Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the factors affecting the rate of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) in nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases in Taiwan, which has lower ROSC rates compared to other developed countries.
- Researchers analyzed CPR quality parameters, including chest compression interruptions and chest compression fraction (CCF), among 587 out of 1265 patients studied.
- Findings indicate that maintaining a CCF above 0.8 and limiting chest compression interruptions to fewer than 3 times are crucial for improving ROSC, while challenges related to patient transportation within buildings hinder effective CPR.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the use of dexmedetomidine, an anxiolytic and analgesic, in pediatric strabismus surgery to prevent complications like emergence agitation (EA), postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and pain.
- The analysis included nine randomized controlled trials and found that dexmedetomidine significantly reduced the incidence of EA, PONV, and the need for pain relief compared to a placebo.
- Continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine was more effective than other administration methods, and it also lowered the risk of the oculocardiac reflex, showing its potential benefits in improving postoperative recovery in children.
Aim: Resuscitation guidelines do not recommend a target blood glucose (BG) level specifically tailored for diabetics experiencing an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). The glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level may be associated with neurological prognosis and used to identify the optimal BG level for diabetic IHCA patients.
Methods: This study was a retrospective study in a single medical centre.
Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcome of dynamic cardiomyoplasty in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Methods: Three male patients with dilated cardiomyopathy at age of 36, 45 and 62 years were underwent dynamic cardiomyoplasty from 1994 to 1995. Postoperative follow-up were performed.
