1. 6. Aspects of post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

   Författare :Louise Martinell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; survival; Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator; Prediction of prognosis; mild induced hypothermia;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiac disease is the most common cause of death in the western world and the majority of these deaths are due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In Sweden, approximately 10,000 persons suffer an OHCA annually and in 5000 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is initiated. LÄS MER

3. 7. Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock

   Författare :Martin Annborn; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; shock; outcome; prognostication; post cardiac arrest syndrome; hypothermia;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Some improvement has been seen in survival after cardiac arrest but the outcome is still poor and 50-70% of patients do not survive despite successful return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The cause of death is multifactorial. The majority of patients die from brain injury, but up to 35% die as a result of circulatory failure. LÄS MER

4. 8. Aspects of intensive care after cardiac arrest

   Författare :Akil Awad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiovascular disease, and in particular cardiac arrest with the subsequent associated brain injury, is the most common cause of death in many countries. Annually, around 6000 people suffer from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in Sweden and only around 10% survive to hospital discharge. LÄS MER

5. 9. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the treatment of cardiogenic shock : identification of pre-implant outcome predictors

   Författare :Thomas Fux; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS), cardiac arrest (CA) and postarrest cardiogenic shock (CS) are associated with high mortality. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly used and can offer acute cardiopulmonary life support in this critically ill population but selection of VA-ECMO candidates remains challenging.

7. 10. Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation decisions in the hospital setting

   Författare :Eva Piscator; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: A Do-Not-Attempt-Cardiopulmonary-Resuscitation (DNACPR) order can be placed when CPR is not in accordance with the patient’s will, when CPR is considered not to benefit the patient, or when CPR is very unlikely to be successful because the patient is dying from an irreversible condition. The decision to withhold CPR involves assessment of the predictors for favourable outcome, in compound with the patient’s values and goals of care to make a decision that is of benefit to the patient.
