Mashup Score: 28
Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of mortality in Europe.1 Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is dismal. The survival rate ranges from 8 to 14%.2 In selected cases of cardiac arrest refractory to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the use of extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has recently shown conflicting results in randomised controlled trials (RCT).3–5 These conflicting results might be due to multiple differences in study design (single-centre [ARREST and Prague OHCA study] versus multi-centre [INCEPTION], enrolment period and study size (14 ECPR patients within one year [ARREST] versus 124 ECPR patients between 2013 and 2020 [Prague OHCA study] versus 70 ECPR patients between 2017 and 2021 [INCEPTION]), patient selection (initial ECG rhythm: shockable [ARREST and INCEPTION] versus any rhythm [Prague OHCA study], witnessed cardiac arrest [Prague OHCA study and INCEPTION]), ECPR organisa

Mashup Score: 6The association between mechanical CPR and outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest: An observational cohort study - 2 month(s) ago
Cardiac arrest is a highly morbid condition that affects nearly 200,000 hospitalized individuals each year in the United States.1–4 Apart from high-quality chest compressions and early defibrillation for cardiac arrest with initial shockable rhythms, few interventions have consistently demonstrated benefit for this critically-ill population.5 Given the public health importance of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), there is an urgent need to identify effective therapies.

Mashup Score: 7
Good outcome in patients following cardiac arrest (CA) is usually defined as Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) 1–2, while CPC 3 is debated, and CPC 4–5 represent poor outcome. We aimed to assess when the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) can improve CPC outcome description, especially in CPC 3. We further aimed to correlate neuron specific enolase (NSE) with both functional measures to explore their relationship with neuronal damage.

Mashup Score: 0Using rapid response system trigger clusters to characterize patterns of clinical deterioration among hospitalized adult patients - 6 month(s) ago
Many rapid response system (RRS) events are activated using multiple triggers. However, the patterns in which multiple RRS triggers occur together to activate RRS events are unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify these patterns (RRS trigger clusters) and determine their association with outcomes among hospitalized adult patients.

Improving in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) quality of care for adult and pediatric patients—not simply survival—requires a comprehensive set of programs and actions. Ideally, these should be embedded in a system of care that (1) plans and prepares for IHCA, (2) prevents IHCA when avoidable, (3) delivers high-quality, guideline-based resuscitation, and (4) continuously evaluates and improves itself within a culture of person-centered care.

This study sought to assess the effects of increasing the ventilatory rate from 10 min−1 to 20 min−1 using a mechanical ventilator during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) on ventilation, acid-base-status, and outcomes.
