Survey of Attitudes and Factors Associated With CPR in an Older Population
Cardiac ArrestThe goal of this study is to conduct a survey to better understand the factors associated with undertaking cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and performing CPR in an emergency situation.
Post-resuscitation Care Registry for Survival From Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac ArrestThe aim of this study is to construct multi-center post-cardiac arrest care registry that can be used for data warehousing and clinical research.
Improve SCA Bridge Study
Sudden Cardiac ArrestAcute Myocardial InfarctionThe purpose of the Improve SCA Bridge study is to characterize the care pathway flow of post-acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients as a result of standard assessments of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the acute phase (≤14 days post- acute MI) and chronic phase (≥40-90 days post-acute MI).
Medical Dispatchers' Perception of Visual Information in Real Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest
Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac ArrestDispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a complex, nonvisual procedure that is challenging for the dispatcher. The aim was to explore the medical dispatchers' perception of bystanders' responses and dispatchers' reflections about the added value of visual information in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) situations.
Evaluation of Quality of Life and Its Influencing Factors After VA-ECMO in Refractory Cardiac Arrest...
Refractory Cardiac ArrestExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)If the ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) improves survival in the management of refractory cardiac arrest (RCA), this technique is still an invasive technique, not devoid of complications and requiring intensive care that can have serious consequences for patients. If the studies so far show an acceptable quality of life post ECMO in refractory cardiac arrest, the study looks about the quality of life of our patients in Grenoble who survived a refractory cardiac arrest between 2006 and 2018 at the hospital university Grenoble Alps and the factors influencing this quality of life.
Free Iron and Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Arrest Cardio RespiratoryOut of hospital cardiac arrest is associated with a poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of perturbations of iron metabolism after cardiac arrest and to analyze the impact on clinical centered outcome.
Measurement of Serum Potassium Rate During Accidental Hypothermia.
Accidental HypothermiaHyperkalemia1 moreSerum Potassium Rate (PR) is a key indicator for medical management of patients with accidental hypothermia particularly for hypothermia related cardiac arrest (CA). Experts recommend a cut-off value for PR of 12 mmol/l for all hypothermic victims and 8 mmol/l for avalanche casualties. Any patient presenting a PR lower than the cut-off value should be considered for Extracorporeal Rewarming. This therapeutic strategy is vital for patient survival. However, there is no consensus about what type of vessels should be punctured in order to obtain an accurate potassium rate and what type of measurement technics should be used to measure this potassium rate. The investigators hypothesize that potassium rate in these patients will differ by 1 mmol/l in blood samples collected from a peripheral vein in contrast to a central vein. The investigators study is a prospective observational, multicentre study.
Resuscitation Registry - Surrogate Markers of Outcome After Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac ArrestThe aim of the study is to determine surrogate markers for prognostication of unfavorable outcome (death or persistent vegetative state) in cardiopulmonary arrest survivors. These patients are comatose. Conscious patients are unsuitable for prognostication.
Can Urinary Concentrations of TIMP2 and IGFBP7 be Used to Predict Early Acute Renal Failure Following...
Renal FailureHeart FailureTransient renal insufficiency is frequently observed in the course of cardiovascular arrest. Although elevation of creatinine is reversible in a large majority of cases, severe renal insufficiency is sometimes observed and is associated with a dark prognosis. Any intervention that may limit the worsening of renal function may have an impact on patient mortality. There is currently no validated pharmacological treatment to limit the progression of ARI or to accelerate its recovery. A major challenge then concerns the detection of the reversible character of renal damage. Renal biomarkers have been little studied in the prediction of severe ARI and mortality after cardiac arrest. The combination of TIMP2 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP7) in urine showed good diagnostic performance in the early detection of the risk of developing acute renal failure within 12 hours. Measured in the urine, the excretion of these two markers specifically reflects renal tubular lesions. Moreover, their rate seems to be strongly correlated with the severity of the tubular lesions. Thus, it can be reasonably assumed that their very early dosing in post-cardiac arrest could detect the presence and severity of renal tubular lesions. A threshold to be defined would discriminate patients at risk of developing an ARI within 48 hours post ACR and to distinguish between severe transient and severe persistent lesions beyond 72 hours.
Noninvasive Neuromonitoring of Surgery of the Thoracic Aorta
Cardiopulmonary ArrestAortic Aneurysm3 moreThe aim of this prospective, explorative study of noninvasive neuromonitoring was to search potential and practical methods associated with neurological outcome in the perioperative and immediate postoperative setting of surgery of the thoracic aorta. These methods include abbreviated EEG monitoring, near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler ultrasound and biochemical markers associated with neuronal damage.
