Cardiac arrest effectiveness trials have traditionally reported outcomes that focus on
survival. A lack of consistency in outcome reporting between trials limits the opportunities to …

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a series of life-saving actions that improve the
chance of survival following cardiac arrest. 1 Although the optimal approach to CPR may …

Background—The 2010 American Heart Association guidelines suggested an increase in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation compression depth with a target> 50 mm and no upper limit …

Background Extracorporeal life-support as an adjunct to cardiac resuscitation has shown
encouraging outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest. However, there is little evidence about …

Background: The 2010 international guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation recently
recommended an increase in the minimum compression depth from 38 to 50 mm, although …

Background—Perishock pauses are pauses in chest compressions before and after
defibrillatory shock. We examined the relationship between perishock pauses and survival …

Background Recent investigations have documented poor cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR) performance in clinical practice. We hypothesized that a debriefing intervention using …

Background Previous research has demonstrated significant relationships between peri-
shock pause and survival to discharge from out-of-hospital shockable cardiac arrest …

Importance The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affects hemodynamics,
survival, and neurological outcomes following pediatric cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). Most …

OBJECTIVES: High quality CPR skill retention is poor. We hypothesized that “just-in-time”
and “just-in-place” training programs would be effective and well-accepted to maintain CPR …
