We investigated the association between physician turnover and survival outcomes after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ICPR) in South Korea. ⋯ Significant association between physician turnover and survival outcomes was not observed after ICPR in South Korea.

Metformin is a first-line diabetic therapy that improves survival in a wide number of ischemic pathologies. We tested the association of metformin with markers of cardiac and renal injury in diabetic post-arrest patients. ⋯ Metformin pretreatment may offer cardiac and renal protection for diabetic patients during sudden cardiac arrest.

We compared the prognostic abilities of neurofilament light (NfL) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) of various aetiologies. ⋯ Compared to NSE, NfL demonstrated superior accuracy in predicting long-term unfavourable outcome after OHCA.
