Patients with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are unstable and often experience rearrest, after which ROSC may be reattained. This study investigated the incidence and risk factors of post-ROSC events (rearrest and subsequent reattainment of ROSC) and their impact on outcomes in patients with prehospital ROSC following OHCA. ⋯ This study revealed population-based incidence and risk factors of post-ROSC events. Rearrest was common, leading to unfavourable neurological outcome; however, its deleterious impact may be mitigated by successful resuscitation efforts.

We evaluated whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven robot cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) could improve hemodynamic parameters and clinical outcomes. ⋯ This study provides proof of concept that an AI-driven CPR robot in porcine cardiac arrest is feasible. Compared to a LUCAS 3, an AI-driven CPR robot produced comparable hemodynamic and clinical outcomes.
