Resuscitation
-
It is unclear how invasive resuscitative protocols may impact the time-dependent prognosis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitations, or the relationship between intra-arrest transport and outcomes. ⋯ In comparison to standard resuscitation, invasive strategy cases had fewer achieve sustained ROSC, however improved overall 30-day favourable neurological outcomes. While standard resuscitation yield was limited to < 60 min, invasive protocols offer a second extended window of potential successful resuscitation.

The aim of this study was the evaluation of the impact of a respiratory function monitor (RFM, Neo100, Monivent AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) on the quality of ventilation in neonates. ⋯ Our results suggest that the clinical application of a RFM for manual ventilation of preterm and term infants leads to a significant improvement in ventilation parameters.
