Background: In this population-based cohort study involving a nationwide database from South Korea, we aimed to determine whether rapid response system (RRS) implementation is associated with mortality and morbidity after surgery under general anesthesia.

Methods: Patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia at the hospital between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Patients admitted to hospitals with an RRS were categorized into the RRS group, whereas those without an RRS were categorized into the non-RRS group.

Background: Epileptiform activity, including status epilepticus (SE), occurs in up to one-third of comatose survivors of cardiac arrest and may predict poor outcome. The relationship between SE and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) is not established.

Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study on consecutive patients with post-anoxic super-refractory SE.

Background: Coronary angiography (CAG) and targeted temperature management (TTM) may improve clinical outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This study aimed to assess whether the intervention effects differed according to timing and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performance.

Methods And Results: Adult patients with presumed cardiac cause who underwent CAG and TTM within 24 hours following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were included from the Korean nationwide out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry.
