Article Synopsis
- A study examined the role of early cranial and thoracic CT scans in the treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims admitted to the hospital between 2008 and 2014.
- Of the patients, 12.7% underwent cranial, 12.3% thoracic, and 6.0% abdominal CT scans, with various significant findings noted.
- The results indicated that early CT scans revealed therapy-relevant findings in 42.3% of the patients, highlighting its importance in the early management of OHCA cases.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of vascular closure devices (VCDs) in patients who suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and received mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) after immediate coronary angiography.
- A total of 76 patients were analyzed, with VCDs used in 34.2% of cases; MTH was administered to 63.2% of participants.
- Results indicated a higher overall rate of vascular complications in the MTH group, but VCD usage did not increase these complications, suggesting VCDs may be safely used in OHCA patients undergoing MTH.
