Rationale, development and implementation of the ReACanROC registry for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in France and Canada.

France and Canada prehospital systems and care delivery in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) show substantial differences. This article aims to describe the rationale, design, implementation and expected research implications of the international, population-based, France-Canada registry for OHCAs, namely ReACanROC, which is built from the merging of two nation-wide, population-based, Utstein-style prospectively implemented registries for OHCAs attended to by emergency medical services. Under the supervision of an international steering committee and research network, the ReACanROC dataset will be used to run in-depth analyses on the differences in organisational, practical and geographic predictors of survival after OHCA between France and Canada.

Impacts of chest compression cycle length and real-time feedback with a CPRmeter® on chest compression quality in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled factorial plan trial.

Background: With a survival rate of 6 to 11%, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a healthcare challenge with room for improvement in morbidity and mortality. The guidelines emphasize the highest possible quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and chest compressions (CC). It is essential to minimize CC interruptions, and therefore increase the chest compression fraction (CCF), as this is an independent factor for survival.

ReACanROC: Towards the creation of a France-Canada research network for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Aims: There are large differences between emergency medical systems, which may account for variability in outcomes. We seek to compare prehospital organizations, response modes, patient characteristics and outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, between France and Canada, and discuss the need for the first European-North American prehospital research network on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Methods: Preliminary comparative description of data drawn from two nation-wide, population-based, Utstein-style prospectively implemented registries for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in France and Canada (France: RéAC, Canada: CanROC), covering approximately 80 million people, and soon to be participating in an international research network in 2020.

Identification of a morning out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cluster of high-incidence: towards a chrono-preventive care strategy.

Methods: A national retrospective multicentre study was conducted based on the French National Cardiac Arrest Registry. Comparison of patients (intraosseous vs.

Can We Define Termination Of Resuscitation Criteria In Out-Of-Hospital Hanging?

Objective: Survival rate of cardiac arrest due to hanging (H-CA) victims is low. Hence, this leads to the question of the utility of resuscitation in these patients. The objective was to investigate whether there are predictive criteria for survival with a good neurological outcome or predictive criteria for non-survival or survival with a poor neurological outcome enabling us to define the termination of resuscitation rules in these patients.

Epidemiology of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A French national incidence and mid-term survival rate study.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is considered an important public health issue but its incidence has not been examined in France. The aim of this study is to define the incidence of OHCA in France and to compare this to other neighbouring countries. Data were extracted from the French OHCA registry.

Development of an online, universal, Utstein registry-based, care practice report card to improve out-of-hospital resuscitation practices.

Rationale, Aims And Objectives: Care quality is a primary concern in health field. In France, the care practice report card (CPRC) is compulsory for practitioners. It is the first step towards the culture of excellence.

Impact on patient management of the implementation of a magnetic resonance imaging dedicated to neurological emergencies.

Rationale, Aims And Objectives: Neurological emergencies consumed a high amount of resources in emergency department (ED). We aimed to study the effect of the implementation of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dedicated to emergencies on the management of patients admitted in ED for neurological emergencies.

Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients who underwent computed tomography and/or MRI for neurological disorders categorized as the suspicion of stroke and other reasons, over 2 periods that differed according to the priority access to computed tomography in the first period versus priority access to MRI in the second one.

Rationale, Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the cohort of persons having experiences fatal and non-fatal drowning events, registered in the French cardiac arrest registry and to identify termination of resuscitation criteria.

Methods: We performed a prospective multicenter study based on data from French cardiac arrest registry database. All patients with cardiac arrest after drowning (CAD) recorded between July 2011 and November 2014 were included.

Rationale, methodology, implementation, and first results of the French out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry.

Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an important public health issue with an estimated incidence of 50,000 cases per year in France. Community survival rates for OHCA are still low (approximately 5%). An effective, recognized way to study, assess, and improve OHCA care is to create a standard-format database.

Evidence of the influence of physical activity on the metabolic syndrome and/or on insulin resistance in pediatric populations: a systematic review.

This study is aimed at updating the relationships between physical activity (PA) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and/or insulin resistance (IR) in youth. Cross-sectional, prospective cohort and intervention studies, which examined the effect of PA on MetS, its components and IR in children and adolescents (<18 yrs), were searched by applying a combination of criteria in the PubMed database. The electronic search of studies published from 2000-2010 yielded >150 references.

[An alternative method to describe an "obesogenic" environment for children: Relevance of a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) (corrected)].

The purpose of this study was to describe an "obesogenic" environment for a group of schoolchildren using a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) as an alternative approach to traditional methodological choices. MCA is applicable even for small samples. Ninety-one children (39 girls and 52 boys) aged 10.

How school time physical activity is the "big one" for daily activity among schoolchildren: a semi-experimental approach.

Background: This study was designed to model the relationship between an ActiGraph-based "in-school" physical activity (PA) and the daily one among children and to quantify how school can contribute to the daily PA recommendations.

Method: Fifty boys and 43 girls (aged 8 to 11 years) wore ActiGraph for 2 schooldays of no structured PA. The daily moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA(d)) was regressed on the school time MVPA (MVPA(s)).

Actigraph-defined moderate-to-vigorous physical activity cut-off points among children: statistical and biobehavioural relevance.

Aim: To compare Actigraph-defined moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) cutpoints among children, combining statistical and biobehavioural analyses.

Methods: One hundred and thirteen children aged 10.0 +/- 0.

Vasopressin and epinephrine vs. epinephrine alone in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Background: During the administration of advanced cardiac life support for resuscitation from cardiac arrest, a combination of vasopressin and epinephrine may be more effective than epinephrine or vasopressin alone, but evidence is insufficient to make clinical recommendations.

Methods: In a multicenter study, we randomly assigned adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to receive successive injections of either 1 mg of epinephrine and 40 IU of vasopressin or 1 mg of epinephrine and saline placebo, followed by administration of the same combination of study drugs if spontaneous circulation was not restored and subsequently by additional epinephrine if needed. The primary end point was survival to hospital admission; the secondary end points were return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital discharge, good neurologic recovery, and 1-year survival.

Physical activity and sedentary lifestyle in children as time-limited functions: usefulness of the principal component analysis method.

This study was designed to examine the hourly variation in and the interplay between physical activity and sedentary behavior (SB) in order to highlight key time periods for physical activity interventions for children. Data for physical activity and SB obtained with ActiGraph in 56 boys and 47 girls aged from 8 to 11 years. These data were divided into sixty minute-time samples for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and SB, and analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation statistics.
