Background: Previous systematic reviews have failed to find an association between the use of real-time feedback during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and patient outcomes. However, these reviews excluded studies examining feedback with other system changes. As part of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) continuous evidence evaluation process, we conducted a scoping review to examine the current state of this literature and the use of real-time feedback in this form.

Aims: To describe and explore predictors of bystander defibrillation in Ireland during the period 2012 to 2020. To examine the relationship between bystander defibrillation and health system developments.

Methods: National level Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) registry data were interrogated, focusing on patients who had defibrillation performed.

Unlabelled: Projections from each eye are segregated in separate domains within the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). Yet, studies indicate that the activity of single dLGN neurons can be influenced by visual stimuli presented to either eye. In this study we explored whether intrinsic circuits mediate binocular interactions in the mouse dLGN.
