Introduction: Data on circumstances of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in Germany are limited. The present study aimed to investigate systematically the current pre- and in-hospital circumstances of a SCA cohort at young age (65 years or younger) in Germany.
Methods: In the period from 2010 to 2021, we enrolled 191 consecutive patients with SCA at a university hospital in the Ruhr area, Germany.

Background: The Irish Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest registry (OHCAR) collects data based on the internationally recognised Utstein template. The Utstein comparator group (bystander witnessed and initial shockable rhythm) has specific relevance in benchmarking out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) health system performance.
Aims: To describe OHCA in the Utstein comparator group during 2012 to 2020 in Ireland.

Study Objective: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a rescue therapy for selected patients when conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) fails. Current evidence suggests that the success of eCPR depends on well-structured in- and out-of-hospital protocols. This article describes the Vienna eCPR program, and the interventions implemented to improve clinical processes and patient outcomes.

Background: Factors contributing to worse outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) from minoritized communities are poorly understood. We sought to evaluate the impact of receiving hospital performance on OHCA outcome disparities.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of non-traumatic OHCAs from the National Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival from 2013-2022 that survived hospital admission.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests represent impactful events. Despite the evolution of care, they are still associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present the analysis of our activity included in the 2023 CHC - Bcar registry in Liege area (Belgium).
