Article Synopsis
- The ILCOR Research and Registries Working Group updated data on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) trends from 2015-2017 using information from 11 national and 4 regional registries worldwide.
- A total of 30.0-97.1 EMS-treated OHCAs per 100,000 population were reported annually, with bystander CPR rates ranging from 37.2% to 79.0% in 2015, improving slightly in subsequent years.
- While there was a general increase in bystander CPR, overall survival rates to hospital discharge remained low, with only 16.4% survival in the best cases by 2017, indicating significant variability across different
Introduction: The rapid use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) is crucial for increased survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Many factors could play a role in limiting the chance of an AED use. We aimed to verify the situation regarding AED legislation, the AED mapping system and first responders (FRs) equipped with an AED across European countries.

Whether a system dispatching First Responders (FRs; main FR-types: firefighters, police officers, citizen-responders) is present or not may be associated with survival-rates. This study aimed to assess the association between having a dispatched FR-system and rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival across Europe.

Following on from EuReCa ONE, the aim of this study was to further explore the incidence of and outcomes from OHCA in Europe and to improve understanding of the role of the bystander.
Methods: This prospective, multicentre study involved the collection of registry-based data over a three-month period (1st October 2017 to 31st December 2017).
Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze risk factors and outcome of neonatal pneumothorax in Tuzla Canton.
Methods: Neonates with chest X-ray confirmed pneumothorax in University Clinical Center of Tuzla, within a three-year period, from January 2015 to December 2017, were retrospectively studied. Participants were evaluated for baseline characteristics, predisposing factors of neonatal pneumothorax, accompanying disorders and mortality.
