinda F. Davis,Melinda M. Milander,Karl B. Kern,Gordon A. Ewy +6 more
TL;DR: Concerns regarding mouth-to-mouth ventilation appear to create substantial barriers to performance of bystander CPR.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-dose epinephrine results in greater early mortality after resuscitation from prolonged cardiac arrest in pigs: a prospective, randomized study.
Robert A. Berg,Charles W. Otto,Karl B. Kern,Arthur B. Sanders,Ronald W. Hilwig,Kathleen K. Hansen,Gordon A. Ewy +6 more
TL;DR: Most animals in the high-dose epinephrine group exhibited a hyperadrenergic state that included severe hypertension and tachycardia immediately postresuscitation, which resulted in a greater early mortality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The need for ventilatory support during bystander CPR.
Robert A. Berg,David Wilcoxson,Ronald W. Hilwig,Karl B. Kern,Arthur B. Sanders,Charles W. Otto,Diane K Eklund,Gordon A. Ewy +7 more
TL;DR: In this experimental model of bystander CPR, the authors could not detect a difference in hemodynamics, 48-hour survival, or neurologic outcome when CPR was applied with and without ventilatory support.
