To provide an overview of published and registered trials related to post-cardiac arrest interventions. ⋯ This review provides an overview of published and registered trials addressing post-cardiac arrest interventions. We believe this information will be relevant to guide future research.

Observational Study
Visual attention patterns of team leaders during delivery room resuscitation.
To assess visual attention of neonatal team leaders during delivery room resuscitation of preterm infants using eye tracking glasses. ⋯ Team leaders predominantly gazed upon the infant and monitors during resuscitation, and visual attention parameters varied depending on the respiratory interventions performed. Attending neonatologists exhibited patterned fixation sequences that were not observed in fellows. Study results may have implications for optimizing delivery room design and training novice providers.

Observational Study
Effect of Awareness Time Interval for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest on Outcomes: A Nationwide Observational Study.
Awareness of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is critically important for bystanders to receive early instruction of dispatch-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) as well as to call for ambulance services. This study aimed to determine the association between awareness time interval and outcomes. ⋯ A longer ATI in witnessed adult OHCAs was associated with poor neurological recovery. A one-minute delay in ATI was associated with a 9% decrease of good neurological recovery, and the effect was significantly increased in Family-witnessed OHCAs.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Standardising communication to improve in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Recommendations for standardised communication to reduce chest compression (CC) pauses are lacking. We aimed to achieve consensus and evaluate feasibility and efficacy using standardised communication during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) events. ⋯ This pilot study demonstrated feasibility of using consensus-based standardised communication that was associated with shorter CC pauses for defibrillation, intubation, and rhythm checks without increasing frustration index or mental demand compared to current best practice, closed loop communication.
