Resuscitation
-
To investigate whether live video streaming from the bystander's smartphone to a medical dispatcher can improve the quality of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ⋯ Live video streaming from the scene of a cardiac arrest to medical dispatchers is feasible. It allowed an opportunity for dispatchers to coach those providing CPR which was associated with a subjectively evaluated improvement in CPR performance.

Evaluate cerebrovascular autoregulation (CAR) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) after pediatric cardiac arrest and determine if deviations from CAR-derived optimal mean arterial pressure (MAPopt) are associated with outcomes. ⋯ Greater burden of MAP below NIRS-derived MAPopt - 5 during the first 24 h after cardiac arrest was associated with unfavorable outcomes.

To determine the accuracy of the recently proposed landmark-method 'nostril-to-tragus minus 10 mm' and compare with ERC-recommended distances for nasopharyngeal airway length sizing in children. ⋯ German Clinical Trials Register; DRKS00021007.
