Trauma associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation based on autopsy reports after the 2015 ERC guidelines.

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related injuries have not been assessed since the 2015 Resuscitation Guidelines were established.

Aim: To describe the incidence and severity of CPR-related injuries, and to evaluate the impact of the 2015 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines on the objective assessment of injuries.

Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study analyzed autopsy reports of patients who underwent CPR.

CPR-related injuries after non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Survivors versus non-survivors.

Aim: There have been no direct comparisons of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related injuries between those who die during CPR and those who survive to intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This study aimed to compare the incidence, severity, and impact on survival rate of these injuries and potential influencing factors.

Method: This retrospective multicenter study analyzed autopsy reports of patients who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and were not admitted to hospital.

The comparison of cardiopulmonary resuscitation-related trauma: Mechanical versus manual chest compressions.

Introduction: AIM:: To compare injuries after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) caused by manual or mechanical chest compressions in resuscitated patients with non-traumatic cardiac arrest.

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study was based on autopsy reports of patients who died after CPR; individuals with a traumatic cause(s) of cardiac arrest were excluded. Patients were divided into two CPR groups: mechanical and manual.

[Practical endoscopic methods education in Educational Centre for Anatomy and Endoscopy of Department of Anatomy, Third Faculty Of Medicine, Charles University in Prague--is there room for further progress?].

Unique multimedial centre for education in endoscopic surgery and miniinvasive surgery was established at the Department of Anatomy of Third Medical Faculty of Charles University in Prague during 2000 to 2005. A new fixation method was introduced to enable the repeated usage of cadavers for imitation of surgical interventions. One operating theatre was equipped with an audio-video network and a wireless connection to internet together with a graphic studio for the production of our own educational materials.
