Abstract

The outcome of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is poor and gets worse after prolonged resuscitation. Recently introduced attempts like an early installed emergency extracorporeal life support (E-ECLS) in patients with persisting cardiac arrest at the emergency department (ED) are tried. The "Vienna Cardiac Arrest Registry" (VICAR) was introduced August 2013 to collect Utstein-style data. The aim of this observational study was to identify the incidence of patients which fulfil "load&go"-criteria for E-ECLS at the ED. VICAR was retrospectively analyzed for following criteria: age <75 years; witnessed OHCA; basic life support; ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia; no return-of-spontaneous-circulation (ROSC) within 15 min of advanced-life-support, which were supposed as potential optimal criteria for "load&go" plus successful E-ECLS treatment at the ED. The observation period was from August 1, 2013 to July 31, 2014. Over 948 OHCA patients registered during the study period; data were exploitable for 864 patients. Of all patients, "load&go"-criteria were fulfilled by 55 (6%). However, 96 (11%) were transported with on-going CPR to the ED. Of these 96 patients, only 16 (17%) met the "load&go"-criter...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
