Summary: Arterial diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than 30 mm Hg in children greater than 1 year old during CPR is associated with survival to hospital discharge, as validated by a multicenter prospective observational study.

Summary: Review of literature on the use of ketamine as a neuroprotective agent following cardiac arrest. No clinical trials were identified, so a scoping review was conducted instead of a systematic review. Ketamine functions as an NMDA antagonist, and preclinical models indicate its efficacy in neuroprotection. Clinical studies in other conditions also support its use in improving neurological outcomes. Future research should explore the potential of ketamine as a clinical intervention in post-cardiac arrest scenarios.

Summary: This study found that hypothermic temperature control after IHCA did not improve survival nor functional outcome. The study may have been underpowered to detect clinically important differences between hypothermic temperature control and normothermia.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of high oxygenation (HOX) and low oxygenation (LOX) on donor heart function. The results showed that the HOX group had improved right ventricular function, while the left ventricular function remained stable at baseline levels. Hemodynamic function was similar between the two groups. The LOX group exhibited more myocardial damage and poorer contractile performance.

Summary: This study investigated the association between physician turnover and survival outcomes after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) in South Korea and did not find a significant association.

Summary: The use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) during CPR has been minimally studied. Intra-caval balloon pump (ICBP) may reduce backward venous flow during CPR. In an anesthetized pig model, mechanical chest compressions (MCC) were initiated after 10 minutes of cardiac arrest. After 5 minutes of MCC, IABP or ICBP was initiated. The results showed that proper synchronization of IABP with MCC significantly increased mean arterial pressure and carotid blood flow, demonstrating the potential of IABP in CPR.

Summary: This study established a prediction model for predicting 1-year neurological outcomes in OHCA survivors using machine learning methods. The ensemble model showed higher performance compared to the multivariable logistic regression model, but performance slightly decreased in the external validation dataset.

Summary: This review provides an update on recent developments in resuscitation education for critical care clinicians and providers. It highlights the importance of providing BLS training to family members of high-risk cardiac arrest patients and the availability of low-cost methods for CPR training. The review also emphasizes the benefits of HCPs' participation in advanced life support courses and the effectiveness of frequent resuscitation education and training in improving patient outcomes.

Summary: The study found significant regional differences in the rationale and interval until termination of resuscitation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases. Cases terminated due to obvious death or do-not-resuscitate orders/verbal directives often receive similar durations of resuscitation as survivors.

Summary: Among patients with IHCA, awakening and neurological recovery were remarkable throughout the first week. Survival and good neurological status were substantial at 12 months after IHCA.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study compared the use of amiodarone and lidocaine in adult patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest from VT/VF. The study found that compared to amiodarone, lidocaine therapy was associated with significantly higher rates of ROSC, 24 h survival, survival to hospital discharge, and favorable neurologic outcome.

Summary: The prehospital administered dosage of epinephrine influences the plasma levels of Ep, but does not contribute to the plasma levels of norepinephrine (Nep), dopamine (DOA) and vasopressin (ADH) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Summary: Insufficient oxygen supplementation during resuscitation may prolong ischemia and lead to unfavorable biological responses 2 hours after cardiac arrest.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the maturation timeline of the spinal cord on MRI in children, showing that longitudinal T2 hyperintensity in the lateral spinal cord is common in infants and should not be mistaken for pathology. The signal was commonly seen in younger infants and gradually disappeared with age, not observed in children older than 21 months.
