Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed changes in code status for patients experiencing cardiopulmonary arrest in a hospital setting over a ten-year period.
- Approximately 46.5% of the 1,254 patients experienced a change in code status, with notable differences in age and medical interventions between those who did and did not have changes.
- Findings suggest that medical comorbidities and treatment interventions played a key role in influencing code status changes, while socioeconomic factors like insurance, ethnicity, and education were not significantly impactful.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is increasingly being used to treat patients who have ventricular tachycardia, and anesthesiologists frequently manage their perioperative care.

Ventricular tachycardia typically arises from structural heart disease, most often from scar tissue after myocardial infarction.

More than 90% of thrombi form in the left atrial appendage (LAA) in AF. The purpose of this review is to determine the efficacy and safety of the left atrial appendage (LAA) closure via a percutaneous LAA ligation approach, thus preventing a stroke among patients with AF and contraindication to oral anticoagulant therapy.
