68 minutes with chest compressions, full recovery. Plus recommendations from a 5-member panel on cardiac arrest.
The following is told with full permission of the patient, who is a paramedic who also started, owns and runs with his wife a company for teaching CPR.  He has taught CPR to over 100,000 people.  And he's a wonderful guy.   Here is his story:Near midnight in December, this 56 yo very healthy and vigorous paramedic was out on a run with a critical case when his partner found him unresponsive in the front seat of the ambulance.  The partner began manual chest compressions immediately and called for help.  He was found to be in ventricular fibrillation and was defibrillated 4 times, unsuccessfully.&nb...

Neonates with critical congenital heart defects: Impact of fetal diagnosis on immediate and short-term outcomes
Conclusions: Fetal echocardiography identifies patients with complex CHD resulting in better parental counseling, thus facilitating delivery at a tertiary care center and preoperative stabilization. This results in improved preoperative mortality and better stabilization.

Lessons Learned from Infants with Late Detection of Critical Congenital Heart Disease
AbstractLate detection of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is multifactorial and ill defined. We investigated the results of pulse oximetry screening (POS) and points in the care chain that contribute to delayed detection of CCHD. The medical records of 13 infants with delayed detection at a single pediatric cardiac center between 2013 and 2016 were identified and reviewed. Left heart obstructive lesions were the most common diagnosis (n = 8; 62%) and included coarctation of the aorta (n = 6), interrupted aortic arch with ventricular septal defect (n = 1), and critical aortic stenosis (n = 1). Tetra...

Assessment and Utility of Frailty Measures in Critical Illness, Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery
Publication date: Available online 27 May 2016 Source:Canadian Journal of Cardiology Author(s): Naheed Rajabali, Darryl Rolfson, Sean M. Bagshaw Frailty is a clearly emerging theme in acute care medicine with obvious prognostic and health resource implications. Frailty is a term used to describe a multi-dimensional syndrome of loss of homeostatic reserves that gives rise to vulnerability to adverse outcomes following relatively minor stressor events. This is conceptually simple; yet, there has been little consensus on the operational definition. The gold standard method to diagnose frailty remains a comprehensive geri...

New challenges in cardiac intensive care units
AbstractCritical care cardiology is a steadily and rapidly developing sub-specialization within cardiovascular medicine, since the first emergence of a coronary care unit in the early 1960s. Today, modern cardiac intensive care units (CICU) serve a complex patient population with a high burden of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular critical illnesses. Treatment of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach, with a combination of highly specialized knowledge and skills in cardiovascular diseases, as well as emergency, critical-care and internal medicine. The CICU has always posed special challenges to both exper...

Prevalence of arterial hypertension in pediatric hospitalized patients
CONCLUSIONS: In children the frequency of hypertension in hospitalized patients is higher than the prevalence reported in outpatients. The highest risk group and potentially modifiable factors must be recognized and treatment administered in a timely manner. Secondary complications are low, except for left ventricular hypertrophy, which requires long-term follow-up.PMID:36757775 | DOI:10.24875/ACM.21000362

Mental Health Among Parents of Children With Critical Congenital Heart Defects: A Systematic Review Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsThere is an urgent need for additional research on the severity, course, persistence, and moderators of these mental health problems over time, and for the development and testing of screening approaches and interventions that can be feasibly delivered in the context of ongoing pediatric cardiac care.

Standards for Studies of Neurological Prognostication in Comatose Survivors of Cardiac Arrest: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Abstract Significant improvements have been achieved in cardiac arrest resuscitation and postarrest resuscitation care, but mortality remains high. Most of the poor outcomes and deaths of cardiac arrest survivors have been attributed to widespread brain injury. This brain injury, commonly manifested as a comatose state, is a marker of poor outcome and a major basis for unfavorable neurological prognostication. Accurate prognostication is important to avoid pursuing futile treatments when poor outcome is inevitable but also to avoid an inappropriate withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment in patients who may otherw...
