Observational Study
Newborn resuscitation timelines: accurately capturing treatment in the delivery room.
To evaluate the use of newborn resuscitation timelines to assess the incidence, sequence, timing, duration of and response to resuscitative interventions. ⋯ Newborn resuscitation timelines can graphically present accurate, time-sensitive and complex data from resuscitations synchronised in time. Timelines can be used to enhance understanding of resuscitation events in data-guided quality improvement initiatives.

The Utstein Based-ROSC (UB-ROSC) score has been developed to predict ROSC in OHCA victims. Aim of the study was to validate the UB-ROSC score using two Utstein-based OHCA registries: the SWiss REgistry of Cardiac Arrest (SWISSRECA) and the Lombardia Cardiac Arrest Registry (Lombardia CARe), northern Italy. ⋯ UB-ROSC score represents a reliable tool to predict ROSC probability in OHCA patients. Its application may help the medical decision-making process, providing a realistic stratification of the probability for ROSC.

This study aimed to compare the survival outcomes of adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) by drowning who were treated with either endotracheal intubation (ETI) or a supraglottic airway (SGA) device. ⋯ In this propensity score-matched study of adult OHCA by drowning, ETI compared to SGA was associated with ROSC but not associated with survival and favourable neurological outcomes at one month.
