Stronger together - The power of combining existing registry data.

Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with survival following pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest. The relationship between intra-arrest haemodynamics and neurological status among survivors of pediatric cardiac arrest is unknown. ⋯ New substantive morbidity determined by FSS after a pediatric IHCA was associated with baseline functional status, but not DBP during CPR.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Intra-aortic balloon pump and survival with favorable neurological outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a multicenter, prospective propensity score-matched study.
This study aimed to evaluate whether intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use in nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is associated with favorable neurological outcome after OHCA. ⋯ In this population, the current PS matching analysis did not reveal any association between the IABP use and 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcome among adult patients with ROSC after OHCA.
