Summary: This study describes the importance of communication characteristics in identifying out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and facilitating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during emergency calls. Based on the analysis of 9-1-1 calls, it was found that the language and emotional state of callers had an impact on OHCA recognition and the initiation of CPR.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial found that using machine learning model to identify out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in emergency calls did not significantly improve dispatchers' ability to recognize cardiac arrest, despite artificial intelligence surpassing human recognition.

Summary: The study found that self-led bystander CPR had the best outcomes in terms of neurological recovery for OHCA patients, surpassing dispatcher-assisted CPR. This indicates that self-led CPR is beneficial for improving survival rates and neurological function recovery in OHCA patients.

Summary: The study found that conventional dispatcher-assisted CPR with a compression-to-ventilation ratio of 30:2 was more effective than compression-only CPR instruction for bystander CPR in adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests witnessed by bystanders.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of bystander CPR and dispatcher-assisted CPR on outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The findings indicate that the interaction between compression-only CPR and DA-CPR is significantly associated with good neurological and survival outcomes.

Summary: The study found that RB-CPR was associated with improved neurologically favorable survival compared with CO-CPR in pediatric OHCA, supporting current guidelines recommending RB-CPR as the preferred CPR modality for pediatric OHCA.

Summary: The study found that non-medical staff detected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest more often, but provided CPR less frequently than medical staff. Medical staff had the highest rate of bystander CPR provision. No significant differences were observed in prehospital return of spontaneous circulation and survival to discharge according to bystander type.

Summary: The study found that implementing a simplified dispatcher-assisted CPR program in the EMS system could increase bystander CPR rates and improve survival rates of OHCA cases. For patients with initial shockable rhythms, performing CPR, even without dispatcher assistance, was associated with significantly higher odds of survival and favorable cerebral performance.

Summary: The study revealed variations in OHCA recognition ranging from 71-96% and dispatcher-assisted CPR was provided in 50-80% of NO-CPRprior calls. In cases where CPR was initiated prior to emergency calls, dispatchers were less likely to start CPR instructions but provided quality assessments during instructions.

Summary: Video-instructed dispatcher-assisted CPR in adult OHCA patients in a metropolitan city with sufficient experience and facilities is associated with favorable neurologic recovery and survival to discharge, particularly in elderly patients and those outside the home or medical facility.

Summary: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major cause of death in the Western world. Initiating CPR is key to improving survival rates, with early CPR and prompt defibrillation being important factors that influence survival rates.

Summary: We present the first report of an Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) witnessed during a remote international video meeting. This poses unique challenges to successful cardiac resuscitation and is likely to become more common as remote video calls increase.

Summary: Studies found variations in sensitivity and specificity of cardiac arrest recognition at the time of emergency call across different dispatch centers, unaffected by dispatch algorithms or dispatcher education levels. Future work should focus on enhancing the sensitivity of cardiac arrest recognition to improve patient care and ensure timely resource utilization.

Summary: This study examined the incidence, prognosis, and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) related to exercise in the general population of Denmark. The results showed that exercise-related OHCA had a higher survival rate, and many patients received bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation. Team sports were associated with the greatest chance of survival.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prehospital characteristics and outcomes of out-of -hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the elderly. The results showed that during the pandemic, there was an increase in the rates of neurologically favourable survival, bystander CPR, and dispatcher-assisted CPR attempts. This study suggests that the pandemic had a positive effect on the management and outcomes of OHCA in elderly patients.
