Overall, the findings show that wrist-derived photoplethysmography can detect true cardiac arrest with high sensitivity and few false alarms. The researchers called for larger real-world studies to ...

A smart-technology wearable wristband device may be able to automatically detect cardiac arrest, which could lead to faster medical assistance and increased survival odds when cardiac arrest occurs ...

Results from the RAPID-MIRACLE trial have found, for the first time, that the widely used MIRACLE 2 risk score can be applied outside a hospital setting to accurately predict brain injury following a ...

A photoplethysmography-based wristband detects cardiac arrest with high sensitivity in sedated patients in the ICU after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, a study finds.

To address out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, Osaka Metropolitan University researchers developed a new scoring method that uses only data available from prehospital resuscitations to accurately predict ...

When patients receive care after cardiac arrest, doctors can now -- by entering patient data in a web-based app -- find out how thousands of similar patients have fared. Researchers have developed ...

For comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia, neurological outcomes are not improved with increasing cooling duration, according to a study published ...

Cardiac arrest trolleys must be equipped with all the instruments and medication needed to deal with an acute adult cardiac arrest. Nurses must not only be familiar with these contents but also know ...

The year 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). During these past 50 years, tremendous research has been conducted to evaluate techniques, ...
