TL;DR: The high levels of circulating cytokines, the presence of endotoxin in plasma, and the dysregulated production of cytokines found in these patients recall the immunological profile found in patients with sepsis.

TL;DR: In survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, hemodynamic instability requiring administration of vasoactive drugs is frequent and appears several hours after hospital admission, suggesting post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction.

TL;DR: Postresuscitation abnormalities after cardiac arrest mimic the immunologic and coagulation disorders observed in severe sepsis, which suggests that therapeutic approaches used recently with success in severe Sepsis should be investigated in patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: The prognosis of ARDS seems to be related to the triggering risk factor, the severity of the respiratory illness, and the occurrence of a right ventricle dysfunction, after adjustment for a general severity score.

TL;DR: In patients with resuscitated cardiac arrest complicating acute myocardial infarction, prompt pre Hospital management and early revascularization were associated with a 54% survival rate at 6 months, and a strategy including adequate prehospital management, early rev vascularization, and specific care in dedicated intensive care units should be strongly considered.
