International initiation and termination of resuscitation practices: Protocol of a cross-sectional survey

Ulrik Havshoj, Ida-Marie Dreijer Juhl, Louise Milling, Jeannett Kjaer Jorgensen, Helle Collatz Christensen, Freddy Lippert, Laurie J. Morrison, Soren Mikkelsen, Anne Craveiro Brochner

Summary: This article introduces an international survey project on cardiac arrest treatment, aiming to understand the variations in prehospital resuscitation measures in different countries and regions, and study the multiple factors leading to differences in survival rates. The survey will provide both quantitative and qualitative data, contributing to the improvement of cardiac arrest treatment outcomes.

Scoping review of echocardiographic parameters associated with diagnosis and prognosis after resuscitated sudden cardiac arrest

Linda Liu, Aris Karatasakis, Peter J. Kudenchuk, James N. Kirkpatrick, Michael R. Sayre, David J. Carlbom, Nicholas J. Johnson, Jeffrey L. Probstfield, Catherine Counts, Kelley R. H. Branch

Summary: This study analyzed published data on early post-resuscitation echocardiography, and found limited evidence supporting its use in determining the cardiac causes of sudden death and predicting prognosis. Further research is needed to enhance the clinical application of early echocardiographic findings in post arrest care.

Considerations for the design of overdose education and naloxone distribution interventions: results of a multi-stakeholder workshop

Kate Sellen, Benjamin A. Markowitz, Janet Parsons, Pamela Leece, Curtis Handford, Nick Goso, Shaun Hopkins, Michelle Klaiman, Rita Shahin, Geoffrey Milos, Amy Wright, Mercy Charles, Laurie Morrison, Carol Strike, Aaron Orkin

Summary: This study aimed to understand the factors to consider for the design of naloxone distribution programs in point-of-care settings from the point of view of community stakeholders. Through a multi-stakeholder co-design workshop, participants identified seven considerations for the design of naloxone distribution programs including training needs and the provision of naloxone.

The burden of incidental SARS-CoV-2 infections in hospitalized patients across pandemic waves in Canada

Finlay McAlister, Jeffrey Hau, Clare Atzema, Andrew McRae, Laurie Morrison, Lars Grant, Ivy Cheng, Rhonda Rosychuk, Corinne M. Hohl

Summary: This study investigated hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 infected patients in 47 Canadian emergency departments and found that 26% of unrelated hospitalizations were incidental findings of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, even incidental SARS-CoV-2 infections still caused substantial morbidity/mortality and placed a burden on healthcare resources.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the accuracy and reliability of self-reported vaccination status. The results showed that self-reported vaccination status had high accuracy for adult patients who could self-report their vaccination data.

Summary: Improving rates of organ donation among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is crucial. This scientific statement identifies the opportunities and challenges associated with organ donation in this population and provides strategies to increase donation rates.

Comparing methods to classify admitted patients with SARS-CoV-2 as admitted for COVID-19 versus with incidental SARS-CoV-2: A cohort study

Summary: Half of SARS-CoV-2 hospitalizations during the Omicron wave were for COVID-19. The CDC algorithm was more specific and sensitive than the Massachusetts classification, but underestimated the burden of COVID-19 admissions.

Prehospital Administration of Norepinephrine and Epinephrine for Shock after Resuscitation from Cardiac Arrest

Emma R. Wender, Catherine R. Counts, Molly Van Dyke, Michael R. Sayre, Charles Maynard, Nicholas J. Johnson

Summary: This study compared the use of epinephrine versus norepinephrine for shock treatment in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The findings showed that patients who received epinephrine had a higher risk of prehospital rearrest, but there was no significant difference in survival and neurological outcomes compared to patients who received norepinephrine.

Diagnostic yield, safety, and outcomes of Head-to-pelvis sudden death CT imaging in post arrest care: The CT FIRST cohort study

Kelley R. H. Branch, Medley O. Gatewood, Peter J. Kudenchuk, Charles Maynard, Michael R. Sayre, David J. Carlbom, Rachel M. Edwards, Catherine R. Counts, Jeffrey L. Probstfield, Robin Brusen, Nicholas Johnson, Martin L. Gunn

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether a head-to-pelvis CT scan improves the diagnostic yield and speed for identifying causes of out of hospital circulatory arrest. Patients who were successfully resuscitated from OHCA were included in the study, and it was found that adding SDCT scanning significantly increased the diagnostic yield and reduced the time to diagnosis compared to standard of care alone.

THE COMPENSATORY RESERVE INDEX FOR PREDICTING HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK IN PREHOSPITAL TRAUMA

Andrew J. Latimer, Catherine R. Counts, Molly Van Dyke, Natalie Bulger, Charles Maynard, Thomas D. Rea, Peter J. Kudenchuk, Richard B. Utarnachitt, Jennifer Blackwood, Amy J. Poel, Saman Arbabi, Michael R. Sayre

Summary: This study analyzed the application of the compensatory reserve index (CRI) in trauma patients. The study found that lower CRI-T values were associated with an increased likelihood of hemorrhagic shock and could be used as a predictor for hemorrhagic shock, but it was not as effective as prehospital vital signs in diagnosing hemorrhagic shock.

Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Incidence and Outcomes of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Jennifer Z. Liu, Catherine R. Counts, Christopher J. Drucker, Jamie M. Emert, David L. Murphy, Leilani Schwarcz, Peter J. Kudenchuk, Michael R. Sayre, Thomas D. Rea

Summary: This study aims to assess the association between COVID-19 and the incidence and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The findings suggest that the higher incidence and lower survival rate of OHCA during the pandemic were not primarily due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but rather indirect factors that affected OHCA prevention and treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate chest compression rates (CCR) with and without the use of a metronome during treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The use of a metronome resulted in a median CCR of 110.5 per minute, indicating improved compliance to the target compression rate.
