Predictors of Mortality in Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Regardless of Early Left Ventricular Unloading: A National Experience.

Objective: The use of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been suggested to unload the left ventricle while on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock (CS), leading to possibly improved in-hospital mortality. However, the predictors of mortality on dual mechanical circulatory support have not yet been evaluated, especially in real-world clinical settings. Therefore, a case-control study was conducted to determine the rate of all-cause mortality associated with VA-ECMO use regardless of left ventricular (LV) unloading, and with early LV unloading in the setting of CS, and to identify the predictors of mortality associated with VA-ECMO, with concurrent early LV unloading.

Unlabelled: It is known that in most cases of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), apnoeas and hypoventilation occur at birth. Nevertheless, a detailed description of initial symptoms, including pregnancy events and diagnostic tests performed, is warranted in infants with neonatal onset of CCHS, that is, in the first month of life. The European Central Hypoventilation Syndrome Consortium created an online patient registry from which 97 infants (44 females) with CCHS of neonatal onset and PHOX2B mutation from 10 countries were selected.

Objectives: Delivering chest compressions (CCs) at the targeted depth and rate is a crucial aspect of maintaining the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Although administering CCs on a firm surface is recommended, it may not always be feasible. This study aimed to determine whether the underlying surface affects CC depth and rate using a real-time feedback device.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a significant global health challenge with high incidence and low survival rates; this study aimed to predict mortality in these patients.
Methods: This 5-year retrospective chart review, conducted at the emergency departments (EDs) of two tertiary hospitals, systematically categorized, coded, and analyzed variables to assess mortality risk in OHCA patients.
Results: Of the 822 (36.
Investigating BLS instructors' ability to evaluate CPR performance: focus on compression depth, rate, and recoil.

Department of Emergency Medicine, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, National Cheng Kung University, No.138, Sheng Li Road, Tainan city, 704, Taiwan.
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) presents significant challenges with low survival rates, emphasizing the need for effective bystander CPR training. In Basic Life Support (BLS) training, the role of instructors is pivotal as they assess and correct learners' cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques to ensure proficiency in life-saving skills. This study evaluates the concordance between CPR quality assessments by Basic Life Support (BLS) instructors and those determined through Quantitative CPR (QCPR) devices, utilizing data from BLS courses conducted at National Cheng Kung University Hospital from October 2017 to April 2018.
