Uncontrolled Donation Potential After Circulatory Death in Slovenia Could Lead to More Organ Donations: Extrapolation of SiOHCA Study Data.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is one of the major health challenges faced by developed countries. Donation after circulatory death is a process of retrieving organs from individuals whose death has been confirmed by circulatory or respiratory criteria. In 2018, 136 625 people were listed on the waitlist covering over 16 countries.

Enhancing Bystander Intervention: Insights from the Utstein Analysis of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in Slovenia.

: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and survival is a pressing matter all around the world. Despite years of research and great strides and advancements, survival remains alarmingly low. The aim of this study was to measure the survival and characteristics of patients having an OHCA in Slovenia, with an in-depth look at how the bystanders affect the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival of OHCA.

How Can Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Data Collection in Slovenia Be Improved?

: The prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been established as a significant contributor to mortality rates in developed nations. Due to the challenges associated with conducting controlled randomized trials, there exists a necessity for the collection of high-quality data to enhance the comprehension of the impact of interventions. Several nations have initiated efforts to gather information pertaining to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
