Part 9: Post-Cardiac Arrest Care: 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care

TL;DR: The goal of immediate post-cardiac arrest care is to optimize systemic perfusion, restore metabolic homeostasis, and support organ system function to increase the likelihood of intact neurological survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mental Health Consequences of COVID-19 and Physical Distancing: The Need for Prevention and Early Intervention.

TL;DR: It is necessary to plan for the inevitability of loneliness and its sequelae as populations physically and socially isolate and to develop ways to intervene to mitigate the spread of this disease.

Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of compression depth and pre-shock pauses predict defibrillation failure during cardiac arrest

TL;DR: The quality of CPR prior to defibrillation directly affects clinical outcomes and strategies to correct these deficiencies should be developed and consideration should be made to replacing current-generation automated external defibrillators that require long pre-shock pauses for rhythm analysis.
