Selected Science from Sunday, Nov. 11
Progressive Metabolic Derangement During Prolonged Resuscitation for Refractory VT/VF Cardiac Arrest and the Relationship to Neurologically Intact Survival With Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Jason A Bartos | University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
- RESULTS: Increasing length of CPR resuscitation before emergency cardiac life support (ECLS) decreased the chances of a neurologically intact survival; ECLS within 30 min resulted in 100% survival.
- Abstract for Bartos
- Presentation Slides (PDF) for Bartos
When Laws Save Lives: Impact of Legislation Requiring Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Education in High Schools on Survival After Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Victoria L Vetter | CHOP/Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
- RESULTS: In states with CPR high school education laws bystander CPR, survival to hospital discharge, and neurologically favorable survival was higher.
- Abstract for Vetter
- Presentation Slides (PDF) for Vetter
- AHA Newsroom: Cardiac arrest survival higher in states with required high school CPR training
Sex Differences in Outcomes After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients: Insights From the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Continuous Chest Compression Trial
Purav Mody | UT Southwestern, Dallas, TX
- RESULTS: In resuscitated OHCA patients, women were more likely than men to have a return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) but discharge survival and survival with favorable neurological function was less likely.
- Abstract for Mody
- Presentation Slides (PDF) for Mody
Different scenarios demonstrated that the yearly incidence of cardiac arrests happening when an AED was present had little effect on the cost-effectiveness ratio.
Lars W Andersen | Research Center for Emergency Medicine, Aarhus, Denmark
- RESULTS: Different scenarios demonstrated that the yearly incidence of cardiac arrests happening when an AED was present had little effect on the cost-effectiveness ratio.
- Abstract for Andersen
- Presentation Slides (PDF) for Andersen
- AHA Newsroom: Public AEDs cost-effective for saving lives, improving cardiac arrest outcomes
