Article Synopsis
- Citizen responder programs send volunteers to assist with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) before official emergency services arrive, but their collaboration with emergency personnel is not well understood.
- A study involving 65 emergency physicians in the Capital Region of Denmark evaluated their interactions with citizen responders, finding that most physicians appreciate their assistance, particularly in performing CPR and carrying equipment.
- While 93% of physicians have interacted with citizen responders and many found the collaboration beneficial, some challenges were noted, such as confusion between responders and relatives and issues with communication and crowding at the scene.
Objective: The long-term survival of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM) is poorly described. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of consecutive IHCA with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients treated with TTM.
Design Setting And Patients: Retrospectively collected data on all consecutive adult patients treated with TTM at a university tertiary heart center between 2005 and 2011 were analyzed.

Background: Intraosseous infusion (IOI) is recommended when intravenous access cannot be readily established in both pediatric and adult resuscitation. We evaluated the current use of IOI in Danish emergency departments (EDs).
Methods: An online questionnaire was e-mailed to the Heads of Department of the twenty EDs currently established in Denmark.
