Resuscitating Resuscitation: Advanced Therapies for Resistant Ventricular Dysrhythmias.

Background: More than 640,000 combined in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the United States. However, survival rates and meaningful neurologic recovery remain poor. Although "shockable" rhythms (i.

Management of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Toxicities: A Review and Guideline for Emergency Providers.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an adoptive cellular immunotherapy that is being utilized more frequently due to its initial success in advanced-stage cancers. Unfortunately, CAR T-cell therapy is often associated with acute systemic toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and CAR T-cell-associated neurotoxicity (neurotoxicity).

Objective: We created a review that addresses the potential common emergency department (ED) presentations associated with CAR T-cell therapy.
