Rescue-ihca-mortality-prediction-score-for-ihca

2022 01 Feb

A new study aimed to develop and validate a score to accurately predict the probability of death for adult extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). ECPR is widely used as a rescue technique among patients with refractory cardiac arrest and in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ECPR...Read more

A recent report evaluates the characteristics and outcomes among cardiac arrest cases with COVID-19 and the differences between out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the pre-pandemic and the pandemic period. Several reports demonstrate an increased risk of OHCA during the pandemic. A study from Paris...Read more

COVID-19 continues to infect people across the globe, and the United States continues to be one of the most affected regions in the world. Coronavirus primarily affects the respiratory system through angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 receptor on host cells. It also affects other systems because ACE2 is present in the heart, GI tract and kidneys. Infection...Read more

A new analysis has identified the predictors of survival to discharge in adults resuscitated with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). The study findings show that, in adult IHCA treated with ECPR, a shockable initial rhythm, a lower low-flow time, lower blood lactate levels before ECPR start...Read more
