Novel medical technologies are designed to aid in cardiopulmonary resuscitation both in and out of the hospital. Out-of-hospital innovations utilize the skills of paramedics, bystanders, and other prehospital personnel, while in-hospital innovations traditionally aid in physician intervention. Our review of current literature aims to describe the benefits and limitations of six main technologic advancements with wide adoption for their practicality and functionality. The six key technologies include: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), real-time feedback devices, smart devices, video review, point-of-care ultrasound, and unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) automated external defibrillator (AED) delivery. The benefits and limitations of each technology were independently reviewed and expounded upon. Newer technologies like drone AED delivery, paramedic ultrasound use, and smart devices have been demonstrated to be safe and feasible, however, further studies are needed to compellingly demonstrate improved patient outcomes. In-hospital use of ECMO and ultrasound is well established by current literature to aid in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and improve patient outcomes.

Cardiac arrest is the most time-sensitive condition that personnel face in the emergency department. Optimal management consists of good quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the simultaneous performance of focused investigations to identify potential reversible causes, and the delivery of cause-specific treatments. In order to manage patients with cardiac arrest in an efficient manner, team members need to have clearly defined roles and ready access to required equipment.

Objective: To develop a Metabolic Derangement Score (MDS) based on parameters available after initial testing and assess the score's ability to predict survival after out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and the likely usefulness of extracorporeal life support (ECLS).
Methods: A total of 5100 cases in the Korean Cardiac Arrest Research Consortium registry were included. Patients' mean age was 67 years, and 69% were men.
Teaching high quality paediatric basic life support to laypeople: The development and evaluation of a virtual simulation game.

Department of Paediatrics, Division of Paediatric Critical Care, CHEO, 401 Smyth Rd, Ottawa, Ontario K1H 8L1, Canada.
Background: Self-directed training has been recognized as a reasonable alternative to traditional instructor-led formats to teach laypeople Basic Life Support (BLS). Virtual tools can facilitate high-quality self-directed resuscitation education; however, their role in teaching paediatric BLS remains unclear due to limited empiric evaluation and suboptimal design of existing tools.
Aim: We describe the development and evaluation of a virtual simulation game (VSG) designed to teach high-quality paediatric BLS using a self-directed, online format with integrated deliberate practice and feedback.

This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on experimental cardiac arrest models in rats, identifying key contributors, publication trends, research themes, and collaboration networks. A comprehensive literature search was performed on the Web of Science (WoS) database on June 11, 2024, using keywords related to cardiac arrest and rat models. The top 100 most cited articles were analyzed using the Biblioshiny web application from the Bibliometrix R package (version 4.

Division of Environmental Medicine and Population Sciences, Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University.
Background: A comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology of pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurring under school supervision is lacking. We aimed to comprehensively describe the characteristics and outcomes of OHCA among students in elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and technical colleges in Japan.
Methods: OHCA data from 2008-2021 were obtained from the SPIRITS study, which provides a nationwide database of OHCAs occurring under school supervision across Japan.
