Journal Article

Reducing ventilation frequency during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a porcine model of cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: In a porcine model of ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest, reducing the ventilation frequency during CPR by increasing the C/V ratio from 15:2 to 15:1 resulted in improved vital-organ perfusion pressures, higher end-tidal CO(2) levels, and better oxygenation and acid-base balance.
Journal ArticleDOI

From intensive care to critical care medicine: a historical perspective.

TL;DR: This commentary documents the initial physical care rendered by professional nurses in hospitals of the 19th century in locations close to the nursing stations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myocardial injury in children following resuscitation after cardiac arrest

TL;DR: After cardiac arrest and resuscitation in pediatric patients, the severity of myocardial dysfunction was reflected in troponin I levels, and this prospective, observational study performed in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit on 24 patients following arrest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous gasping increases the ability to resuscitate during experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

TL;DR: Spontaneous gasping is biologically useful and is predictive of a more favorable outcome of resuscitative efforts, and is associated with both pulmonary and hemodynamic effects during cardiac arrest in experimental animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying potentially shockable rhythms without interrupting cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

TL;DR: The algorithm fulfilled the potential lifesaving advantages of allowing for uninterrupted chest compression, avoiding pauses for automated rhythm analyses before prompting delivery of an electrical shock.
