Journal ArticleDOI

Post–Cardiac Arrest Syndrome

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

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.

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.

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.
