Left atrial appendage cannulation for left ventricular unloading in a patient with ventricular thrombus on extracorporeal life support.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Internal Medicine II, Division of Cardiology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Background: Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely impaired left ventricular contractility to avoid stasis and pulmonary congestion, and to promote LV recovery. The presence of thrombi in the LV precludes the use of conventional active unloading methods such as transaortic microaxial pumps or apical LV vents. We describe placement of a vent cannula via the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a useful bailout option.

Occupational Therapy Program, Health Services Vocational School, Artvin Çoruh University.
Objectives: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is used in cases of life-threatening cardiopulmonary arrest, is a physically exhausting procedure. Adding to that, sometimes, even before performing CPR, interventions to rescue the injured person from a challenging environment have caused significant fatigue. In this study, taking a novel research approach, we generated a scenario of fatigue during a rescue from earthquake debris and aimed to measure the effect of that fatigue on the quality of CPR performed by paramedics.

Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit, Yiling Hospital of Yichang, Affiliated Yiling Hospital of China Three Gorges University, Yichang 443002, Hubei Province, China. Electronic address:
Objective: To explore the impact of mild hypercapnia or normocapnia on the prognosis of patients after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following cardiac arrest (CA).
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the guidelines in the PROSPERO report. Information was retrieved in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science to collect all publications in English from January 1, 2000, to March 1, 2024, involving post-CA with mild hypercapnia.

A five-finger mnemonic for teaching schoolchildren the theoretical components of adult basic life support: a modified reactive Delphi-guided development and memorability pilot test with schoolchildren.
BMC Med Educ
December 2024
Emergency Department, Maribor University Medical Centre, Maribor, Slovenia.
Background: A mnemonic is a cognitive aid frequently used in health-related education. The main goal of this study was to develop and test a 5-finger mnemonic for teaching schoolchildren the theoretical aspects of adult Basic Life Support (BLS) steps, a process rarely described in the context of instructing laypersons.
Methods: Experts from the European Resuscitation Council's Basic Life Support Science and Education Committee (ERC BLS SEC), specializing in teaching adult BLS, participated in the first phase of the pilot study.
