Shuffett,Brian Wilcox,Carolyn Kolbaba,Veronica Laude Noland,Marjorie Tharp,William L. Coleman,Marian F. Earls,Edward Goldson,Cheryl L. Hausman,Benjamin Siegel,Thomas J. Sullivan,J. Lane Tanner,Ronald T. Brown,Mary Jo Kupst,Sally E.A. Longstaffe,Janet Mims,Frances J. Wren,George J. Cohen,Karen Smith +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidelines on how pediatricians can advocate for children by helping families, school systems, and communities consider how best to ensure that play is protected as they seek the balance in children's lives to create the optimal developmental milieu.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced hypothermia using large volume, ice-cold intravenous fluid in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a preliminary report.
TL;DR: A rapid infusion of large volume, ice-cold crystalloid fluid is an inexpensive and effective method of inducing mild hypothermia in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and is associated with beneficial haemodynamic, renal and acid-base effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Refractory cardiac arrest treated with mechanical CPR, hypothermia, ECMO and early reperfusion (the CHEER trial)
Dion Stub,Dion Stub,Stephen Bernard,Stephen Bernard,Stephen Bernard,Vincent Pellegrino,Karen Smith,Karen Smith,Karen Smith,Tony Walker,Jayne Sheldrake,Lisen Emma Hockings,James Shaw,James Shaw,Stephen J. Duffy,Stephen J. Duffy,Aidan Burrell,Aidan Burrell,Peter Cameron,Peter Cameron,De Villiers Smit,David M. Kaye,David M. Kaye +22 more
TL;DR: A protocol including E-CPR instituted by critical care physicians for refractory cardiac arrest which includes mechanical CPR, peri-arrest therapeutic hypothermia and ECMO is feasible and associated with a relatively high survival rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air versus oxygen in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction
Dion Stub,Karen Smith,Stephen Bernard,Ziad Nehme,Michael Stephenson,Janet Bray,Peter Cameron,Bill Barger,Andris H. Ellims,Andrew J. Taylor,Ian T. Meredith,David M. Kaye +11 more
TL;DR: Supplemental oxygen therapy in patients with ST-elevation–myocardial infarction but without hypoxia may increase early myocardial injury and was associated with larger myocardia infarct size assessed at 6 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of Therapeutic Hypothermia by Paramedics After Resuscitation From Out-of-Hospital Ventricular Fibrillation Cardiac Arrest A Randomized Controlled Trial
Stephen Bernard,Karen Smith,Peter Cameron,Kevin Masci,David Taylor,D. James Cooper,Anne-Maree Kelly,William Silvester +7 more
TL;DR: In adults who have been resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with an initial cardiac rhythm of ventricular fibrillation, paramedic cooling with a rapid infusion of large-volume, ice-cold intravenous fluid decreased core temperature at hospital arrival but was not shown to improve outcome at hospital discharge compared with cooling commenced in the hospital.
