The fundamentals of cardiac resuscitation include the immediate provision of high-quality
cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with rapid defibrillation (as appropriate). These …

Aim To systematically review the literature on the use of vasopressors during adult cardiac
arrest to inform an update of international guidelines. Methods PRISMA guidelines were …

Objective Obtaining vascular access during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is
challenging. The aim of this study was to determine if using intraosseous (IO) access when …

Background The association between out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patient survival and
advanced life support response time remained controversial. We aimed to test the …

Background Adrenaline is an important component in the resuscitation of individuals
experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The 2018 Advanced Cardiac Life …

The incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and its mortality among children
decreased globally over the years. However, the incidence, mortality, and its determinants …

Objective International guidelines recommend amiodarone for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest
(OHCA) in refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF). While early appropriate interventions have …

There are approximately 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) 1 and 200,000 in-
hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs) 2 annually in the United States, with survival rates of …

Objectives Previous investigations comparing intraosseous (IO) and intravenous (IV)
epinephrine delivery in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) suggest that epinephrine is …

Background Adrenaline is recommended during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. The
optimal dose remains debated, and the effect of lower than recommended dose is unknown …
