Persistent gender gaps in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Spain from 2013 through 2018.

Objectives: To examine gender-related differences in the management and survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Spain during 2 time series.

Material And Methods: Analysis of data recorded in the prospective Spanish OHCA registry (OHSCAR in its Spanish acronym) for 2 time series (2013-2014 and 2017-2018). We included all 11 036 consecutive cases in which an emergency team intervened.

Regional variation in the incidence, general characteristics, and outcomes of prehospital cardiac arrest in Spain: the Out-of-Hospital Spanish Cardiac Arrest Registry.

Objectives: The incidence and outcomes of care for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary greatly from country to country. We aimed to study variation in the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of care for OHCAs given by Spanish prehospital emergency services.

Material And Methods: Descriptive retrospective analysis of data from the Out-of-Hospital Spanish Cardiac Arrest Registry (OHSCAR) from October 2013 to October 2014.

Teachers’ training of schoolchildren in basic life support.

Objectives: To assess first-year secondary-school students' knowledge and performance of basic life support (BLS) 6 months after training given by their regular teachers during school hours.

Material And Methods: Sixty-two teachers were trained in BLS instruction. They then instructed 1043 students.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) attended by mobile emergency teams with a physician on board. Results of the Spanish OHCA Registry (OSHCAR).

Unlabelled: Most survival outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are provided by emergency medical services (EMS) without a doctor on board. Our objective was to determine such outcomes in a whole country with public physician-led EMS.

Methods: We analyzed data from a nationwide prospective registry of OHCA cases attended by 19 public EMS in Spain, covering the period from 1-October 2013 to 30-October 2014.

Survival and Neurologic Outcome After Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest. Results of the Andalusian Out-of-hospital Cardiopulmonary Arrest Registry.

Introduction And Objectives: There is a paucity of data on prehospital cardiac arrest in Spain. Our aim was to describe the incidence, patient characteristics, and outcomes of out-of-hospital emergency care for this event.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospective registry of cardiopulmonary arrest handled by an out-of-hospital emergency service between January 2008 and December 2012.

Initial complications and factors related to prehospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation.

Objective: Hospital mortality in myocardial infarction ST-elevation myocardial infarction has decreased in recent years, in contrast to prehospital mortality. Our objective was to determine initial complications and factors related to prehospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI).

Methods: Observational study based on a prospective continuous register of patients of any age attended by out-of-hospital emergency teams in Andalusia between January 2006 and June 2009.

Cardiogenic shock in acute coronary syndrome.

This is a review of current knowledge on cardiogenic shock (CS), with particular attention to recommended management. The bibliography for the study was compiled through a search of different databases between 1966-2008. The references cited in the selected articles were also reviewed.

[Out-of-hospital treatment and 1-year survival in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction. Results of the Spanish Out-of-Hospital Fibrinolysis Evaluation Project (PEFEX)].

Background And Objectives: To investigate out-of-hospital treatment, including fibrinolysis, in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction and to determine the 1-year survival rate.

Methods: Prospective cohort study based on an ongoing out-of-hospital registry of patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction who were treated by out-of-hospital emergency teams in Andalusia, Spain during 2001-2004. Patients were followed up in hospital and one year after the acute episode.

[Out-of-hospital treatment of acute myocardial infarction in Andalusia, Spain].

Introduction And Objectives: Clinical trials and meta-analyses have shown that out-of-hospital thrombolysis is effective. Our objectives were to investigate out-of-hospital emergency management of acute myocardial infarction by paramedical teams and to identify factors associated with out-of-hospital use of fibrinolytic therapy.

Patients And Method: The study made use of a registry of all patients with ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome who were diagnosed and treated out of hospital by emergency paramedical teams in Andalusia, Spain in the 2-year period: 2001-2002.
