Nursing homes are staffed by healthcare workers, able to respond immediately to cardiac arrest, including provision of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Overall, 80.2% (n=3698) of patients received bystander CPR and where an automated external defibrillator (AED) was available, 77.7% (n=331) were treated with an AED.
She was intubated at the scene and transported to your ED, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed en route. Despite good quality CPR, there is no ROSC. Despite good quality CPR, there is no ROSC. Despite good quality CPR, there is no ROSC. Emergency Medical Services found her apneic and pulseless. Meert et al.
Here is the case: Report from EMS was witnessed syncope, his son did CPR, but the patient had pulses when EMS arrived. The fact that this is syncope makes give it a far lower pretest probability than chest pain, but it was really more than syncope, as the patient actually underwent CPR and had hypotension on arrival of EMS.

Riskin (2015) showed that rudeness accounted for a 12% reduction in diagnostic and procedural performance in a simulated resuscitation. A third RCT demonstrated that even brief low-level incivility could increase the risk of major error during CPR by up to 66%. 2015 May;30:656-74. 2015 Sep 1;136(3):487-95. BMC medicine.
Background From its founding in 1881 to today, the American Red Cross has taught tens of millions of Americans first aid and other lifesaving skills, including CPR. It also offers a comprehensive “CPR for the Professional Rescuer” course. In 2015, it introduced Basic Life Support (BLS) training and certification for EMS personnel.
Cardiac Arrest As mentioned before, tidal CO2 is a function of metabolic rate and cardiac output, so capnography can be utilized during CPR to monitor the effectiveness of chest compressions. Part 1: executive summary: 2015 American Heart Association guidelines update for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care."
July 29, 2015. James Jude, MD James Jude, MD, early Pioneer in Cardiac Resuscitation, developer of External Chest Compressions, and "father of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation" dies at age 87, on July 28, 2015, "of complications from a rare Parkinson’s disease-related ailment. McSwain, Jr., Heightman, A.J.,
They started cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until EMS arrived. Upon arrival at the ED, your team promptly begins high quality CPR and manages to obtain return of spontaneous circulation. He had been having some upper respiratory symptoms in the previous days. Parents found him in bed that morning blue and unresponsive.
Case: You are the medical director of an EMS system in a large city deciding on whether to respond to all out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) with ACLS capabilities, or if resources should be directed to those candidates for extracorporeal CPR. Bystander high-quality CPR can buy you some time until defibrillation.
It might be better to consider traumatic cardiac arrest as a completely different disease eg LOST: Low Output State due to Trauma The 2015 European Resuscitation Council and UK Resuscitation Council Algorithms for Traumatic Cardiac Arrest: To read the whole ERC guideline on special circumstances cardiac arrest including trauma, click here.
DISPATCH-ASSISTED COMPRESSION-ONLY CPR COMPARED WITH DISPATCH-ASSISTED CONVENTIONAL CPR (ADULTS): CONSENSUS ON SCIENCE. What is the optimal instruction sequence for coaching callers in dispatch-assisted CPR? In the 2015 CoSTR, this was cited as a strong recommendation but based on very low-quality evidence.19,20
TOP 10 TRAUMA PAPERS OF 2014-2015 [PODCAST]: It's been a huge year in trauma literature with big changes and a large volume of dogma smashing evidence. Listen to a great review of the top 10 trauma papers in 2014-2015 @ St. Part 1 Part 2 DONT STOP COMPRESSING HANDS ON DEFIBRILLATION [BLOG]: Minimizing time off the chest during CPR?
Background: Previous observational studies published in 2015 (Geri 2015)(Vyas 2015) indicated that early cardiac catheterization in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) might improve mortality and result in more favorable neurological outcomes. Empana, J.-P., P., & Cariou, A. PMID: 26453685 Vyas, A.,
On arrival, CPR was continued and core temperature was measured at 18° C (64.4° Sci 5[4] 268-270, 2015 ) both highlight a likely association between acute development of ischemic J waves — and high risk of developing malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Chest compressions and ventilation were begun.
JACCC Cardiovasc Interv 2015. A prospective, Single-Arm Multicenter Trial of Ultrasound-Facilitated, Catheter-Directed, Low-Dose Fibrinolysis for Acute Massive and Submassive Pulmonary Embolism: The SEATTLE II Study. PMID: 26315743 Tapson VF et al.
The recent substitution of “Hands-only CPR” being taught --largely because the public is unwilling to do direct oral contact-- has further deemphasized artificial respiration. Just have a CPR mask or filter, and the willing skill to support breathing, also. 11/19/2015. Accessed 11/19/2015.
The paramedics achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after CPR, advanced cardiac life support (ALCS), and Intubation. EMS arrives and finds the patient in monomorphic ventricular tachycardic (VT) cardiac arrest. She has a history of hypertension and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
When buying an AED, consider ease of use, maintenance costs, and features like CPR guidance. The focus on simplicity and clarity underscores the design of these devices, with features like real-time CPR feedback further improving ease of use. The Avive Connect AED is very light and easy to carry around.
A notable achievement was ESEM’s co-organization of the International Federation of Emergency Medicine Trauma Update Symposium in 2015. Further, in 2015, ESEM proudly won the bid to host the International Conference on Emergency Medicine (ICEM 2021).
Qvigstad et al showed in again in Resuscitation in 2013, confirming inter-individual variation in effectiveness of CPR using ETCO2 as a surrogate for CO Trauma Deakin et al. (J. trauma 2004) showed that end-tidal CO2 may be of value in predicting outcome from major trauma (19).
Twice in my career, I've spoken to patients soothingly during CPR so proficiently performed that spontaneous movements and sentient responses could be discerned and apparently calmed; ─a quite remarkable thing. I have never found it necessary to stop CPR to beat my patient and curse them, yelling for them to come back!
Validation of methods of controlling the unprotected natural airway; comparisons of methods of artificial respiration, validating mouth-to-mouth as the most effective means, training and popularizing mouth-to-mouth, and linking and coordinating external cardiac massage (the Johns Hopkins Group) to be Steps A, B, & C of CPR. " Peter J.
REVERT trial (adults); Appelboam et al, Lancet 2015 showed that by modifying the traditional valsalva manoeuvre to be done semi-recumbent with a passive leg raise immediately afterwards increased the success from 17% cardioversion to 43%. Mum (first aid trained) gave back blows and started CPR.
We had only first aid, oxygen, and CPR to offer.

After 30 chest compressions, open the airway. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2008;41(3):485-496, vii - viii. 2008.01.013.
1,2 However, the European TTM1 trial in 2013 showed similar outcomes for those cooled to 33 degrees Celsius compared to 36 degrees Celsius, leading to a 2015 AHA class I recommendation of “cooling between 32 degrees Celsius-36 degrees Celsius.” 5,6 In 2021, the TTM2 trial was published.
Thankfully, that gentleman was successfully resuscitated despite no bystander CPR, and if you listen carefully, we hope to arm you with the tools to do so similarly. Thankfully, fatalities are declining, with just 565 in 2015. Thankfully, fatalities are declining, with just 565 in 2015.
Nachi: The 2015 EAST guidelines conditionally recommend ED thoracotomy for moribund patients with signs of life. The Western Trauma Association broadens the ED thoracotomy window a bit to include anyone with no signs of life but less than 10 minutes of CPR. The latter also recommend ED thoracotomy in those with refractory shock.
