Cardiac arrest is the cessation of cardiac mechanical activity. Rhythms: VF (shockable), pulseless VT (shockable), PEA, asystole. High-quality CPR and early defibrillation are critical.

What is sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)?Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly stops beating. When that happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. If it is not treated, SCA usually causes death within minutes. But quick treatment with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a defibrillator may be lifesaving.How is sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) different from a heart a…

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) constitutes a pivotal emergency intervention for cardiac arrest (CA) patients. However, current eligibility criteria and prognostic assessment metrics remain substantially limited, relyin…
The study aims to evaluate the level of local implementation of the new interventions introduced by the guidelines for post-cardiac arrest management and their impact on the survival of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest and admitte…
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of mortality in the industrialized world. Bystander CPR before arrival of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is associated with an increased chance of survival. During the…
The Hospital Airway Resuscitation Trial (HART) is a cluster-randomized, pragmatic trial of advanced airway management with a strategy of first choice supraglottic airway vs. first choice endotracheal intubation during in-hospital cardiac a…
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare prehospital ventilation strategies in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The intervention group is automatic ventilation and the control group is manual ventilation. The main question…
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a leading global emergency condition with low survival to hospital discharge despite advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rates have improved; how…
The aim of this clinical trial is to study the impact of ultra-early transnasal evaporative cooling after cardiac arrest and subsequent hypothermia at hospital, on survival with complete neurologic recovery, compared to currently recommend…
\ This study is a cluster-randomized, stratified, non-inferiority trial designed to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and educational effectiveness of HEROS 4.0, a mixed-reality (MR)-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training sys…
