Implementing a smaller-volume adult ventilation bag: Is the juice worth the squeeze?
A bag-valve device, used routinely to ventilate 350,000 U.S. adults each year who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), is well-suited to the prehospital setting: positive pressure ventilation is delivered manually without the need for electricity or compressed oxygen, as the bag is self-inflating.1 The amount of gas displaced from the bag with each squeeze represents the delivered tidal volume. In fact, a standard bag-valve device today is nearly identical in size to the original self-inflating bag invented nearly 70 years ago by the Danish anesthesiologist, Dr. (Source: Resuscitation)

Biomarkers for neuroprognostication: the time has come for the new wave
A large majority of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest are comatose after return of spontaneous circulation and require heavy intensive care. Unfortunately, many of them will die during their stay in intensive care unit (ICU), mostly after a decision to stop life-sustaining treatments due to irreversible hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI) (1). The early identification of these neurological lesions is therefore one of the most difficult challenges for intensivists. Currently, the recommended strategy consists of applying a multimodal prognostic approach combining the collection of clinical, neurophysiological, neur...

Looking into the heart of the problem of refractory cardiac arrest
The predominant cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) is cardiac [1,2], with coronary artery disease (CAD) being the leading underlying triggering factor [3 –5]. In 1997, Spaulding's pioneer research on post-resuscitation coronary angiography (CAG) revealed that approximately 90% of patients with OHCA who exhibit ST-segment elevation after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) have an acute coronary occlusion [3]. However, the likelihood of acu te coronary artery occlusion is highly variable across patients with OHCA [6]. (Source: Resuscitation)

Early Extracorporeal CPR For Refractory Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest – a pre-planned per-protocol analysis OF THE INCEPTION-TRIAL
Evidence for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains inconclusive. Recently, the INCEPTION-trial, comparing extracorporeal with conventional CPR, found no statistically significant difference in neurologically favorable survival. Since protocol deviations were anticipated, a pre-specified per-protocol analysis was foreseen. (Source: Resuscitation)
