Summary: This scoping review examined the phenomenon of autoresuscitation (autoROSC) and its outcomes in patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A total of 76 cases were identified, with the majority occurring in-hospital. The median time from CPR termination to autoROSC was 5 minutes. Overall, 31.58% of patients survived, indicating a potentially lower mortality rate than previously believed.

Summary: The success of CPR relies on maintaining adequate blood flow to the heart and brain. This study proposes that compressing the femoral and/or brachial arteries during CPR can improve resuscitation outcomes by ensuring preferential perfusion to these vital organs.

Summary: This study found that in the (DA-CPR) programme in Suzhou, China, the zero survival rate, delays in seeking help, and bystander compliance rate were all suboptimal. Major barriers included caller disconnection, distraught mood, or refusal to perform chest compressions or ventilations.

Summary: This study compared the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in emergency department (ED) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) between emergency medical services (EMS) and non-EMS modes of transportation. The results showed that EMS transportation did not significantly improve the survival outcomes and cerebral performance of OHCA patients.

Summary: Simulation training and debriefing using a CPR feedback device improved the quality of chest compressions and the confidence level of NICU nurses in performing CPR. Despite the age of the infant, NICU providers tend to follow the NRP protocol of 3:1 compression: ventilation ratio during CPR.

Summary: Despite improvements in technology and medical care, out-of-hospital cardiac arrests still have poor survival rates and neurological outcomes. Various studies have explored the use of high-quality prehospital resuscitation efforts, with terms like HP CPR showing promising results. However, more research with randomized controlled trials is needed to confirm these findings due to high heterogeneity and bias risks in current studies.

Summary: This article presents a calibration method for low-cost IMU to improve accuracy by effectively deriving the nonlinear scale factors of the sensors. The validation on both synthetic and real-world data sets showed significantly smaller errors in acceleration and angular velocity compared to existing approaches, demonstrating a remarkable improvement of 64.12% and 47.90%, respectively.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the willingness of high school students in Hue, Vietnam to perform first aid procedures and identify associated factors. The study found that the major barriers to performing first aid were fear of making mistakes and lack of training. Students with higher levels of self-efficacy were more willing to perform first aid.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the quality of standard infant CPR with CPR in motion. Thirteen trained lifeguards participated in the study. The results showed that the compression quality was significantly lower in running CPR compared to standard CPR, while no significant differences were observed in ventilation or CPR quality.

Summary: The quality of video did not significantly impact the evaluation of CPR performance, with even low-quality videos leading to an acceptable rate of correct evaluation. However, there were significant differences in evaluating CPR performance depending on the presented error in the video sequence.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the use of the ACLS Clinical Decision Display System (CDDS) can improve the accuracy and consistency of timed ACLS interventions in simulated settings. Resuscitation teams favor utilizing the CDDS in clinical practice to enhance team organization and decision-making efficiency.

Summary: This study introduces a lip segmentation method based on histogram threshold, which improves accuracy through shape information feedback and optimization using support vector regression model training. Testing on the AR Face Database showed that the proposed method reduced segmentation errors by 23.1%.

Summary: System dynamics is a simple and intuitive approach to mathematical modeling that can help medical students without strong math or coding backgrounds engage in epidemiological research. It allows for the creation of both simple epidemic models and more complex ones, offering significant support for infectious disease control.

Summary: Researchers investigated the potential of a cuffless, non-invasive, and continuous blood pressure measurement system using four neural networks. The models were trained on data from 1669 patients in the MIMIC-III database and accurately predicted systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure, as well as the waveform shape. These results meet international clinical standards and could change the way blood pressure is measured. However, further data and analysis are needed to address biases based on clinical features.

Summary: Pupil tracking data is collected using an infrared camera and a head-mounted system, with experiments comparing eye tracking with saccadic movements and smooth movements. The analysis involves two experiments for each type of eye tracking, focusing on placing the cursor in a target boundary and moving the cursor to a target location in the shortest time.
