Chest compressions are the mainstay of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Secondary injuries are frequently reported, most frequently to the thorax and less frequently to the abdomen. Review of existing literature highlights liver lacerations as the most common abdominal injury following cardiopulmonary resuscitation; however, an isolated hepatic caudate lobe injury due to CPR has not yet been reported. We discuss existing literature regarding resuscitation-related injuries, report a case of an isolated hepatic caudate lobe injury due to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and discuss possible mechanisms of injury.

In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) has been understudied relative to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Further, studies of IHCA have mainly focused on a limited number of pre-arrest patient characteristics (e.g.

Introduction According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, accounting for approximately 17 million deaths annually, with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) as a significant contributor to this alarming statistic. SCA, the abrupt loss of heart function, is a critical medical emergency that requires early recognition and immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for the effective resuscitation of victims. Various studies have shown a low level of knowledge regarding CPR in the community.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) poses a significant health threat to the elderly population, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. Serum ferritin, a critical indicator of iron metabolism, plays a pivotal role in inflammation and immune regulation. Nevertheless, its specific prognostic relevance in elderly patients with CAP remains unclear.

Due to its hemodynamic stability, ketamine is a commonly used anesthetic agent for sedation during small procedures in the critical care unit. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl, previously diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot who presented for operative correction of the congenital anomaly. She underwent a successful operation and recovered smoothly.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death worldwide, with a low survival rate of around 7% globally. Key factors for improving survival include witnessed arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and early defibrillation. Despite guidelines advocating for the "chain of survival", bystander CPR and defibrillation rates remain suboptimal.
