Accuracy of Automatic Geolocalization of Smartphone Location during Emergency Calls - a Pilot Study.
Hannes Ecker, Falko Lindacher, Jan Dressen, Sabine Wingen, Stefanie Hamacher, Bernd W Böttiger, Wolfgang A Wetsch
INTRODUCTION: Widespread use of smartphones allows automatic geolocalization (i.e., transmission of location data) in countless apps. Until now, this technology has not been routinely used in connection with an emergency call in which location data play a decisive role This study evaluated a new software automatically providing emergency medical service (EMS) dispatchers with a caller's geolocation. We hypothesized that this technology will provide higher accuracy, faster dispatching of EMS and a faster beginning of thoracic compressions in a cardiac arrest scenario...

INTRODUCTION: Targeted temperature management (TTM) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been recommended in international guidelines since 2005. The TTM-trial published in 2013 showed no difference in survival or neurological outcome for patients randomised to 33 °C or 36 °C, and many hospitals have changed practice. The optimal utilization of TTM is still debated. This study aimed to analyse if a difference in temperature goal was associated with outcome in an unselected international registry population...

BACKGROUND: The HEARTSafe Communities program promotes community efforts to improve systems for treating sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The study hypothesis was that the rates of SCA survival to admission, discharge, and discharge with CPC score 1 or 2 are higher in HEARTSafe-designated communities than non-designated communities in Connecticut, USA. Secondary outcomes included bystander CPR and AED application. METHODS: The state Office of EMS supplied a list of towns that are HEARTSafe-designated, and dates of designation...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of epinephrine, compared with control treatments, on survival at admission, ROSC, survival to discharge, and a favorable neurologic outcome in adult patients during OHCA. DATA SOURCE: MEDLINE and PubMed from inception to August 2018. STUDY SELECTION: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on adult patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with epinephrine versus controls. DATA EXTRACTION: Independent, double-data extraction; risk of bias assessment with Cochrane Collaboration's criteria...

BACKGROUND: Data is scarce on hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) associated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). METHODS: This is a monocentric, retrospective study conducted from January 2012 to December 2017 in a tertiary university hospital, which serves as a cardiac arrest center for a large urban area. Over the study period, all consecutive patients who were treated for STEMI with or without OHCA were included...

OBJECTIVE: While cardiac arrest (CA) patients discharged alive from intensive care unit (ICU) are considered to have good one-year survival but potential neurological impairment, comparisons with other ICU sub-populations non-admitted for CA purpose are still lacking. This study aimed to compare long-term outcome and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between CA patients and patients admitted to ICU for all other causes. METHODS: In 1635 patients discharged alive from 21 European ICUs in an ancillary analysis of a prospective multicentric cohort, we compared CA causes of ICU admission to all other causes of ICU admissions (named non-CAs)...

BACKGROUND: 70% of Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in Singapore occur in residential areas, and are associated with poorer outcomes. We hypothesized that an interventional bundle consisting of Save-A-life (SAL) initiative (cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)/ automated external defibrillator (AED) training and public-housing AED installation), Dispatcher-Assisted CPR (DA-CPR) program and myResponder (mobile application) will improve OHCA survival. METHODS: This is pilot data from initial implementation of a stepped-wedge, before-after, real-world interventional bundle in six selected regions...

BACKGROUND: We compared the characteristics and outcomes of post-arrest donors to those of other donors, described the proportion of post-arrest decedents who donated, and compared their characteristics to post-arrest decedents who did not donate. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study including patients who died at a single academic medical center from January 1, 2010 to February 28, 2019. We linked our registry of consecutive post-arrest patients to donation-related data from the Center for Organ Procurement and Recovery (CORE)...
