We report the quantification of a hemodynamic profile sufficient to support consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A 62-yr-old man experienced cardiac arrest while being evaluated for heart failure after heart transplantation. During the emergency, hemodynamic data were obtained from bedside monitors and reviewed at regular intervals. His mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate were correlated with consciousness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A mean arterial blood pressure of 50 mm Hg with a heart rate of 100 bpm supported consciousness during cardiac arrest. This case helps to validate the recent emphasis on hard, fast, basic life support.

Background: Rapid recognition of pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) is a critical component to prompt initiation of bystander interventions. We aimed to investigate barriers for responding to POHCA during emergency medical calls.
Methods And Results: We included all POHCA calls (aged 0-18 years) from the emergency dispatch center in the Capital Region of Denmark between 2018 and 2021 and excluded POHCAs with no resuscitation order, found dead, where trained health professionals were on site, or where there was no possibility for initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

ECMO is an advanced technology for extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support. It involves the extraction of venous blood from the patient's body, which is subsequently oxygenated within an oxygenator (or membrane lung). This oxygen-rich blood is reinfused either into veins or arteries, rapidly compensating for impaired lung and heart functionalities.

Objective: To construct a physical restraint reduction scheme based on eCASH concept (that is early Comfort using Analgesia, minimal Sedatives and maximal Human care for adult patients after cardiac surgery, and intervene, and to evaluate its effectiveness.
Methods: A non-synchronous case-control study was conducted. A total of 486 patients after cardiac surgery admitted to the cardiac surgery intensive care Unit (ICU) of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from July to October 2022 were enrolled as subjects.
