1. 1. The epidemiology of cardiac arrest - In-hospital risk assessment, treatment and outcome

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CPR; defibrillation; deteriorating patient; epidemiology; in-hospital cardiac arrest; medical emergency team; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; rapid response system; rapid response team;

   Sammanfattning : AIM: To describe and analyse sudden cardiac arrest, both in hospital and out of hospital, from an epidemiological perspective, by early prediction, by comparing changes over time in relation to aetiology, characteristics, treatment, survival or mortality and by identifying factors associated with outcome. METHODS: This thesis is based on four observational studies, including patient information from the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, in and out of hospital, and from a local registry on medical emergency team assessment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

3. 2. Placement of automated external defibrillators and logistics to facilitate early defibrillation in sudden cardiac arrest

   Författare :David Fredman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aim: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death in many western countries. Much effort is put in to measures to improve survival. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) significantly increase the chance of survival. LÄS MER

4. 3. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : a study on factors associated with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, early defibrillation and survival

   Författare :Jacob Hollenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; sudden cardiac death; ventricular fibrillation; cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR ; automated external defibrillators; return of spontaneous circulation; fire department;

   Sammanfattning : Cardiac disease is the most common cause of mortality in the Western World and the majority of these cardiac deaths is due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In Sweden, an estimated 5,000-10,000 people suffer an OHCA annually. LÄS MER

5. 4. Out of hospital cardiac arrest : with focus on bystander CPR and public access defibrillation

   Författare :Mattias Ringh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) annually affecting hundreds of thousands of patients in Europe alone. Survival is highly dependent on time to treatment (cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation). Long emergency medical system (EMS) time intervals and low bystander CPR rates are major obstacles for increased survival. LÄS MER

7. 5. Mechanical chest compressions and gender differences in out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest

   Författare :Erik Lindgren; Sten Rubertsson; Bertil Lindahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Sammanfattning : Paper I and II. Both early defibrillation and high quality chest compressions are affecting the chances of survival after cardiac arrest (CA). Manual chest compressions delivers only approximately 30% of normal cardiac output and is further deteriorating during transport. LÄS MER
